Kash Patel confronts Adam Schiff, calling him a fraud during a Senate hearing.
I’ve long been a fan of Kash Patel, and his performance Tuesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing has just been so epic I can’t stop writing about it. Between his one-liner to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and his shouting match with Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), I think I could just watch clips of his testimony all day. And yet, once again, he crushed it in a face off with Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
The two men traded barbs during the hearing, and it culminated in Patel blasting Schiff as “the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate.” The exchange came after Schiff pressed Patel about the Bureau of Prisons’ decision to move a key witness to a minimum-security facility — a transfer Schiff suggested reeked of a cover-up.
Schiff opened the salvo, insisting that the move was suspicious. “You clearly won’t tell us the Cabinet members associated with Mr. Epstein,” he said, then he asked, “Who made that decision and why?” When Patel answered, “The Bureau of Prisons,” Schiff pressed the point — insisting that the bureau acted “without any consultation” and asking, “You want the American people to believe that? Do you think they’re stupid?”
Patel pushed back on Schiff’s premise and then escalated the confrontation, accusing the senator of broader dishonesty.
