During an interview on Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) weighed in on Kash Patel's confirmation as FBI director, which cleared its first major hurdle on Thursday when the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Patel to the Senate floor.
Tuberville predicted Patel would get confirmed next week and deemed him "the Democrats' worst nightmare" because "he knows where the bodies are buried."
“Well, it'll probably be next week—we'll have his first vote to get him out of out of cloture and go into the debate," Tuberville outlined. "He's the Democrats’ worst nightmare because he knows what we all know up here—that it's been all corrupt."
"You know, we have to take back our country in terms of the weaponized criminal justice system. We made a good start with Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, all these people that have been put in place. But at the end of the day, it's got to be Kash Patel who's over the country's head police office. And again, Kash has been involved in all of it. He knows where the bodies are buried. The Democrats are scared to death because when he gets in, which he will, he's going to start shaking it all up. We've got some good people, but he's got to take politics out of the FBI, and he's got to put trust back in the FBI for the American people because right now, it is a total disaster up here on the hill and especially in my state of Alabama.”
