YES! FINALLY some JUSTICE! Kash Patel is PISSED that "SWAT Team Won't Babysit His Girlfriend At Gig."

What a complete ENTITLED ARROGNA FUCKING ASSHOLE. FUCK him.

Kash Patel, 45, blew up after his taxpayer-funded protection detail ditched his girlfriend at the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Atlanta.

The FBI director assigned an entire SWAT team from the bureau’s Atlanta field office to shadow his 27-year-old girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, at the conference, The New York Times reported Sunday. Both current and former FBI officials told the outlet that Wilkins’ extensive—and unusually frequent—taxpayer-funded SWAT security, including at the conference where she performed the “Star-Spangled Banner,” was “highly unusual.”

“The assignment of SWAT-qualified special agents to guard his girlfriend are indicative of his lack of leadership experience, judgment and humility,” Christopher O’Leary, a former Marine and FBI agent who led a team that conducted “high-risk missions,” told the Times.

SWAT team members left their posts at the April event after determining that Wilkins, a country singer-hopeful, was safe and secure—igniting Patel’s fury.

2. Maybe he really wants them to ensure that she doesn't talk to other guys.

Guys that would most likely be more interesting and attractive than him.

4. I'm thinking about the recent article about Don Jr's girlfriend, and how her "first choice" was Elon Musk

I really do understand the whole "money and power" thing. Reluctantly, but I do understand that.

I still have to wonder how completely devoid of self-respect a woman would need to be in order to BE WITH Kash Patel.

Or Don Jr, or Elon Musk, for that matter.

But hey, their lives, their decisions.

That said, taxpayers should not have to shell out for security for Kash Patel's girlfriend, and taxpayers should not have to shell out for Kash Patel to use the "official FBI jet" to fly to her "shows."

Although it’s hard to fathom how she could possibly be attracted to anybody else.

With a name like Patel, shouldn't ICE have deported him by now?

he'll have to marry her and even then it will be a hard sell.

Looks like he's going to have to hire his own goons.
