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

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.”
