Both Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are unfit for their nominated office — respectively, FBI director and attorney general. Both are demonstrated liars having endorsed the lie that Trump won the 2020 election. And true to type, Trump previously claimed that Republican Sen. Ted Cruz stole the 2016 Republican Iowa caucus. Neither Patel nor Bondi have exhibited any motivating principles other than subservience to Trump.
Tellingly, many individuals on Patel’s published enemies list are Republican Trump appointees who later criticized Trump and whom Trump now accordingly believes deserve “retribution.” Instead of craven acquiesce our senators should vote against these nominees.
