Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA11) nails it on Kash Patel:
“I think it’s one of the most dangerous appointments Trump has made to date. This man is delusional. Invoking words like TREASON for people who served in the Justice Department or throughout law enforcement…is very dangerous rhetoric. And he has no business getting anywhere near the office of director of FBI…I think this is classic projection, when the Republicans warn about weaponization, they’re actually warning us about THEIR weaponization. There’s no evidence the FBI was weaponized under Biden. As a matter of fact, what’s ironic about this…the FBI is a very conservative culture; probably a majority of FBI agents voted Republican. This is not some bastion of liberal haven protecting progressive and liberal voices in our government in a deep-state fashion – quite the opposite. And it is destructive in the EXTREME to talk about ‘let’s prosecute the prosecutors’…to dismantle the premier law enforcement agency of the United States government. This is a really dangerous moment for our government and for the rule of law in America…People have to be able to rely on the FBI for being a neutral source of investigation and of jurisprudence in America, and I just think all of this upends that…”
Disturbing times.
Kash Patel is delusional. His rhetoric about the public servants who work at the FBI and the DOJ is dangerous and deeply corrosive. He has no business being anywhere near the office of the Director of the FBI. pic.twitter.com/HEaAKtkrjW
