Let this sink in - The Director of the FBI didn't know who Dylann Roof is

[malaise]

OMFG.

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., asked Patel if he disputed that white supremacist Dylann Roof had carried out the horrific mass murder.

To which Patel replied, “I’m sorry, Dylan Ruth?”

“Roof,” Kamlager-Dove repeated.

“Roof? Can you give me some more information?” Patel asked.

“You’re head of the FBI, you probably know this. If you don’t know, that's fine,” she said.

“You can give me a reminder. I’ve got a lot in front of me,” Patel said.

“It was national news,” she said. From there, Kamlager-Dove went on to list several other incidents of political violence perpetrated by right-wing extremists.

Asked whether he admitted or denied these incidents took place, Patel said, “I’ll take your presentation as accurate.”

News to me.

[patphil]

14. I'll take your presentation as accurate.

translation: I haven't got an effin' clue about any of this. I simply don't know anything about what it takes to be the head of the FBI.

It was a lot easier doing podcasts out of your basement wasn't it Cash?
But then the pay's a lot better now.

15. If the title had said," Dildo on roof" ,it would be archived on the ionosphere.

16. Name

Sadly I needed your reminder to remember which shooter he was - there have been so many. Once I saw the info it did jog my memory. Of course I am not fbi director

20. On Lawrence O'D. last night

he reminded us of how meticulous all past FBI directors have been, down to how they tied their ties. He was noting that Patel's tie was shabbily knotted in yesterday's Senate hearings. Those men also came with criminal justice backgrounds which Patel has none. There's no way that question would have tripped up any of Patel's predecessors. We are in a heap of trouble.

Full disclosure, I went through my mental Rolodex to recall exactly who Roof was. We've been through a few years of right-wing domestic terrorism, but I got there after a few seconds.

Side note: FBI director at the time James Comey declined to label Roof's attack as an act of terror. Still shaking my head.

19. You can give me a reminder of September 11

I've got a lot in front of me like my reservation at Nobu in NYC later tonight.

22. I'm surprised Patel didn't respond with, "You mean the songwriter dude?"

[Clouds Passing]

23. And he recited his abcs instead of answering Swalwell's question about Dump.

[Botany]

24. Maybe he was thinking of this Ruth

[IronLionZion]

25. Right wingers are mentally ill and heavily armed

but one thing that no right wing extremist has ever been is political.

Many brown Americans are irritated with Uncle Kash for promoting the white supremacist denial of far right terrorism.

26. Can't rule out disingenuousness. Feigning ignorance is a way of trolling/flipping the bird.

"This isn't important to me/us" sort of attitude.

[SpankMe]

27. It's not that he's stupid. It's that he's unqualified, inexperienced and evil

He was a public defender and then prosecutor for a total of 12 years. But, he was never a sworn officer or investigator for any law enforcement entity that I've found. Someone correct me if this isn't the case.

He also lacks character and fitness to be an FBI agent, much less FBI director. He also lacks curiosity and is devoid of any FBI-relevant historic or institutional knowledge of well-known cases that have shaped FBI operating concepts and principles.

He probably has the word "unqualified" tattooed to his ass.
