What happened at the confirmation hearing of the US Senate?
Senate MP Kash is questioning Patel, who will lead the FBI. In response to the questions asked by Senator Lindsay Graham whether he has ever faced racism, Patel told the MPs that he had actually been a victim of racism since childhood.
He said, “Unfortunately the senator, yes. I do not want to go into much detail about my family. “
But Patel said that “I was called disgusting – and if I did not say everything properly, I am sorry, but it is in record – a disgusting black man who had no right to live in this country. You should go back where you were, “You are with your terrorist colleagues. This is what I was sent to do. It is a part of it, but it is nothing compared to the men and women engaged in law enforcement every day, ”
