Townhall’s Katie Pavlich is keeping an eye on Rep. John Ratcliffe’s confirmation hearing to become the Director of National Intelligence and noting that Sen. Mark Warner is already attacking Acting DNI and Ambassador Richard Grenell.
I see Democrat Senator Warner is already attacking Ambassador @RichardGrenell at Congressman Ratcliffe's DNI confirmation hearing. A sign Grenell is doing a good job.

Grenell says he was hoping to brief Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Warner on reforms in the intelligence community but Warner canceled their scheduled phone call and hasn’t rescheduled in months.
I was hoping to brief Senator @MarkWarner on the reforms I am implementing but he cancelled our scheduled phone call and hasn’t been willing to reschedule the call in months. We’ve never spoken. https://t.co/UHgK1zUPmS

CBS News’ intelligence and national security reporter Olivia Gazis took Grenell’s tweet as a swipe at Warner.

That man couldn't help but pounce!!!

Yes. Isn't it wonderful.

Grenell has to get the truth out there, because we all know we can't trust the leftist media to do that.

"swipes" = responds

Is that your summary of the exchange? Ridiculous.

“Swipes” is that the new term for telling the truth?

I don’t think you understand what “swipes” means. Hint: it’s not a default for facts you don’t like. @RichardGrenell
— PacificBeachBum (@JohnGalt20161) May 5, 2020
He "swiped" at him? Really? By stating he has tried to talk to Warner but that Warner refused, is considered swiping? You're a joke.

What's your point? You're saying that the worthless asswipe @markwarner shouldn't take calls from the acting DNI?
— Gregory Alan (@rightgreg61) May 5, 2020
You misspelled propagandist in your bio. He tried to talk to rabid partisan @MarkWarner long before the hearing
— BillMaron3 (@BillMaron3) May 5, 2020
Why hasn’t Warner been willing to schedule a call with him? Sounds like Grenell is ready, willing and able.

This activist masquerading as a journalist refuses to focus on what A/DNI Grenell discloses here: @MarkWarner has refused to take a call with Grenell. Warner is supposed to provide oversight of the IC. What a disgrace — both Warner and @Olivia_Gazis. https://t.co/VmpHshLK7k

Add “swipes” to “pounces” and “seizes.”
