Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday that the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans shows Kash Patel “should not be confirmed” as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI.
Schiff told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that the terrorist attack “underscores” why it’s important to have an FBI director “that has experience, has judgment, that has character, that will prioritize defending the country against the violence we saw in New Orleans or the violence we saw on Jan. 6.”
Schiff added that the Senate should not confirm “someone whose top priority is political vendettas, who believes in Deep State conspiracy thinking, not someone who is as unqualified as Kash Patel.”
A spokesperson for the Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Schiff’s remarks.
