Mediaite reports:
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) got testy with CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan — accusing her of a bias against President-elect Donald Trump.
“He’s got a list he’s published, Kash Patel,” Brennan said. “He published it in a book of enemies Do you take him at his word here that these are an enemies list, and you’re going to put him in a law enforcement role to go after them?”
“I am ready to vote for Kash Patel,” Graham said. “Because you will never ask me the role he played in exposing the darkest moment of the FBI since J. Edgar Hoover. That’s why I trust him. You shouldn’t worry about Kash Patel,” Graham said. “You should worry about reporting the news fairly, which you don’t do when it comes to everything Trump!”
