Trump Taps Dangerous Whackaloon Kash Patel For FBI Director
Trump is basically just sticking his middle finger up to the United States Senate, and the rest of us for that matter, as he continues to pick dangerous, unqualified zealots to fill cabinet positions, and now nut job conspiracy theorist Kash Patel for FBI Director. (Ed. Note: we have an FBI director, Christopher Wray, whose term expires in 2027.)
As he fills out his incoming administration, Donald Trump’s nominees have ranged from absolutely unqualified to ideological nightmares. But he might have just made his scariest hire yet.
On Saturday night, Trump announced he’s selected Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Patel is one of Trump’s most loyal enforcers and a conspiracy theorist — a 2020 election denier who wants to purge the so-called “Deep State.” He recently publicly pledged to investigate and prosecute Trump’s enemies in the media and government.
