This is the same FBI that is now overlooking incidents of bestiality in applicants, as of this week.

“I’m trying to understand why you did this,” [Republican Senator John] Kennedy told Patel. “We’re having a tough time attracting agents, good quality agents we all can trust … Why would you even get into bestiality?”

Patel said the change was recommended to him after he saw various “cases” in which qualified FBI applicants were denied consideration because they had been forced into bestiality as a result of human trafficking.

Ngl, I had a very confused hold the fuck up, what the hell are you even saying second there. Apparently I am not alone:

“I say this with respect to the person who recommended it, why didn’t you just say: ‘What planet did you parachute in from?’” Kennedy replied.

And all this in the same week. Coincidence? 🤔

You KNOW you're behaving crazily when even Senator Foghorn Leghorn is dunking on you like that!
