‘Doing the No Pants Dance With a Puppy!’ Charlamagne Blasts Kash Patel Over Bestiality Rule Rollout

Charlamagne Tha God roasted FBI Director Kash Patel for the bizarre moment during Tuesday’s hearing that centered on the agency’s view of bestiality.

Patel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday for the annual hearing on oversight. That hearing went completely off the rails when Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) grilled Patel on his agency’s decision to remove bestiality and prostitution as automatic disqualifiers in the FBI hiring process.

Patel insisted the rule changes were made with human trafficking victims in mind, stating victims were often forced into such sexual practices. In those circumstances, the director said, it would be unfair to disqualify someone who did something against their will.

Former FBI Director Andrew McCabe claimed the rule change made “no sense whatsoever.”

Although Charlamagne agreed with that rationale, he still named Patel as the “Donkey of the Day” on Wednesday’s edition of The Breakfast Club, saying Patel made the wording of the rules too ambiguous which made Tuesday’s wild exchange inevitable.

“So Kash Patel isn’t getting ‘Donkey of the Day’ because he wants to protect victims,” Charlamagne said.

“He’s getting the biggest hee-haw because why in the hell didn’t you just write the policy that way? That’s why they’re calling you incompetent, Kash. You’re the FBI director. Words matter! Words matter with the FBI, period. Definitions matter. Distinctions matter.”

Charlamagne went on to say that “being an FBI agent is all about understanding distinctions” and argued that Patel failed to do exactly that.

“Why are we creating language broad enough that the director of the FBI has to sit before the United States Senate explaining the circumstances under which somebody was doing the no-pants dance with a puppy?” he continued.

“Somebody that was doing the no-pants dance with a puppy might not automatically prevent them from joining the FBI. Why is that a conversation? That’s why people think America is an unserious place.”
