High-profile Democrats continue to learn the age-old lesson that elections have consequences.

President Donald Trump has made it clear from the outset that he intends to disrupt the status quo with moves such as cutting off the flow of classified information to people who are no longer in a relevant position to receive it.

The latest example comes in the form of a recent statement from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

As TheBlaze reported:

Hill had formerly worked as a deputy assistant on Trump’s National Security Council Staff and testified in Congress about Trump’s relations with the Russian government in his first term for the impeachment trial.

Vindman resigned as the director of European Affairs for the United States National Security Council in Feb. 2020 and went on to become a vocal critic of the Trump administration. He also testified in the impeachment trial against Trump as a witness to the call between the U.S. president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Both Cheney and Kinzinger were members of Congress who have become Trump critics. They served on the controversial and now-defunct congressional committee investigating the rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They were also censured by the Republican National Committee in 2022.

Fox News also reported on the recent developments:

Last week, the White House released a memo that read: “I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information: Antony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weissmann, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and any other member of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s family.”

Earlier this month, Gabbard announced that she had revoked the security clearances of several people listed in Trump’s memo and blocked them from having access to classified information. She said “the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden ‘disinformation’ letter” also had their clearances rescinded.

Here’s a clip of Trump’s remarks on the matter:
