Summary

Sen. Adam Schiff opposes Kash Patel’s nomination as FBI director, citing Patel’s promotion of conspiracy theories, lack of qualifications, and focus on political vendettas.

Schiff argued that the recent New Orleans terrorist attack highlights the need for an experienced leader prioritizing national security.

Patel, a Trump loyalist, has previously vowed to target journalists and officials critical of Trump.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledged the need for FBI reform but has not disclosed his stance on Patel’s confirmation.

    Not to defend the prick but who was in charge when the NO attack happened? Carrot top? Maybe the FBI stops countless other attacks from happening but their record isn’t great.
