MAGA spins a win, but questions remain about the Patel Purge

The MAGA machine is on full blast this morning as loyalists tweet confident predictions that Kash Patel will advance in the Senate today. But some Senators are just hearing that the mass firings and reassignments occurring at the FBI will degrade crime fighting in their communities, not fix it, as MAGA claims. In fact, Patel is the primary architect of the chaos at the bureau. On the campaign trail he repeatedly called for a purge at the FBI, but as the purge began, he claimed to have no knowledge even though witnesses say that "KP" wanted people fired. In the same testimony, he promised to end the weaponization of the FBI, while using assignments to J6 investigations as a litmus test for thousands of career agents. Patel's purge is just the latest reason to extend debate and fully review all of the evidence the Senate Judiciary Committee left on the table. Foreign entanglements, deeply unqualified, Patel will endanger America's communities and America's national security.
