Rep. Jasmine Crockett: The FBI's Biggest Threat Isn't Crime -- It's Kash Patel - Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett
At today’s Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Jasmine Crockett didn’t hold back on FBI Director Kash Patel.
She laid out the facts: Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history — never having served a single day inside the Bureau before Donald Trump handpicked him. Under his leadership, white supremacy has flourished, resources have been diverted to Trump’s pet projects, and Americans are left less safe.
Rep. Crockett made it plain: the FBI only caught a confessed shooter because his parents turned him in — not because Patel’s Bureau did its job. When HBCUs were threatened with domestic terrorism the next day, silence. When members of Congress faced death threats, silence. When white supremacist violence tore through communities, silence.
This wasn’t just a cross-examination — it was a reality check. Jasmine Crockett called Patel what he is: a failure, unfit to protect the American people, and a political shield for Trump’s extremist agenda.
Congress doesn’t answer to Trump. It answers to the people. And the people deserve better than Kash Patel. - 09/17/2025.
