Video: Kash Patel’s Emotional Swearing-In Includes a Brutal Call-Out of the Fake News Media!
In a moment that electrified conservatives and sent a shiver down the spine of the legacy media, Kash Patel was sworn in as FBI director on Monday, delivering an emotional yet blistering rebuke of the “fake news” outlets that have relentlessly targeted him. The ceremony, broadcast live and captured in a viral video shared by journalist Nick Sortor on X, showcased Patel’s fiery determination to lead the FBI under President Donald Trump’s vision—while calling out the media’s smears with unapologetic clarity.
“You’ve written EVERYTHING you possibly can about me that’s fake, malicious, slanderous, and defamatory. Keep it coming. Bring it on. But leave the men and women of the FBI out of it,” Patel declared, his voice steady but charged with passion. The crowd erupted in applause, and the clip has since gone viral, racking up millions of views on X, where supporters hailed it as a mic-drop moment for the Trump administration.

Patel’s appointment as FBI director marks a seismic shift for an agency long criticized by conservatives for perceived bias during the Biden years, particularly in investigations targeting Trump and his allies, like the Russia probe and Hunter Biden’s laptop saga. As a key national security aide in Trump’s first term, Patel earned a reputation as a truth-teller, pushing to declassify documents that exposed what he calls the deep state’s corruption. Now, as FBI chief, he’s poised to restore the agency’s integrity, focusing on real threats—child predators, border security, and domestic terrorism—rather than political witch hunts.
This call-out isn’t just personal for Patel; it’s a rallying cry for Trump supporters frustrated with years of media defamation. Outlets like CNN and The Washington Post have painted Patel as an extremist, claiming his leadership threatens FBI independence. But for millions of Americans, his words are a long-overdue rebuke of a media machine that peddled lies—whether about Trump, the 2020 election, or now, Patel himself.
The timing couldn’t be more fitting. Just days ago, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warned ICE raid leakers with lie detectors, and DOGE’s Elon Musk exposed millions in Social Security fraud, showing Trump’s commitment to rooting out corruption. Patel’s swearing-in aligns with this agenda, signaling a full-throttle assault on the swamp. His vow to protect FBI agents from media attacks—while inviting more smears against himself—resonates as a badge of honor among conservatives who see him as a warrior for truth.
Critics may cry foul, but the Xosphere’s reaction tells a different story. Posts from @JackPosobiec and @bennyjohnson praised Patel’s “guts” and “patriotism,” with one user writing, “Kash just exposed the fake news for what it is—desperate and defeated.” Trump himself weighed in on Truth Social, calling Patel “a great American who’ll make the FBI great again.”
For Trump supporters, this isn’t just a swearing-in; it’s a declaration of war on the deep state and its media allies. Patel’s emotional, unfiltered call-out isn’t just entertaining—it’s a promise of accountability. As he takes the helm, the fake news better brace for impact.
