FBIâs Kash Patel Grandstands Shooting Scoop, Senate Facepalm Ensues
In a wild Utah tale, Tyler Robinson stands charged with fatally shooting Charlie Kirk at a local university last weekâa plot twist no one asked for. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel, barely settled in and already barbecued by Senate Democrats, prepares to endure their pity party at 9am ET. His social media grandstanding during the Kirk case turned into a comedy of errors, prematurely crowing on X that the suspect was caughtâspoiler: he wasnât. As if that wasnât enough, Patel's FBI role is under intense scrutiny over Epstein files and suspicious firings accused of political payback. Itâs a political season packed tighter than Utahâs ski lodges.
