Booker’s criticism sends Kash Patel into furious meltdown during tense Senate hearing

During a heated Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Cory Booker (D-NJ) accused Kash Patel of making the U.S. “less safe” by diverting seasoned Federal Bureau of Investigation agents from critical terrorism and child trafficking task forces to enforce Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. Patel erupted, yelling that “America is safer because of the work of the FBI” as the two shouted over each other until Chuck Grassley intervened. Booker told Patel he wouldn’t last long in the job, while Patel fired back that Booker’s “time is over.”
