The embattled FBI was seen appearing to linger aimlessly in a video captured after a man exchanged gunfire with Secret Service at the White House Correspondents Association dinner on Saturday.

In the footage captured by ABC News Journalist Linsey Davis, Patel is standing agape outside the Washington Hilton.
Kash Patel standing around outside after the shooting like a random attendee and not the literal FBI Director is actually crazy, Eric Spracklen, a rightwing political commentator, shared with his almost 300,000 followers in a post on X.
Other videos show Patel, who was a guest of the Daily Mail, crouched to the ground inside the venue, looking seemingly dumbfounded.
There is a shooting and The head of the FBI is just hanging out? another X user wrote in a post that has racked up 850,000 views as of publication.

of course, he doesn't know what to do, has no training in security. He'd just be in the way.

It seems fairly appropriate for him to just keep his head down and stay out of the way of the people that actually know how to do their job. He wasn't in the proper gear, and didn't have the proper weapons, even if he had the necessary training (which of course he does not).
I can bag on that asshole for all kinds of reasons (and I do), but this pretty much makes sense to me.

he is baffled. Probably upset that he won't get to partake in the drinks.
