Liberal Maine Senator Can’t Understand Why Climate Change isn’t Cited in Annual Threat Assessment Report (VIDEO)
Earlier today, DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard and others testified before the Senate Intel Committee.
Senator Angus King of Maine is an independent, but he caucuses with the Democrats. He seemed dumbfounded that Tulsi Gabbard’s Annual Threat Assessment Report didn’t include climate change as it has in years past.
He was obviously trying to turn this into a gotcha moment with Gabbard, but she wasn’t playing along.

‘Surprised Me’: Angus King Bewildered As Tulsi Gabbard Explains Why ‘Climate Change’ Omitted In 2025 Threat Report
Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine expressed bewilderment Tuesday over the omission of “climate change” from the U.S. Intelligence Community’s (IC) annual threat assessment report released Monday.
The report highlights threats such as cartels, terrorists and adversarial nations, while making no mention of “climate change.” During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on global threats, King said he was “surprised” by the omission and did not appear assuaged by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s explanation that she ordered the report be focused solely on the “most extreme and critical direct threats” to the homeland.
“One note that surprised me: I’ve been on this committee now for — this is my thirteenth year. Every single one of these reports that we have had has mentioned global climate change as a significant national security threat, except this one,” King said. “Has something happened? Has global climate change been solved? Why, why is that not in this report? And who made the decision that it should not be in the report when it has been in every one of the eleven prior reports?”

Here’s an important question:
If climate change is a security threat…
…why are democrats lighting Teslas on fire?
Please explain.

Senator King might want to address that issue before asking any more questions.
