During a number of appearances on the War Room podcast of former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, Patel has argued that China is funding the Democrats and that the country is sending “military-aged males” across the northern and southern borders in an attempt to prepare for a preemptive strike. While guest hosting the War Room podcast during Bannon’s stint in prison for contempt of Congress, Patel spoke to a discredited China expert, Gordon Chang, who said that the country was “planning an attack on our facilities on our soil” and that China had managed to install President Joe Biden in the White House. Patel often argues that there’s a “two-tiered system of justice,” meaning that federal law enforcement uses two standards, one for allies of the “deep state” and another for adversaries. Like, who else is going to tell the world what’s going on in Washington or wherever, right?” A Trump transition spokesperson told NBC News that Patel is “going to deliver on President Trump’s mandate to restore integrity to the FBI and return the agency to its core mission of protecting America.”
