Tulsi Gabbard has frequently stated that President Joe Biden is not the one "calling the shots" in his administration, alleging instead that a group of "puppet masters" within the "deep state" is in control

According to her commentary and interviews, particularly during 2024 and 2025, she has identified those controlling the Biden administration as:

• The "Deep State" & Unelected Officials: Gabbard has argued that the administration is run by unelected bureaucrats within the national security state and the military-industrial complex.
• "Warmonger" Cabal: She has described the Democratic Party leadership and the administration as being under the control of an "elitist cabal of warmongers".
• Propaganda Media: She has claimed that allies in the media work in tandem with these figures to push their agenda.
• Specific Top Aides: In her role as Director of National Intelligence in 2025, she specifically targeted and revoked security clearances for former Biden-era officials, including Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, whom she accused of weaponizing intelligence. The Week +3

AI Overview

As of late February 2026, comments about President Joe Biden being a "puppet" have appeared in news coverage relating to 

conspiracy theories that Tulsi Gabbard, now the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), has been associated with or has echoed in her role. 

• Tulsi Gabbard's current position: Gabbard currently serves as the United States Director of National Intelligence under President Donald Trump, a position she has held since February 12, 2025.
• Conspiracy theories in the news: A recent Washington Post opinion piece from February 2026 noted that former President Trump (now President again as of the current date) reposted a conspiracy theory claim that an "Italian company's use of military satellites to hack voting records" was overseen by the CIA and covered up by the FBI "all to install Biden as a puppet". The Washington Monthly also reported on this.
• Gabbard's actions regarding the 2020 election: In February 2026, Gabbard was involved in an FBI raid on an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, an action that drew scrutiny from congressional Democrats, as the DNI's role typically focuses on foreign intelligence, not domestic law enforcement. Gabbard stated she was there to ensure against "foreign or other malign interference" in elections, which critics noted has no evidence regarding the 2020 Georgia election.
• Gabbard's own "puppet" comments: During her January 2025 confirmation hearings, Gabbard strongly declared that she is nobody's "puppet" (referencing accusations of being a "Trump's puppet, Putin's puppet, Assad's puppet" and others), but she did not specifically use the term to describe Biden in that context.
• Previous criticisms of Biden: Before joining the Trump administration, Gabbard was a vocal critic of the Biden administration, accusing it of "lying to the American people" and "weaponizing" the intelligence community. She has since launched an official interagency working group to investigate alleged "weaponization" of government agencies during the Biden administration. 

The sentiment that Biden was a "puppet" is associated with the 2020 election fraud claims that Gabbard is now tasked with investigating in her DNI role
