Keystone Kash Does Cringe Interview After Bungling Manhunt

FBI Director Kash Patel gushed about making long distance work with his 27-year-old girlfriend in an interview that dropped as the manhunt for a mass shooting suspect stretched into its third day.

Patel has been under scrutiny for his handling of the investigation into Saturday’s shooting at Brown University, which left two students dead and nine injured. He announced that a “person of interest” was in custody, only for authorities to clear the person in question.

As the search for the unidentified shooter passed the 48-hour mark, conservative podcaster Katie Miller, the wife of President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, posted a clip Monday night of Patel discussing his romance with his country singer girlfriend.

It’s not clear when the interview was filmed. Miller posted on Tuesday that it was “taped prior to Sunday,” which was the day after the mass shooting. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The shooting investigation did not come up in the teaser clip shared by Miller.

Instead, the sit-down—which also features Patel’s girlfriend Alexis Wilkins—tackles hard-hitting topics such as when Patel, 45, plans to propose, and why people think Wilkins is an Israeli intelligence agent.

The teaser shows Miller asking Wilkins to clarify if she’s Jewish or from Israel, both of which she responds to in the negative.

“So how did we get to, ‘Are you a Mossad agent?’” Miller asks.

“You know, that’s a great question,” Wilkins replies.

At other points in the interview, Miller turns to Patel and asks, “Where’s her ring?” leading to awkward laughter all around. The couple has been together since January 2023, and Wilkins has been dropping online hints that she’s ready to take the next step.
