Radical Extremist Kash Patel Would Weaponize The FBI To Target Enemies Of Trump, Not Enemies Of America
Radical extremist Kash Patel is a staunch MAGA loyalist who has repeatedly peddled false conspiracy theories and threatened to go after President Trump’s political enemies.
With Kash Patel, President Trump found someone who will use the FBI to target his enemies—and not the enemies of our nation.
Kash Patel has published an enemies list of 60 people he calls “members of the deep state,” all of whom are public servants—both Democrats and Republicans. He has even said he plans to “shut down the FBI Hoover Building on Day 1 and reopen it the next day as a museum of the “deep state” and to target journalists and media professionals.

Don’t just take it from us. Listen to the Republicans who worked with Kash Patel during the first Trump Administration.
- Attorney General Barr: “I categorically opposed making Patel deputy FBI director. I [said] it would happen ‘over my dead body.’ … Patel had virtually no experience that would qualify him to serve at the highest level of the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency.”
- National Security Advisor John Bolton: “I didn’t think he was qualified. He demonstrated no policy aptitude at all. I was forced to hire him.”
- Deputy National Security Advisor Charles Kupperman: “The idea that he is going to become the FBI director is appalling. His legal career is modest at best. His ideas are ludicrous.”
- CIA Director Gina Haspel threatened to resign after President Trump proposed making Patel CIA Deputy Director.
- Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Patel lied about whether Nigeria had approved a hostage rescue operation, putting American lives at risk.
U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement:
“Kash Patel is an extreme MAGA loyalist who would make our country less safe. He is blindly loyal to Donald Trump and Donald Trump only. He has a trail of grievances and history of lashing out at those who don’t agree with him. That’s not the kind of nonpartisan, law enforcement professional who should lead the FBI.”
