Kash Patel praises 'greatest law enforcement team' after WHCD shooting

newsApr 27, 202627461

Kash Patel praised "the greatest law enforcement team I've ever seen" after a shooter breached security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Witnesses say the shooter advanced past initial checkpoints and was stopped on another floor several stairs away from the president. Critics noted Patel has no law enforcement background and pointed to recent firings of experienced intelligence and security officials under the president. That contrast raises questions about security protocols at presidential events and whether staffing changes have weakened protections.

Kash Patel on Fox & Friends: "First and foremost, I want to remind your audience of President Trump's leadership, literally courage under fire. He's assembled the greatest law enforcement team that I've ever seen."

What a strange, insignificant little man.

"I have to remind you of that, or else I lose my job."

Oof, bad choice of words, little guy.

How do people not just piss themselves laughing at that clown?

Ric Fouad19

These guys beg to differ.

Almightrex18

the guy didn't get onto the same floor

As the author of right-wing fairytales, I wonder how many law-enforcement teams he’s seen.

Liberal Donald J. Trump12

Kash Patel is on TV again polishing boots so hard you can hear it through the screen. “Greatest law enforcement team I’ve ever seen”? Then he needs to see more teams. Calling chaos “courage” and flattery “leadership” is why nobody serious can keep a straight face. SAD!

Jason Nagel11

He's a podcaster. This is the first law enforcement team he's ever seen

“I don’t mean to brag, but I’m literally the greatest ever in the history of everything”

Tempvsfvgit768

These guys are all just entertainers

Sayeth the one about to be fired.

All I saw was the keystone cops in action.

Which others has he seen, and with which eye did he see them?

Janet Weiss6

Tick-tock on Patel getting axed, and then Hegseth. Trump’s regime was tanking before attacking Iran & before Amanda Ungaro added fuel to the Epstein fire. Someone clearly thought ANOTHER faux bang-bang event might be the thing to boost their support. Dopes.

Dona Dickinson5

Yeah we saw the film of Kash just sitting at his table. A real action hero, that one.

UncannyKyle5

And he’s been arrested by a few in his day.

Bad Benny4

The greatest law enforcement team failed to set up metal detectors on a presidential event?

Molly Lyons4

“greatest” has lost its meaning.

Inthemountains4

yeah, his fat ass fell down as soon as he stood up from the table. Taft could have moved more quickly

Courage under fire? The man fell in panic and the gunman wasn’t even close. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/how-...

This would mean something coming from a law enforcement professional. For someone with two alcohol related arrests for most of their experience in that area, not that impressive.

You are still getting the boot, bootlicker.

Patel is a moron, unfit to hold any government office.

🇨🇦🇺🇦🙄Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think hiring those with substance abuse issues in top leadership roles-especially those in terms of national security-is a good thing. Tbh, Kash Patel: You already seemed half in-the-bag after the WHCD incident took place.

Matt Leeds3

@whitehouse.senate.gov predicted that BONDI would be fired. He’s now predicting that Kash Patel will be next! WATCH & LISTEN👇🏻 bsky.app/profile/koja...

Debra Meeks2

Wonder how much he drinks on a day to day basis?

Deborah2

What courage? He was quickly swarmed by armed security, removed from the “danger zone,” and unharmed. That’s not courage; that’s compliance.

AftershaveDave2

Give this guy a towel

jfcortellini.bsky.social2

Also, the ONLY law enforcement team Kash Patel has ever seen, but whatever.

███ACTED2

Never let an assassination attempt go to waste.

Indybhoffman2

If the president's law enforcement team is so great, how did a heavily armed shooter get past them?

Mark S2

Trump has still never been shot and never been shot at.

mgkahb2

when will crazy eyes arrest the Minneapolis murderers?

🌲Harlequin⚓️Forest🌲2

Translation: Please don't 🔥 me, Benevolent One.

TruelyEsoteric2

Is that law enforcement in the room with you, because hahahaha!

Ma Carol2

Literally a terrible law enforcement if they allowed armed people inside the hotel.
