… Kash Patel’s taxpayer-funded trip to the Olympics has led to widespread condemnation, followed by politicization of the men’s hockey team, as the inebriated FBI Director crashed the locker room after their gold medal game and put Trump on speaker phone, where the president made a denigrating comment about the women’s team as Patel slammed beers and yelled profanities.

… MS NOW: “Kash Patel, during what his spokesman said was an official trip to Milan for security meetings, was filmed guzzling from a beer bottle and celebrating in the locker room with US Olympic hockey players Sunday after they won the gold-medal game.”

… “Several videos emerged on social media showing Patel in the locker room after the game, but one in particular drew outrage from current and former FBI agents. It depicted Patel pouring what appeared to be beer down his throat, spraying some of it in the air and screaming in celebration as a player put a gold medal around his neck. 8 former FBI and DOJ officials said it was drawing outrage as it rocketed around FBI and DOJ circles.”

… Trump on speaker phone to the team: “We’re giving the SOTU speech on Tues night, I can send a military plane if you want to - it’s the biggest speech. The military will get you guys there - you don’t have to worry about the weather. I must tell you, we are going to have to bring the women’s team - you do know that. If I didn’t do that I would probably be impeached.”

… Kash responded: “I got it boss, I’m on it. I’m fucking on it!”

… Trump then posted an AI video on Truth Social which depicted himself playing on the US team, beating up a Canadian player, and scoring the winning goal.

… After the video of him partying went viral, Kash posted this: “For the very concerned media - yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys- Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth.”

… I’m sure they are his “friends” and “invited him” in. Right. I’m sure if he wasn’t FBI Director he would be in there partying with his “friends.”

… Fox: “Speaker Mike Johnson says he expects both the men’s and women’s gold medal winning hockey teams to attend State of the Union tomorrow night.”

… But the women’s team politely declined. A spokesperson for the US women's hockey team said the players are unable to attend "due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments."
