Sen. Whitehouse to acting AG Blanche: "How long do you intend to put up with that Kash Patel character?"

Source: Real Clear Politics

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked acting Attorney General Todd Blanche how much longer he will support keeping FBI Director Kash Patel.

"How long do you intend to put up with that Kash Patel character?" he asked. "Are you good with his airplane jaunts? Are you confident he's not drinking on the job? Are you sure none of his travel is a pretext for vacation activities like snorkeling, Olympics, and visiting girlfriends?"

"Are you sure he knows what he's doing? Do you vouch for him? Are you willing to look at whether he lied to this committee?"

"That's an extraordinarily obnoxious question," Blanche said. "And I have full faith in the work he is doing every day."
