So Jim Himes is on bluesky praising trump's nominee for permanent DNI head [View all]

He says he'll make a great head of DNI and trump should have nominated him earlier and "save himself a lot of trouble."

Himes is getting roasted by Aaron Rupar and others. This nominee has been on the air spreading rumors about California election fraud just a couple of days ago. I hope Himes reconsiders. It seems he's getting a lot of pushback already.
