‘I am quoting his own words!’ Dem shouts down Patel over turning FBI into museum

Raw Story  

Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Thursday aggressively grilled Trump FBI director nominee Kash Patel about his past statements about shutting down the FBI's headquarters in Washington D.C. and turned into a museum. During Patel's confirmation hearing, Klobuchar expressed incredulity at the notion that someone who apparently has no respect for the work of the FBI should be put in charge of it. "He is asking to be head of the FBI and he's saying that their headquarters should be shut down!" Patel responded by accusing her of making "false accusations and grotesque mischaracterizations" about his past statements, despite the fact that she had quoted him with complete accuracy.
