Schumer: ‘Kash Patel Must Resign Immediately,’ If He ‘Wants to Keep Partying, He Can Do It Somewhere Else’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Why is Kash Patel not focused on the serious threats facing his country? Every day, these stories of misconduct persist. They undermine the mission of the FBI. Every day, these questions about Patel, his behavior, his character, linger. They weaken confidence in the leadership of one of the most important law enforcement agencies in the world. Kash Patel must resign immediately. He's not a serious person. He has not shown that he has the skills required for the job. And the last few days have shown he does not have the judgment to lead an agency like the FBI. This is what happens when Trump just chooses acolytes, people who suck up to him, for important jobs. That shouldn't be any criteria in choosing the head of the FBI. But instead, it seems to be Trump's only criteria, and it puts him in trouble. It puts him in the hot seat, in the frying pan, over and over again, by choosing people whose only criteria is loyalty to him. Americans deserve steady, sober leadership from their FBI director, especially during a time of war. Kash Patel is not it. And if Kash Patel wants to keep partying, he can do it somewhere else, without putting the safety of the American people on line.”
