Former DNC official, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), told CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday that criticisms of Donald Trump's choice to nominate several generals to top cabinet positions is "offensive" to her as a veteran. Gabbard resigned from her position at the DNC in the spring of 2016 following their treatment of Bernie Sanders, and has been spoken of as a potential Trump cabinet pick herself.



She said: "As a veteran and as somebody who’s still serving in the Army National Guard, I find it pretty offensive for people to outright discriminate against veterans. Here you have generals who have literally spent their whole lives serving our country."
