Kash Patel, Trump’s pick for FBI Director, is no defender of justice -- he’s a political operative with a vision to dismantle democratic accountability.
In his book Government Gangsters, Patel calls for purging the civil service, eliminating independence in federal agencies, and granting unchecked power to presidents. This isn’t hypothetical. Patel has already acted as Trump’s enforcer, undermining national security to protect Trump’s interests. Imagine the damage he could do with control over the FBI.
If confirmed, Patel will remake the FBI in Trump’s image -- targeting political opponents, shielding allies, and eroding trust in law enforcement. The FBI must remain impartial and committed to the Constitution, not a tool for authoritarian ambitions.
This is a moment of reckoning for democracy. We cannot let Trump’s vision of a weaponized government become reality.
Demand the Senate reject Kash Patel’s nomination now.
Patel’s history of prioritizing loyalty to Trump over the rule of law disqualifies him from leading the FBI. He’s proven he would undermine justice, national security, and public trust in our institutions.
We’ve seen the playbook before -- enemies lists, abuses of power, and the erosion of democratic safeguards. Patel isn’t just a symptom of Trumpism, he’s a key architect of its most dangerous elements.
Now is the time to act. We need leaders in the Senate who will stand up for justice and protect the independence of our institutions. Patel must not be allowed to serve as FBI Director.
Call on your Senators to vote no on Kash Patel’s nomination today.
Together, we can defend the values that make America strong.
