On Steve Bannon’s podcast, Patel promised journalists who reported, correctly, that Joe Biden had won the 2020 election: “We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly.” And yet, despite the plentiful on-record examples of Patel saying extreme things, he acted during the hearing as if all those comments were being taken out of context or skewed in a way that misrepresented his intent. No moment showed this more clearly than an exchange in which Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin asked Patel about his association with Stew Peters, a far-right podcast host who has described Judaism as a “death cult” and argued that Black people are genetically inferior. Similarly, when asked during the hearing about his association with QAnon, Patel insisted that he had always “publicly rejected outright” the conspiracy theories associated with it. Patel has consistently amplified QAnon material on social media, posted about socializing with prominent QAnon supporters, instigated the creation of a new QAnon hashtag, and even signed his own books with the QAnon slogan “WWG1WGA.” And then again, when asked about his work helping to produce a song by the J6 Prison Choir, Patel insisted that he hadn’t known there were Capitol rioters in the group and that he wasn’t aware of who made the recording.
