Friend,
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee just did the unthinkable: they advanced Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI Director to the full Senate for a vote. A man loyal to Trump – not the rule of law – is now one step closer to leading our nation’s top law enforcement agency.
Let’s be very clear: Kash Patel was nominated to be director of the FBI because of his loyalty to Trump. Patel’s eagerness to purge the FBI of agents unwilling to demonstrate loyalty to Trump’s agenda and to investigate and prosecute Trump’s perceived political enemies is extremely alarming and should disqualify him from this role.
Call your senators today and demand that they OPPOSE Kash Patel as director of the FBI! >>
Even if you’ve already called to oppose Patel, keep calling – especially if you have a Republican senator!
Democratic senators didn’t hold back in calling out their Republican colleagues for advancing such an unfit nominee.
📢 Sen. Amy Klobuchar:
"How can Republican senators vote for an FBI director who says the press is our most dangerous weapon, and not all the foreign terror threats? Can Republican senators be brave enough to tell Trump no?"
📢 Sen. Richard Blumenthal:
"Willful ignorance and support of Kash Patel will turn the FBI […] into a sycophantic goon squad ready to crush political opposition instead of the independent law enforcement agency that the nation needs and deserves."
📢 Sen. Cory Booker:
"FBI agents who protect us are being targeted. I asked Patel if he knew about plans to retaliate, he said no. But now whistleblowers show that Patel not just knew about the purge in advance but directed it."
It’s not just Senate Democrats speaking out against Patel’s nomination – some of Patel’s harshest critics are from other conservative Republicans who previously served alongside him during Trump’s first term!
The Senate could vote as soon as next week! We need an overwhelming outcry to stop this. Call your senators NOW – then call again tomorrow.
Thank you for your advocacy.
