FBI Director Kash Patel has hit back at the “beyond pathetic” reports that he used a government jet to see his girlfriend perform at a wrestling event, claiming they were an attempt to smear his “rock-solid conservative” partner.
Last week, it emerged that Patel, 45, went to see his girlfriend, 26-year-old country music singer Alexis Wilkins, perform at the Real American Freestyle event at Pennsylvania State University.
Patel has reportedly become so incensed by media stories about the incident that he ousted a senior FBI official who had been at the agency for 27 years, according to Bloomberg Law.
The FBI director took to X on Sunday to voice his frustration at the attention the story received.
“The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis — a true patriot and the woman I’m proud to call my partner in life — are beyond pathetic,” Patel said. “She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes. I’m so blessed she’s in my life.”
Patel claimed that attacks on him and his girlfriend “jeopardizes our safety” and hit out at “supposed allies staying silent” amid the fallout.
He added: “I’ve always said — criticize me all you want. But going after the people doing great work, my personal life, or those around me is a total disgrace.”
Patel did not reference the story, first reported by The Bulwark, that he took a government jet to see his partner perform.
His statement also did not address reports that Steven Palmer, a FBI veteran who oversaw aviation, was forced out following Patel’s anger over the intense media coverage.
Palmer was ousted even though Patel’s flight logs were publicly available, according to Bloomberg, which first reported the news of the veteran federal employee’s departure.

Well, for one thing she's whiter than he is, so that's a plus for him.

"Criticize me all you want" says man, completely unable to handle criticism about his misuse of government funds

Remember when Conservatives were screaming about all the people in the Clinton administration who could get food while at the White House? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Leave the pearl clutching to the conservatives. There is nothing wrong with 2 consenting adults having an unconventional relationship.

And that justified stealing from the US taxpayers, according to them.

Actually, that makes perfect sense from a GQP and MAGA-Base perspective. This is simply standard operating procedure for Oligarchs. And those who bow to them. No shame. No consequences. Nothing. The only time their Base gets upset is when something personally harms them. And even then it's a Liberals fault. Or an "illegal" immigrant's.

Cool story, bro. Now, about that personal use of a government owned airplane...
SpamYarBlockers
Don’t worry they have now blocked that plane’s transponder from FlightAware

That is how denial and projection work. Part of the Republicunt playbook.

Also, Maybe the Epstein files are stored there, in that plane?

I don't give a flying fuck and a rolling donut if she's a conservative! You wasted tens of millions of federal tax dollars to go see a WRESTLING MATCH.

Yikes he's got 20 years on her, like I don't mean to judge, but damn that can't be because of his good looks.

I will be very surprised if this administration, with all the agency heads and cabinet, is not monetized as a reality show at some point. Even if it happens after they're out of power, it will be them as sort of like influencers, and they'll still be going around acting important and shit, but in different places around the country, and the show will be focused on their infighting and whining and tweeting and drama. Watch. This will happen.
KongoOtto
They monetize right now.
rolliefingers
Not enough. It's a goldmine.
hohohoooo
There are more lies, bungling, and fraud in the US cabinet of the rotten pumpkin than in a math exam...
