Trump's pardon of 600+ scumbags who assaulted Capitol cops doesn't stop Patel from praising him for "backing the blue"
At an event in Memphis on Monday touting the administration’s “Making America Safe Again” initiatives, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller extolled the president’s accomplishments for several minutes before dramatically concluding, “What President Trump has done on border security and public safety is a national miracle that will be studied not only for generations, but for centuries to come. Thank you, President Trump.”
So fawning was the performance that Trump offered it up as a challenge to FBI Director Kash Patel: “See if you can top that!” The president added, “I don’t know, that’s a tough one, Kash.”
But Patel didn’t miss a beat. Conceding that Miller’s profile in flattery would be “tough” to top, the ex-podcaster and Team USA hockey fan told his boss that until he returned to power, “we didn’t have a commander in chief who backed the blue, who resourced the blue … who did whatever it takes to safeguard every single life.” (Patel said this to the president who pardoned more than 600 people convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.) Patel added, “You have put on a show for the world. You have allowed us to go out there and capture gangbangers, rapists, murderers, drug dealers at record historic levels. And for me, a first-generation Indian American kid whose parents fled genocide in East Africa to become the ninth director of the FBI, I’m living the wildest dream you could possibly imagine, sir. But it’s thanks to you.”
