Kash Patel is a conspiracy theorist. Vote no to his appointment
To: Sen. Romney, Rep. Maloy, Sen. Lee
From: A verified voter in Salt Lake City, UT
December 5
Kash Patel's past actions and statements raise concerns about his ability to lead the FBI in an impartial and lawful manner. His threats against perceived political enemies and promotion of baseless conspiracy theories demonstrate a willingness to abuse the power of federal law enforcement for personal vengeance rather than upholding justice equitably. Patel's three years of Justice Department experience pale in comparison to the complex challenges facing the FBI director. His nomination warrants scrutiny to ensure the bureau remains independent and committed to the rule of law. A request for additional oversight and conditions on Patel's appointment, should he be confirmed, is reasonable to safeguard this vital institution.
