Patel Melts Down After Being Called Out For Perjury

SEN. MADELEINE DEAN: “During your Senate confirmation hearings, you repeatedly denied having any involvement as a private citizen in the firing of FBI officials who engaged in the prosecution against January 6th insurrectionists, the violent rioters who beat and killed Capitol police officers and whom you referred to as political prisoners. Since then, multiple whistleblowers have come forward, and we know that you likely committed perjury. At the same hearing, you claimed you were not familiar with Stew Peters, an anti-Semitic Holocaust denier, despite the fact that you appeared on Mr. Peters’ podcast eight separate times — eight times — and you claimed not to recall. Mr. Patel, my second question is, should we worry more about your memory or your veracity?”

KASH PATEL: “We should worry more about your lack of candor. You’re accusing me of committing perjury. Tell the American people how I broke the law and committed a felony. Have the audacity to actually put the facts forward instead of lying for political banter so you can have a 20-second donation hit.”

DEAN: “The answer is both.”

PATEL: “The answer is you’re failing.”
