Kash Patel lashes out and defends his right to party with Team USA

Now here's an article I never thought I'd have to write...

FBI Director Kash Patel is under fire for taking a private jet to Milano, Italy to party with Team USA's gold medal winning hockey team this past Sunday... all on the tax payer's dime.

Oh... and while he's meant to be heading up the largest investigation in American history. An investigation that is plagued by allegations of a massive cover up perpetrated by him and other top FBI officials.

Talk about having your priorities in order...

As you might imagine, Patel is under fire from American citizens for his actions, especially after photos and videos leaked from the dressing room show him slamming beers and essentially acting like one of the boys.

Allow me to editorialize for a moment: What a fucking dork.

Okay, back to the facts...

Patel took to social media yesterday to defend his decision to travel and party with the team amidst the largest scandal in FBI and, indeed, American history. Again, keep in mind that this trip cost upwards of $400,000 just for Patel to play make believe and pretend like he's a real life hockey player, just like in his dreams.

Sorry.. I editorialized again. This guy is just such a pipsqueak that I can't help myself.

Patel wrote on social media on Sunday: "Yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys- Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on Earth."

I'll say this... he's got the whole 'greatest sport on Earth' part correct. Patel and I could probably have a beer and talk hockey, so there must be something redeeming about him after all.
