    Is Kash Patel Fit to Lead FBI? Democrats Aren't Buying It Kash Patel's conduct as F. B.

    I. director is a red flag for anyone who cares about professional integrity and effective leadership. When lawmakers grill you over reports of excessive drinking interfering with your work, it's clear the office of the F.

    B. I. director needs someone more serious to hold down the fort.

    Let's talk about the record here: Patel sparred with Senator Van Hollen at a budget hearing where the senator questioned whether Patel ordered polygraphs for employees to find leakers--a move that smacks of paranoia and heavy-handedness. This isn't leadership; it's performance art. Democrats are right to be skeptical, and we shouldn't let this slide into mere partisan bickering.

    While they were tweeting about drinking on the job and dodging questions, we in California were doing: growing our economy, addressing homelessness, and pushing forward on climate action. The future is being built here, not in the past they're trying to drag us back to. California has the 5th largest economy in the world--what's your state got?

    Facts don't care about feelings, and the facts are that we need a director who can handle their job soberly and seriously. So let me ask this: Who's brave enough to defend Kash Patel's conduct as F. B.

    I. director? Anyone?
