FBI Director Kash Patel took a combative approach on Monday when grilled about the firestorm of criticism he’s faced over his social media activity in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Hours after Kirk, 31, was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, Patel wrote on X that the “subject for the horrific shooting… is now in custody,” before posting again
less than two hours later to say the “subject in custody has been
released after an interrogation by law enforcement.”
The suspected
gunman, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was not arrested until Thursday
evening.
“Could I have worded it a little better in the heat of the moment?
Sure,”
---- Patel said during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Monday morning.
“But do I regret putting it out? Absolutely not.”
