This guy is going to be nominated to head the FBI.

“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media. Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections – we’re going to come after you,” Patel said on a podcast hosted by another former Trump adviser, Steve Bannon.

“Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice,” Patel added. “We’re actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.”

It’s worth noting that Patel is extreme as people loyal to Trump go — he seems interested in doing Trumps’ bidding, rather than what’s required by law or what’s right.

    Honestly, the journalists who normalized Trump for the last 4 years are responsible for the mess they’re about to be in. Refusing to ask Trump hard questions while making Biden and Harris answer for every rumor pushed by the right.
    I won’t say I’m glad to see it happening, because an attack on journalism and the press is horrifying and carries some huge future implications, but I won’t deny that I feel a bit of schadenfreude about it.
