Key Takeaways
- Schiff’s Rant: On MSNBC, Adam Schiff accused FBI Director Kash Patel of being “incompetent” and an “internet troll,” slamming his leadership.
- Draining the Swamp: Schiff complained that Patel is firing entrenched FBI officials tied to Trump investigations—exactly the kind of accountability conservatives have demanded for years.
- Refocusing Priorities: Patel has redirected FBI resources toward border enforcement and immigration raids, proving his commitment to real national security over political witch hunts.
Leave it to Rep. Adam Schiff, the architect of the Russia hoax, to accuse someone else of incompetence. On Tuesday’s MSNBC program All In, Schiff blasted FBI Director Kash Patel, calling him an “incompetent” internet troll. The irony? Patel has done more in a year to clean up the bureau than Schiff has done in his decades on Capitol Hill.
Host Chris Hayes teed up the attack, asking if Schiff trusted the FBI’s counterterrorism operations under Patel. Schiff’s response was dripping with partisan spin: “Not only is Patel incompetent, but he is firing all the competent people.” Schiff alleged Patel removed senior FBI leaders simply for overseeing Trump-related investigations and claimed he diverted agents from cases like sex trafficking and counterterrorism to focus on immigration raids.
Schiff concluded his rant with this jab: “You can take an internet troll and make him FBI director, but he’s still not going to be anything more than an internet troll.”
Let’s be clear: what Schiff calls “firing competent people” is really draining the swamp. Patel is cutting loose partisan bureaucrats who abused their power to go after Trump and other conservatives. Reallocating resources to secure America’s borders is not incompetence—it’s leadership.
While Schiff and his MSNBC friends clutch their pearls, Patel is doing the work of restoring accountability, enforcing the law, and putting American security first. Washington elites may not like it, but Main Street America knows: it’s about time someone cleaned house.
