LIVE: Kash Patel Confirmation Hearing for FBI Director
Oh, boy. We get to hear Sens. Hirono and Whitehouse today. Yippee (sarcasm)!

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, faces off against the Senate Judiciary Committee at 9:30 AM ET.
It should be a contentious one since Democrats find Patel “controversial.”
The powerful committee has Democrat Sens. Dick Durbin, Dick Blumenthal, Mazie Hirono, Cory Booker, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Adam Schiff.
Greeeeeeeeeeat.
Cory Booker

Hirono Being Hirono
NEW: This is a perfect clip. This is the entire Confirmation Hearing process summarized.
HIRONO: "You refuse to answer the question."
KASH PATEL: "I answered 13,000 pages of the question."
HIRONO: "No answer to the question and yet you spread dangerous misinformation." pic.twitter.com/iLEKlg8kHc— Autism Capital

Whitehouse Won’t Let Patel Answer
Stop electing this guy, Rhode Island. This isn’t about you, Whitehouse.
ICE COLD: @kash_patel has the perfect response to Sheldon "Whites-Only Beach Club" Whitehouse with an out-of-context quote
WHITEHOUSE: Is that a correction quotation, Mr. Patel?
PATEL: Senator, that's a partial quotation.
WHITEHOUSE: But it's correct.
PATEL: In part. pic.twitter.com/UwIs64uPXs

Patel Isn’t Putting Up With Crap
This hearing is really ticking me off.
JUST IN: Kash Patel shuts down a frantic Amy Klobuchar after he promised to open a museum of the deep state.
Klobuchar (hysterical): “Did you say that the FBI headquarters should be shut down and reopened as a Museum of the Deep State?”
Patel: “If the best attacks on me are… pic.twitter.com/C3ujJoQF7U

Bingo Card
OK this is funny. Sen. Tillis made a bingo card for Democrat lies about Patel.

Dick Durbin
I just cannot with Dick.
Durbin: Do you think that America is safer because the J6 defendants have been pardoned?
Kash Patel: America is not safe because of President Biden's commutation of a man who murdered two FBI agents.
Durbin: He's 80 years old.
Kash Patel: He killed two FBI agents. That's… pic.twitter.com/dJby3W35OQ

FBI director nominee Kash Patel flipped the script on Sen. Dick Durbin as he attempted to get him to condemn Trump's J6 pardons
"I also believe America is not safer because [of] President Biden's commutation of a man who murdered two FBI agents … It goes both ways," Patel… pic.twitter.com/icmXc2iVoT

Theater
Need more proof these hearings are horse poop? I give you Dick Durbin.
Ranking member of the Judiciary, Senator Dick Durbin, begins his remarks at Kash Patel’s hearing by discussing the unchecked power of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who led the FBI for 48 years.
Durbin says he does not support Patel, stating that he does not have the experience,…

I can’t wait to see how Spartacus Whitehouse embarrasses himself and the state of Rhode Island this morning.
Supposed to be “farticus” Whitehouse.
My spell checker doesn’t think like I do.
Haha! Don’t go taking the Spartacus title for Cory Booker.
How about Spartuchus because he’s a pain in the….
I knew it. He quoted John Bolton as though it was fact.
Nuff said.
I thought his last name was “Whitesonly”. Huh.
And like all these confirmation hearings, it will be an unmissed opportunity for Dem senators to bloviate and expose their own craven stupidity on TV.
Fortunately, they’ve already made up their minds, so its not necessary for the nominees to actually answer questions.
Someone on twitter took the video of Patel entering the Senate chamber and overdubbed ‘Enter the Sandman’ as the video plays. It’s glorious.
Both Kash and Tulsi today: Brace yourself….Democrat screeching in stereo.
another maga clown.
Your President is making the country a better place for you. You should thank him.
lol- – yea it’s like one big klan revival. He ain’r making sh$t better. He’s a moron who never thinks anything through. A VERY shallow thinker who appeals to shallow thinkers.
You can’t possibly be that retarded. Or heck, maybe you can. Nothing surprises me anymore.
“You can’t possibly be that retarded.”
Oh yes he can. Give him another day or so… you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
You actually said that on a thread about a minority being appointed to be head of the FBI. I feel bad for you.
I guess you prefer vegetables.
Or dudes in dresses.
omg- soooo glad the fat draft dodger kicked those trannies out ot the military!!! lol- there must have been ten of them..btw – the scumbag isn’t even eligible to join the military because of his felonies. Pathetic.
He’s also far too old to join. Hahahahaha!
But he’s President so he doesn’t have to join. He commands them all.
If Democrats didn’t want draft dodgers in the White House, they should have said so in ‘92.
Take your ‘L’, pig.
Hey, genius! In 25 words or less, was Tulsi a MAGA clown before the Biden Administration placed her on the TSA high-security travel list, or only after she joined the Re[ublican party?
TJV is just a sexist, racist bigot who doesn’t want minority or female appointees. Shameful, but a typical Democrat.
tulsi gabbard sold out.
Show us on the dolly where the clown touched you.
Hirono is quite the moronic liar with her “when did you stop beating your wife?”
So has she asked her sexual abuse questions yet?
well the moron in cheif is a known sexual abuser as is Hegseth. So that won’t disqualify you from joining this MAGA clown show,
Mary Chastain, please ban tjv1156 and his (or her) IP Address from this site.
for? not drinking MAGA koolaid?
Can you imagine the outrage if a Republican asked a Democrat minority appointee if he sexually assaulted someone? The screams of “Racism!” and “You think all brown people are rapists!” would be heard from orbit.
I have had enough of the Democrats, and I want something done to expose every single Democrat Senator who has actually done the things that they are accusing Trump and his nominees of possibly doing.
I believe that’s what the appointment of Kash Patel might do, amigo. That’s why the full-court press against him is not going to let up.
I love the vision 45-47 presented on Inauguration Day, that the Golden Age of America begins now… but the reality is, what began then will make 2020’s scamdemic and Summer of Love look like child’s play.
With these two hearings going on-Kash and Tulsi, I have postponed delivery of my new hearing aids until Monday. I have already paid for them so the wait won’t matter.
Kinda weird how Dems scream racism if republicans resist a nonwhite person being selected for a position. Here we have the first non white person to ever be selected to run the FBI and the Dems are up in arms against him.
It’s too bad… because if you asked him to define law enforcement officer, criminal, or even the hard one — woman — he could probably do it.
