Patel's girlfriend defends his taxpayer-funded beer-swillin' groin-rubbin' chest-thumpin' toxic male tribal ritual [View all]

While taking part in a Q&A on her podcast, country singer Alexis Wilkins was asked what Elon Musk’s DOGE cost-cutting team would make of Patel allegedly using “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in taxpayer money to fly out and drink beer with hockey players in Milan.

“So I really am not going to dip too much into this, because this is kind of my whole point. But what I will say is the bureau has long been in charge of providing security for the Olympics, and that’s what was happening,” Wilkins said.

“So I think that we should be probably more concerned with the fact that, you know, the Democrats were trying to spend millions of dollars to see if mice can be transgender,” Wilkins added, apparently referring to—and completely misinterpreting—federally funded studies on the effects of gender-affirming hormones.

“And the fact that that has stopped, you know, I think that people run things in the media in order to cause outrage. And I’ve never seen so many conservatives fall victim to the fake news.”
