Overall, the hosts of The View were unimpressed by Kash Patel partying with the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. When a video showing the FBI Director celebrating surfaced over the weekend, some suggested it was in poor taste. After all, the FBI investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie is still ongoing.
But host Whoopi Goldberg offered a different perspective, as she often does. She suggested that the FBI sent Patel off to the Winter Olympics simply to get him out of the way.
A viral video of Kash Patel celebrating with the Team USA men’s hockey team caused debate
In the video, the Director is seen celebrating with the team in their locker room following their Gold Medal win. As the party goes on, Patel is shown yelling, waving his arms and guzzling a beer.
“A lot of people are upset and accused him of partying on the taxpayers’ dime,” Whoopi commented. “His spokesperson says he was in Milan on official business … [But aren’t] there more officially pressing business matters to be dealt with here in the states?”
And you can’t expect the Director of the FBI to fly commercial. According to Whoopi, It [costs] about $5,000 per flight hour for the FBI gulfstream to fly … [That means] his trip to Milan is likely costing American taxpayers $75,000.”
Ultimately, Whoopi thought the FBI sent Patel off to Milan “so they don’t have to deal with him,” she said today. “Because they know he doesn’t know what he’s doing. They know that he is incompetent [and he’s] just a joke.”
“He’s a joke to the rest of the world,” she concluded. “For most of the people working in the FBI, it is not a joke. They’re the ones whose eyes are on the ball.”
TELL US – DID YOU FIND PATEL’S PARTYING IN POOR TASTE? DO YOU BELIEVE HE WAS REALLY THERE ON “OFFICIAL BUSINESS?”
