...because you 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩.
OgreMkV
The GOP has been preaching unconstrained hate and violence for years now... and they are confused that their own party shoots people?
WolvesAreTheBestPeople
Home grown Utah young man.
MrFancyPanzer
"Because we are not like that" says the guy from the only country where mass shootings regularly happens.
Iaimtomisbehave
Charlie was a proponent of "that".
AramilNeogi
Going to correct because truth matters, not because I agree with anything he said, these were his exact words:
"...if this had to happen here, that it wouldn't be one of us. That somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country.."
This is direct from the video of his press conference. Literally replayed it on RoF to make sure I got the words right.

That was an interesting article, Thank you

Well, there you go, Governor Cox. You can't be Mormon and expect God to answer your prayers.

"We're not like this"
Says a country who kidnaps it's own migrants because they're brown.
ZaphodBbx
...and they are *totally* like that.

whis the helium sucking, bug eyed loony behind him.....haaaaahaaaaaa.

conservatism and fascism fails unless there is an out group
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Not the point, but is there a single picture of Kash Patel where he doesn't look like he has an unexpected overdose of something kicking in?
PrincessWasabi
You can tell when he’s sober vs. when high https://images.wsj.net/im-69332650?width=700&height=467
swedeonamoose
"we are not like that" , looks at any number of mass shooters in the US.
DVSBSTrD
These white men are dangerous.
NexusOverlord
Conservatives are ALL like that

maststick
You are literally the only country in the world like that!
dohcohv
3 for 3 attempts by white men on conservative leaders. Both Trump attempts and Kirk. But of course the next time it happens they will still instantly blame every minority.
dextarrogue
And the literal murder of Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their fucking dogs. Or when they broke into Pelosis house and smashed his skull in with a hammer... You know the "non-violent" magats.
psstuphere
Americans gonna american

*Murica
chatawillybilly
Duh. I pray you increase your brain cells to read about mass shootings by Americans. And, Patel's drugs has kicked into high gear.
azazyel
I was praying it'd look like this dude behind me, brown with crazy eyes. Wait he's the real killer, he's resisting!
yn44367
Some context, and I’m not sure if this makes it better or worse, but Spencer Cox is a moderate Republican. Like, bro, this is the middle ground for your party?!?
brazzy42
The quote is altered to make it look worse. Real quote "that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from aanother country". His point wasn't that "only foreigners shoot people" but that "I thought Utahns(?) don't shoot people and it turns out I was wrong".
yn44367
I agree that he was trying to make a nuanced point about who are the perpetrators of violence (hint: it’s us! Not some brown skinned “other”), but the problem with that is playing centrist on gun or political violence is to be purposefully blind. Really guy? You thought we were better? Gun violence and political violence is out of control here, but now you want to wring your hands in surprise that it happened again but this time to one of your talking heads? Pfft. Give me a break.
MarkoffChaney
"Please be foreigner. Please be foreigner. Aww shucks. It was one of us... Again."
brazzy42
Except what he ACTUALLY said is "that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country".
SnorHEEdenRAden
"We are not like that"? Uhhh, are we living in the same country buddy? People get shot for no reason, daily.
MostAwesomeDan
There is literally a 10+ year joke about how this is the only fucking country where this happens. This isn't just us, it's our fuckin brand.
SalmySwims
Kash Patel looking like he's in gd orbit back there.
Maviyakuku
Supersynchronous Graveyard Orbit more like.
OhIfIMust
Sorry to burst your bubble there, bud, but...
Noodlesocks
Dude in the back looks barely functional.
PrincessWasabi
Thats Kash Patel, the FBI director
AskThisGuy
@OP That is not a direct quote. I'm not going to defend the guy but rearranging the words to sound worse is not something we should be doing.
KommanderKayriel
Hard disagree. Taking the moral high ground is what led us to this point. We never fought back, we never got dirty, we never used their own tactics against them. What did we get for it? Jack shit, now the Nazis are taking over and we're sitting here still worrying about optics and political integrity. It's like y'all didn't get the memo. THIS ISN'T ABOUT VIRTUE SIGNALING AND POLITICS ANYMORE. IT'S SURVIVAL.
AskThisGuy
Let me word it a different way, I dont want to be misinformed and reading this, I would have been misinformed on his quote.
AskThisGuy
I dont give a shit about taking any kind of moral high ground. That shit sibling gone.
Its just sloppy work, do better.
TheMoonBnuuy
Meanwhile there's a bunch of chucklefucks protesting "white men fight back, white men fight back" like the white nationalists are trying to start a race war with white people?
nojustsayitdont
Didn't get the memo it was a white dude yet.
Ilikestyx
Patel always looks like he doesn't know what he's doing.
IDontCareAtAllButIShould
It might be because he probably doesn't know what he's doing.
DaveLeche24
He was a podcaster! Of course he knows what he’s doing! 🤣 https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY1YjkxZmJlNWt0YXBnNGx6eWV5MmU2YmdxZnNxZDJkdHNvcGhseDJtZzh4YjVtdSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/iqfYgtx8oWw4o/200w.mp4

Spoilers
StunttheRunt
He looks like Corky Romano when high on cocaine but trying to hide it.
Livetinydienever
Like a toddler that just shit their pants
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
He always looks like someone just stuck a finger in his butt unexpectedly.
boxbackknitties
He looks like he's deciding whether to trust a fart or not.
harmons95sh5772
I think he looks like he decided to trust a fart, let it rip, and is just realizing that he shit his pants 👖 😂
Cactus21
He looks like he’s holding in a big fart and doesn’t know if he can trust it. He’s not sure he’s in the right room and very confused.
invaderjak
the bugged out empty eyes remind me of someone hoping that no one realized they're high
myfirstandlastpostever
But in his head it’s the only way the other republicans don’t realise he’s brown. As soon as that bump wears off, they’ll all turn on him like Donald Pleasance at the end of Invasion of the body snatchers.
swedeonamoose
He looks like he is the bitch boy of everyone else in the room, you could put him in a room with a bunch of girl scouts and he would be the lowest in the pecking order.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Dude's throwing in with white supremacists of course he doesn't know what he's doing.
cgt9803
I'd like to see him pass the drug testing his agents have.
vasquca
To his credit, he solved the case in 33 hours.
KommanderKayriel
Wrong. He turned himself in.
Vempire
The shooter's father called the FBI to turn him in after he admitted to it to him. Patel is an incompetent dipshit who made not one but two public announcements of suspected killers caught who they later released and backtracked on.
Hrafna55
You need a /s on that.
BikeTrailsAndWaggingTails
imo the search would still be going on if the shooter's dad / family member didn't turn him in. so....did patel really "solve" the case?
sauce: https://abcnews.go.com/US/manhunt-charlie-kirks-killer-enters-3rd-day-questions/story?id=125504696
Ilikestyx
A friend of the shooters family called him in, Inspector Patel did nothing but get in the way.
ConsummateConundrum
How to say you're a racist piece-of-shit without actually saying you're a racist piece-of-shit.
PrincessWasabi
Wish he’d turn around lol
brazzy42
Except this is not what he actually said. The real quote: "that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country". Which means the "us" in "one of us" is Utah, not the USA.
AgainstMethod
I mean... he literally is saying it.
brazzy42
No, he's not. The quote is altered. Shame on OP.
Morganelefay
You can just say "I'm a republican" or "I vote republican", this chucklefuck is taking the longer route to get to the same point.
WorkerLurker
Still working to stop people who only vote R because of Lincoln, those ones need to stop burying their heads in the sand.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Literally one of you, a Utah resident white Mormon....
brazzy42
Yes, that's what he is saying.
Paradox1111
Most Cathloic and Protestants do not recognize the Mormons as anything other then a cult
PieMonsterJames
Whoa! To be fair, ex Mormons also consider it a cult.
wejustdontknow
Despite these things almost always being conservative white men, we wanted to think that maybe it wasn't. But it was.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Please note, it is now being claimed he was not a Mormon.... however, all info is subject to change
Hexidimentional
One would hope any religion that proclaims to be a peaceful one would denounce a follower that murders
bippityboppitybuttsex
How could Mormons claim to be 'peaceful'? They literally went to war with the US.
altrdgenetics
Or is that the game they are playing because he wasn't a paying member of the church in good standing so they are saying he isn't one of theirs.
Timeslice
No matter how you slice it, this nerd doesn't have Jesus in his heart.
bippityboppitybuttsex
He 100% has Republican Jesus in his heart.
TheMoonBnuuy
The look of the brown guy behind him like "oh fuck I'm working for a fascist"
GRaffted
"What am I doing here, should have stayed at the club with my gf."
markjaycups0
He IS one of the fascists.
OhIfIMust
Don't worry, he's one of "the good ones."
nojustsayitdont
LOL. Look at his face. Bro has less braincell than an Orange Cat. Useful idiot.
OneMoreLime
He's actually thinking oh fuck I'm gonna get deported because of my incompetence and inability to lead...
snatchingbabies
He looks like they taxidermied him
PrincessWasabi
He looks like he’s tweaking, hard
Banzai51
Well of course he is, he's a fascist too.
KommanderKayriel
That's Kash Patel, he's also a fascist.
TheMoonBnuuy
well shit
Ilikestyx
That's the Director of the FBI......
TheMoonBnuuy
interesting
rowanww822000
A year ago he was a YouTuber, he was hand picked by the trump administration
elusivekarma
He very much chose the fascist side.
OBM1
Indeed. Brilliant exchange. +1
TheMoonBnuuy
Yeah I just didn't recognize him. I more have my ear to the ground than my eyes on the talking heads if that makes sense.
