BREAKING: Senate Confirms Kash Patel as FBI Director – RINOs Murkowski, Collins Vote “NO” – McConnell Votes “YES”
The Senate will vote to confirm Kash Patel as the next FBI Director on Thursday afternoon at 1:45 pm ET.
Earlier Thursday the Senate broke the filibuster on Kash Patel’s nomination in a 51-47 vote.
The Deep State-media complex is attacking Kash Patel because of his stellar work exposing the Russiagate hoax in an effort to derail his nomination. Patel worked as former House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes’ top deputy and busted the Russiagate story wide open.
A handful of Democrat Senators posted up in front of the FBI headquarters ahead of Kash Patel’s confirmation vote in protest.
