He Just Embarrassed Himself AGAIN
Texts released by the FBI indicate that Director Kash Patel directed an FBI public affairs official to engage with an X account called "IFindR*tards," despite warnings that doing so would reflect poorly on Patel. Patel was reportedly focused on the views generated by the posts rather than the engagement, pushing for responses that highlighted the FBI's "record year results."
The situation raises questions about the use of taxpayer funds for personal publicity and whether government resources are being inappropriately utilized for petty social media disputes.
The episode also discusses Kash Patel's prior social media activity, including live-tweeting an ICE facility shooting investigation and posting conflicting information about a suspect, as well as his lawsuit against The Atlantic and his children's book.
