MaddowBlog-Kash Patel says attacking the capital attacks 'our way of life,' ignoring other Jan. 6 events

The FBI director appears to have forgotten about the other things that happened on Jan. 6 in the U.S. Capitol, but unfortunately he is not alone.

After federal law enforcement officials arrested Brian Cole Jr., the suspect in the Capitol Hill pipe-bombing case, FBI Director Kash Patel spoke at a press conference and appeared eager to boast about the developments.

Patel on J6 arrest: "When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life."

“When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation’s capital, you attack the very being of our way of life,” the bureau’s director declared. “And this FBI and this Department of Justice stand here to tell you that we will always refute it and combat it.”

Well, maybe not always.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but listening to Patel, it was hard not to think of the Jan. 6 rioters who also attacked “our institutions of legislation” and “our nation’s capital.” If memory serves, they were ultimately rewarded with pardons from Donald Trump — with the support of the president’s appointees at the FBI and the Justice Department.....

These sentiments should apply to Jan. 6, but as far as Team Trump is concerned, they don’t.

So while Patel appe
ars to have conveniently forgotten about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, he has a regrettable amount of company.

Not good to judge someone by their looks, but time has proven Petty Kash IS as stupid as he looks.
