CBS News reports:
A senator at Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing to be F.B.I. director pressed him to articulate a simple truth: Joseph R. Biden won the 2020 election. Under three minutes of questioning from Senator Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat, Mr. Patel conceded only that Mr. Biden was “certified” as the president. “Can you say the words ‘Joe Biden won the 2020 election’?” Mr. Welch asked.
Mr. Patel replied, “Joe Biden was the president of the United States.” Mr. Welch pressed again: “I can say the words ‘Donald Trump won.’ I don’t like to say it. But I must say it. And you cannot say that Joe Biden won the election.” Mr. Patel declined once more. “What I can say is the same for both of them, senator, both of their elections were certified and they both were — one was and one is now president.”
Read the full article. Bondi did the same at her hearing.
Welch: Can you say the words “Joe Biden won the 2020 election?”
Patel: “Joe Biden was president” (again, cannot say the words that Joe Biden won).
Trump’s candidate for FBI director is a dangerous election denier and a conspiracy theorist.

KLOBUCHAR: Have you referred to the media as the most powerful enemy of the US?
PATEL: You’re reading a quote. I take that you’re reading it accurately
K: You said we’re gonna come after the people in the media who helped Joe Biden rig the election
P: That’s a partial statement of what I said
