Kash Patel’s bizarre Senate hearing somehow landed on ‘victims’ of bestiality

FBI director Kash Patel testified to the Senate Tuesday in a hearing that almost immediately descended into discussions about bestiality. Because that’s the world we live in now.

If you’re one of the fortunate souls who remains unfamiliar with Patel, let me fill you in: Trump’s FBI guy has, in the past, floated the idea that Jan. 6 was a Deep State setup, purged thousands of FBI workers after taking up the job, used polygraphs to test the loyalty of officials to the Trump administration, and overseen the detainment and deportation of thousands, the majority of whom have no criminal record. He believes that no media can be trusted, and is currently suing The Atlantic for publishing a highly critical article about him.
