Grab some popcorn! Christopher Rufo on the verge of saying Patel needs to go

I’m not going to link the exact message posted by that POS Rufo; but he said this morning that Republicans need to determine if Kash Patel can continue to do the job of FBI Director. He said he spoke to several conservative leaders who do not think Patel is up to the task. While he stopped short of explicitly saying Patel should resign or be fired, he opened that door and is one step away from walking through it.

Of course, we all know Patel has no business leading the FBI. However, nobody in the administration will listen to any Dem who says Patel needs to go. It’s a whole other story when someone like Rufo broaches the subject.

but from what I've read, what Rufo wants in an FBI director is an even worse version of J. Edgar Hoover.

The shooter's parents turned him in

Otherwise each day would expose his incompetence more and more
