Kash Patel defends his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins on social media.
Increased scrutiny has fallen on their relationship after it was revealed that “Ka$h” had used a government plane to go see her perform.
To no one’s surprise, Patel hasn’t handled this well. Over the weekend, he threw a tantrum on social media, accusing critics of attacking his much younger girlfriend.
The plot has been lost. And he has lost the support and respect of avowed conservatives.
DO NOT criticize Alexis Wilkins, Kash Patel’s much younger girlfriend
On Sunday, November 2, Kash Patel tweeted a long rant defending his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins.
It’s a rant that even staunch conservatives who support the regime consider unhinged, unprofessional and, frankly, not to the point.
“The disgustingly baseless attacks on Alexis,” complained Patel, “a true patriot and the woman I am proud to call my partner in life, are beyond pathetic.”
Intended as a compliment, he wrote, “She is a solid conservative and country music sensation.”
Patel then claimed that she is someone “who has done more for this nation than most will do in ten lifetimes.”
“I’m so glad she’s in my life,” Kash Patel wrote about Alexis Wilkins.
“Attacking her is not only wrong,” he said, “it is cowardly and endangers our safety.”
Patel continued his speech, insisting: “My love for family will always be my cornerstone, and you will never tear it down or take me away from them.”
“This FBI and I will stay focused on our mission and continue the reform we promised: rebuilding this Bureau from the ground up,” he added ominously.
Obviously, all of these new employees will have to be purged as the United States begins its long and expensive post-Trump restoration. Even those not imprisoned for their numerous crimes will exist under a cloud of suspicion.
He is very angry
“And to our so-called allies who remain silent,” Patel continued menacingly, “your silence is stronger than that of the clickbait haters.”
This all comes after the scandal in which he allegedly used a government plane to watch Wilkins perform in a wrestling match.
Under normal circumstances, this would be a career-ending scandal for an FBI director. But the deliberate erosion of political norms makes this gross misuse of government resources far less than it should be.
But instead of losing his job, it seems that Patel has gone on a shooting spree within the FBI, including the firing of someone who has been with the Bureau for nearly three decades.
In Trump’s world, blatant and brazen corruption is an expected feature. But even some staunch conservatives find Patel’s outburst embarrassing and inappropriate.
In addition to being an embarrassment to America, Kash Patel’s fiery defense of Alexis Wilkins has done something almost as bad:
Their nonsense has forced us to agree with conservative commentator Candace Owens on something. This is a gloomy day.
“I don’t care about Alexis one way or another,” he said. tweeted with a chilling relationship.
“But I want to point out that the head of the FBI is tweeting in defense of his girlfriend,” Owens said.
“Not a wife, but a girlfriend,” he emphasized. “We’re just not a serious nation at all.”
Yes, this is weird and unprofessional (and he should know better)
Kash Patel stands out from many appointments under Donald Trump’s regime because he arguably has some qualifications for his position as FBI director.
After beginning his career as a public defender, he became a staff member at the Department of Justice in 2012.
As might be expected from a Trump appointee, he got into trouble and made statements about his career that are inconsistent with existing records. He also left the FBI in 2017 to act as a political aid.
But he has real work experience, unlike the FBI deputy director, whose qualification is being a podcaster and conspiracy theorist.
But none of that causes the FBI director (and, for the usual clownish reasons, acting ATF director) to rant in defense of his girlfriend, take dubious flights on a government plane, and then go out of his way to conceal future, more reasonable or professional flights.
We expect this kind of thing, say, from prosecutors appointed by a dumb Trump because he found them cute.
