Kash Patel Slammed After Pretending Not to Know Mass Shooter Dylann Roof Who Killed 9 Black People

During a recent congressional hearing, FBI Director Kash Patel seemingly failed to recognize Dylann Roof, a notorious mass murderer. This incident transpired while Patel answered questions from the Senate and House Judiciary Committees regarding his oversight of the investigation into conservative figure Charlie Kirk's tragic death and his management of the Epstein files.When California Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove questioned Patel about Roof’s involvement in the 2015 mass shooting at Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, he appeared confused, mispronouncing Roof’s name and requesting additional information. Kamlager-Dove highlighted the gravity of the historical event, citing the nine lives lost at the hands of Roof, who targeted African-Americans for his attack.Patel's testimony came during turbulent political times sparked by Kirk's murder, which has ignited partisan blame despite the absence of a clear motive. Amid critiques of his statements, Patel defended his actions concerning the Epstein files, asserting that the FBI has shared more information than ever before, per court guidance.
