MAGAts Tell FBI Director Kash Patel To Go Back Where He Came From After Celebratory Diwali Post - Newsone
FBI Director Kash Patel is finding out the MAGA way that tapdancing for white nationalism by doing things like publicly condemning Assata Shakur and conveniently forgetting who Dylann Roof is will not make white conservatives forget for even a moment that he is an Indian man, and thus, a foreigner.
On Monday, Patel made the simple mistake of thinking it would be OK for him to publicly acknowledge Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights, which is celebrated each autumn by more than a billion people, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists, while being a puppet for arguably the most vehemently xenophobic administration in recent history.
If Patel were as good at knowing his audience as he is at helping the Trump administration pretend Antifa is a real organization, he might have predicted that his simple and harmless Diwali shoutout would result in a mob of Krazed and Klanny Kristians yelling at him to go back to India, get out of my country...."
Maybe Patel was asleep last year, when Vice President JD Vance was compelled to do a weak job of defending his Indian wife and children against the onslaught of racist and xenophobic MAGA attacks that erupted on social media the second he was announced as ...Donald Trumps running mate.
Hey, we live and learn, live and learn.
(Well, at least...
some of us do.)
