A dialogue at Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing:
Senator Kennedy: My colleague and friend Senator Durbin called you a conspiracy theorist. Do you remember that?
Kash Patel: I do senator.
You were instrumental in revealing that the Trump-Russia election collusion hoax was a hoax, weren’t you?
Yes sir, I was the lead investigator.
Sounds to me like we need to get some new conspiracy theories because all the old ones turned out to be true. Conspiracy theorists are up something like 37-0.
The correct response to anyone calling you “a conspiracy theorist” is “why, thank you!” Because at this point, it’s tantamount to describing you as a modern prophet or the Kwisatz Haderach. And it’s probably a good idea to ask your accuser why they believe being a complicity theorist is preferable to being aware of acknowledging the various conspiracies that obviously exist and are actively conspiring today.
