Kash Patel Swerves Jan. 6 FBI Conspiracy Question, Ignoring DOJ’s Own Findings
HuffPost
Patel dodged when Fox News' Maria Bartiromo asked if the FBI "egged people on” during the 2021 riot at the capital.
FBI Director Kash Patel wouldn’t discredit conspiracy theories that his agency incited the January 6 insurrection during an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” this weekend.
Patel stuck to the far-right script, telling host Maria Bartiromo that the Capitol riot had been “politicized” by President Donald Trump’s opponents.
He began by downplaying Trump’s role in the attack, focusing instead on the delayed National Guard response to the mob, which numbered between 2,000 and 2,500 people.
Conveniently missing from Patel’s framing: Trump’s own words at his “Save America” rally, where he urged followers to “walk down to the Capitol” and “demand that Congress do the right thing.”
“We fight like hell,” Trump also said that day. “And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
