Patel goes for the GOTCHA! own the media sick burn but comes off more like a little crybaby who needs a drink [View all]

Kash Patel has broken his silence on a bombshell story about his chaotic leadership of the FBI with a public “memo to the fake news” insisting it doesn’t bother him.

The FBI director, 46, put up a defiant front after multiple sources were quoted by The Atlantic alleging that his erratic behavior within the agency has alienated officials.

“Memo to the fake news - the only time I’ll ever actually be concerned about the hit piece lies you write about me will be when you stop,” he wrote in an X post on Saturday.

“Keep talking, it means I’m doing exactly what I should be doing. And no amount of BS you write will ever deter this FBI from making America safe again and taking down the criminals you love,” he continued.
