Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) ripped into Kash Patel at a Thursday hearing, challenging him to turn around and look Capitol police officers in the eyes and tell them youre proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues.
Patel, President Donald Trumps pick to head the FBI, went through his first Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday where his connection to Jan. 6 Capitol rioters was the focus of some lawmakers. Patel said he had helped to raise money for the families of non-violent rioters behind bars by producing and promoting a song performed by rioters.
Schiff ripped into Patel and told him to tell Capitol police officers present at the hearing that hes proud of his actions. Patel was also questioned about Trumps presidential pardons of more than 1,000 rioters, including those who had been violent with police. Patel said he supported imprisoning anyone who assaults law enforcement.

(3,268 posts)1). Hes been well coached. He doesnt recall, the senators dont have the full quote, etc.
2). He sure does say we a lot but cant define exactly who we is. We made that J6 tape, but I had nothing to do with it. Glad Schiff called him out on that.
As far as Im concerned, Ka$h can go we, we, we all the way home to $trump and $melania.
And no roast beef for you!
