Kash Patel Snaps Back, Shuts Down Dick Durbin’s ‘Gotcha’ Question on J6

Kash Patel just put on a masterclass in how to handle Democrat grandstanding. During his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for the FBI director nomination, Patel made it clear that he’s not here to play nice with Washington’s usual suspects. And boy, did he deliver.

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), always eager to score cheap political points, tried to ambush Patel with a gotcha question about President Trump’s decision to pardon all 1,600 January 6 defendants. He asked if Patel thought America was “safer” now that those individuals were free. Classic Democrat move—focus on J6 while ignoring the daily crime and chaos their soft-on-crime policies unleash on American cities.

But Patel wasn’t having it. He fired back with a brutal reminder of Biden’s own soft spot for criminals—like Leonard Peltier, the man convicted of m**dering two FBI agents at point-blank range. Patel pointed out the hypocrisy: Democrats feign outrage over Trump’s pardons, yet they cheered when Biden commuted the sentence of a cold-blooded k*ller. “I’ve advocated for imprisoning those that cause harm to our law enforcement and civilian communities,” Patel said. “I also believe America is not safer because of President Biden’s commutation of a man who m**dered two FBI agents.”

Durbin, clearly flustered, tried to downplay the comparison. He dismissed Peltier’s crimes, mumbling about how the man had served 45 years and was now 80 years old. But Patel wasn’t about to let that slide. “He k*lled two FBI agents,” he repeated. Boom. End of discussion.

The exchange sent shockwaves through the hearing, but it wasn’t the only moment that had Democrats scrambling. They came in ready to attack Patel with all their favorite buzzwords—“Deep State,” “conspiracy theorist,” “extremist”—but Patel stayed calm, composed, and unshakable. Even establishment Republican Senator James Lankford (R-OK) noted that Patel’s real persona is far from the “cartoon villain” the media makes him out to be. And Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who’s not exactly a MAGA die-hard, was having a blast, reportedly bringing bingo cards to track Democrats’ predictable attacks.

Of course, the leftist media is trying to smear Patel over nonsense, like his charity work protecting whistleblowers and some AI-generated meme he reposted. But the bottom line is this: Kash Patel is exactly the kind of fearless fighter the FBI needs to clean out the corruption. If this hearing proved anything, it’s that he’s got the guts to take on the Deep State—and that’s precisely why the Democrats are terrified of him.
