The Washington Post\u2019s bombshell report<\/u> Sunday that revealed Tulsi Gabbard may have been guided throughout her political career by a \u201ccult guru<\/u>\u201d cemented the Trump administration\u2019s legacy for the worse, argued Zeteo\u2019s Martin Pengelly, who noted how the revelation made clear that the federal government had transformed into a full \u201ckakistocracy<\/u>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gabbard, who resigned from her position as Director of National Intelligence last Friday, was revealed to have received guidance throughout her 20-plus years in politics from Chris Butler<\/u>, the leader of a religious group that countless former members have described as a \u201ccult.\u201d <\/p>\n

That guidance allegedly shaped nearly every facet of her political life \u2013 from her talking points to the bills she introduced \u2013 with the Post identifying several instances where she appeared to follow through.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsk yourself a question: ultimately, what does Gabbard\u2019s career tell us about how we are governed now?\u201d Pengelly, who previously worked for Raw Story as an investigations editor, wrote in an analysis<\/u> published Monday in Zeteo.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Fox weekend host with an alleged drinking problem<\/u> is secretary of defense. An anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist runs health and human services. And a dedicated cult member became director of national intelligence, despite the association being long known<\/u>. This is what a kakistocracy looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

The revelation also painted a rough picture of President Donald Trump\u2019s legacy, Pengelly argued.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Gabbard\u2019s extreme behavior in particular, highlighted by [journalist Jon] Swaine and the Post, shows us it\u2019s not just a matter of Trump being mad as a hatter,\u201d Pengelly wrote. \u201cHe\u2019s dragged us all through the looking glass now.\u201d<\/p>\n
