In a recent expose on the FBI under Kash Patel, the New York Times reported that the lawyer-turned-right-wing-podcast-yapper had changed the bureau’s fitness test to emphasize pull-ups over sit-ups. This makes the test more difficult for women and will likely filter out female recruits, despite a lack of evidence suggesting the change was necessary. A source told the Times that the idea had come from deputy director Dan Bongino, a cop-turned-right-wing-podcast-yapper, whose justification for the decision was as follows:
“Bongino said, You can have the best female agent take down the biggest case in our history, but if on the Ring door-camera video she’s out of shape or overweight, that’s going to be the story. He was worried about whether or not they’d look good on a doorbell camera. He said it’s the way these times are.”
