You must oppose any effort to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director. His appointment would fundamentally undermine the rule of law and the integrity of our federal institutions.
In addition to opposing his nomination, you need to help the public understand why he's so unqualified. Hold public events with fired prosecutors and FBI agents to highlight their history of crimefighting and what Trump and Patel’s purge will cost Americans. Put a hold on all Justice Department nominations as long as MAGA continues to politicize the DoJ.
Patel has made no secret of his intentions. He has openly declared plans to use the FBI to target journalists, government officials, and nonprofit organizations, saying: “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media.”
The FBI needs better, more unbiased leadership, and Americans deserve that, too. Sadly, Patel plans to transform the FBI into a weapon to use against Donald Trump’s political foes, Democrat and Republican alike.
The FBI needs moral leadership to restore trust while addressing its past and ongoing failures. Kash Patel is clearly not the person to do that. His confirmation would cement the weaponization of our justice system, something no senator—Republican or Democrat—should support.
