Social media howls over Kash Patel’s way-too-big chair in interview | EUROtoday

Kash Patel confronted harsed mockery on social media after showing on Fox News Wednesday sitting in a chair that was too huge for the FBI director.

“Fox News …. Why did you put Kash Patel in such a high chair? He looks tiny!” giggled one X consumer .

“No way this wasn’t intentional,” fellow X consumer Evan Kapitansky responded.

“Surely other chairs were available in the building??” mentioned the unique consumer.

“Who thought it was a good idea to put Kash Patel in this chair? He looks ridiculous,” a 3rd critic famous.

Unfortunately, the over-sized chair distracted from the interview. Patel informed Fox News that his company could be clear in its investigation of the assassination try towards President Donald Trump final summer season.

“I don’t know that there’s more to know, but you’re going to know everything we know,” he insisted as he pushed again towards conspiracy theories, and vowed that Americans would study the reality.

“We take assassination attempts, especially of the president of the United States, extremely seriously,” he informed Fox’s Bret Baier. “And we don’t feel that the American people have been given the information they need on that. And we’re digging through the files, and we’re getting them a more robust picture of what happened and whether or not there were any connections.”

There was little deal with social media on Patel’s phrases, and extra emphasis on his stature.

“The optics of Kash Patel seated on a high chair across Bret Baier. How tall is Kash?” one X consumer mentioned. “Kash looks like a kid in a high chair.”

Washington Post tech reporter Drew Harwell wrote on BlueSky: “Serious issues discussed during this segment so I’m sorry, there’s nothing funny about FBI Director Kash Patel sitting atop a high chair like a big boy, kicking his feet lackadaisically.”

Bradford Peterson added: “Whoever did the advance work for this Kash Patel interview is about to find themselves with a one-way ticket to Guantanamo.”

Patel, in the meantime, additionally slammed former FBI Director James Comey, saying, “I won’t be lectured on how to run the FBI by that man.”

The present director went after Comey after he posted an image of seashells on a seaside spelling out the quantity “86 47.” Some have seen the Instagram put up as calling for violence towards Trump, the forty seventh president. However, 86 is normally used as a time period to imply that somebody must be faraway from a bar or a restaurant for misbehaving, or to take away an merchandise from a menu.

Comey has mentioned that to view his Instagram put up as a name for violence towards Trump is “crazy.” He has since deleted the put up. “Even if I think it’s crazy, I don’t want to be associated with violence of any kind,” he mentioned on MSNBC.

Patel claimed on Fox News that Comey’s put up has led to “copycat” threats. He famous that Comey “is a private citizen and he can walk around the beach and talk about seashells and Crayola crayons for all I care about, and talk about how we’re the conspiracy theorists.”

“Do you know how many copycats we’ve had to investigate as a result of that beachside venture from a former director?” Patel requested the Fox News host. “Do you know how many agents I’ve had to take offline from chasing down child sex predators, fentanyl traffickers, terrorists?”

“Everywhere across this country, people are popping up on social media and think that a threat to the life of the president of the United States is a joke, and they can do it because he did it,” he added. “That’s what I’m having to deal with every single day … because he thought it was funny to go out there [and] make a political statement.”
