Media and Democratic Party link Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation to political motives amid her husband’s cancer fight
Fox News has reported on the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard from her role as Director of National Intelligence, a move that comes as her husband, Abraham, faces a battle with a rare form of bone cancer. Commentators, including Daily Signal’s Tony Kinnett, have accused the media and Democratic leaders, such as Nira Tanden and Adam Schiff, of exploiting her resignation for political gain. They argue it’s inappropriate to critique Gabbard during such a personal health crisis.
Tulsi Gabbard shared an uplifting video on X on Thursday morning, revealing that her husband underwent successful surgery to treat an extremely rare type of cancer known as sacral chordoma. She provided updates on his challenging recovery process. Gabbard expressed optimism, noting that the doctors were confident that all cancerous tissues had been removed during the operation. Almost three months post-surgery, she mentioned that Abraham has begun an intensive physical therapy regimen, although he sometimes gets frustrated with his progress.
“It’s tough, but he’s doing well overall,” she said, acknowledging the ongoing battle ahead.
Earlier, in May, Gabbard announced her decision to resign from the Trump administration to help her husband in his illness, officially leaving her Cabinet position by the end of June.
During the video, she conveyed heartfelt thanks to the medical team and the community for their prayers and support. She closed with a grateful message towards God, embracing her husband, who sweetly responded, “I love you, darling,” with her replying in kind.
Tulsi also detailed the nature of his surgery and described the moment she learned about his diagnosis, emphasizing the rarity of his condition. Choosing surgery over radiotherapy, she recounted both the struggles post-operation and his determination to walk again despite the difficulties.
Currently, she has reported that Abraham is cancer-free but will require regular MRI scans to monitor his health moving forward. Gabbard described sacral chordoma as a slow-growing cancer that affects the base of the spine, a detail that underscored the severity of their situation.
In her reflections shared on X, Gabbard acknowledged the challenges this period has brought but appreciated the supports and good wishes from others, expressing a desire to keep everyone informed about Abraham’s journey.
