The latest wave of speculation began after Gabbard’s recent appearances before congressional committees, where she faced intense questioning from lawmakers.

That’s when Laura Loomer claimed Gabbard’s resignation was imminent.

According toLoomer, Gabbard’s own political staff allegedly expected her to step down, citing dissatisfaction with her congressional testimony.

Loomer wrote that Gabbard instead emphasized the president’s constitutional authority, which she tried to spin as a lack of support.

“@TulsiGabbard’s political staff expect that she is about to RESIGN, following the resignation of her colleague @joekent16jan19. This comes after two days of her testimony in front of Congress this week where she never once expressed support for President Trump or his decisions.
