FBI Director Kash Patel Sparks Outrage After Celebrating USA’s Ice Hockey Win At Winter Olympics
Video sparks negative response
Despite a few praising the passionate display, many argued that the ‘taxpayer-funded’ trip was probably not the best use of Patel’s time.
Although the price of the vacation remains undisclosed, one person claimed: “Fun Fact: You paid over $400,000 for Kash Patel’s Olympic vacation.”
“Kash Patel took a taxpayer funded vacation to Italy on a private jet to recreate the Drake ‘bro thinks he’s on the team’ meme with Team USA hockey,” another added.
A third said: “Pathetic display of leadership. Trash for wasting our hard-earned money.”
Others took to the comments to remind Patel that Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, is still missing.
“I guess Nancy Guthrie can wait a little longer, this whole administration is useless,” one remarked.
Sarcastically, a second commented: “But they are working hard on the Guthrie case, huh,” alongside a smirk emoji.
Update on disappearance of Nancy Guthrie
The disappearance of Nancy has quickly captured the attention of the entire country.
Savannahhas made a series of heartbreaking public pleas alongside her siblings Cameron and Annie, begging for their mother’s safe return, after she was kidnapped in January.
President Trump deployed some of the FBI’s most skilled officers to assist in the investigation, with Patel personally overseeing the case.
There has been no update from authorities for several days, and the 84-year-old remains missing.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI’s 24-hour command post, which continues to operate around the clock with crisis management experts, analytic support, and investigative teams dedicated to bringing Nancy home.
Patel responds to viral clip
Following the viral footage of Patel at the Olympics, the FBI director has issued a response on X, formerly Twitter.
Addressing the celebrations, he said: “For the very concerned media – yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted gold medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys.
