Kash Patel BLATANTLY Lies During FIERY Confirmation Hearing

"President Donald Trump’s pick to run the FBI, Kash Patel, downplayed his past promotion of right-wing conspiracy theories and his pledges to pursue retribution against Trump’s opponents on Thursday at his combative Senate confirmation hearing.

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee tried to pin down Patel over past comments praising the rioters who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, his public courtship of influencers in the QAnon conspiracy movement and his promise to go after current and former Justice Department and FBI officials that he once put on a list of “corrupt actors.”

So far, no Republicans have publicly stated their opposition to Patel’s nomination, and none raised concerns at the hearing. Democratic senators grilled Patel throughout the day, but he claimed they were cherry-picking excerpts of old comments to make him look bad."*

The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

Lying is their go to choice for answering questions. The worst of the worst.

[Dewdrops]

Kash Patel is a liar, he heard the question, he wanted time to form his lie. But this is what America has been dwindled down to, even individuals in media has being bending the knee, even if that means destroying the country.

[pattychestnut]

The Republicans don’t care he lied - for them, it’s part of the job description

[mastadon]

It seems that he has suffered severe brain trauma. That alone should disqualify him for the job.

[professorswaggamuffin]

So embarrassingly sycophantic of him to not even be able to answer if Biden won.

[DKLGalactus]

Why do we as Americans have to accept trumps low scale people to head our great country..

[PhilDean-wl]

Patel is proof positive, we are dealing with Loons, goons, jerks. clowns, and a hell of a lot of pinocchio's !!

[KATELA]

His demeanor and anger towards those questioning him is very telling

[moow]

That guy looks CRaZY . Just look at his eyes!

[lc]

The better follow up question would have been "Have you ever appeared on Stu Peters podcast?"

[ExcelHedge]

6:15 the fact that he refuses to answer the actual question should speak volumes.

[independentmind]

This guy is insane! If he becomes director of the FBI, America is doomed.

[brianoden]

Yep he lied when he said he would shut down the DC HQ then he lied when he denied saying it in the first place.

[spone]

Patel is the perfect looney for Trumps Looney Tunes Administration 😂

[Amir]

Patel was lying his ass off through the confirmation. He couldn't remember anything and didn't answer questions. What a waste of time. This is the trash that's being put up for the FBI Director?

[greatbritton]

What's the point of these hearings??? They literally do nothing.

[mochabrown]

So, what if he is not confirmed? Cannot just say no!!! All these peopl are DEI hires with no experience. These appointees are not based off of MERIT!!!

[bfdzvalable]

Kash Patel BLATANTLY Lies? That means he's qualified and will be confirmed by the braindead senate GOP.
