Among the countless reasons to dislike the Democratic Party is their total lack of a sense of humor.
Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, reposted a hilarious video on Truth Social of him “chainsawing” Trump-deranged politicians and left-wing media.
This meme was picked up by the Senate Judiciary Committee, who say it makes him “dangerous and unqualified” for the position of FBI Director.
“Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s pick for FBI Director, shared an AI-generated video of himself chainsawing Members of Congress, political opponents, and media outlets,” the committee wrote on X.
“Dangerous and disqualified.”

The post was immediately mocked by conservatives and Trump supporters, who pointed to the very obvious fact that it was intended as a joke.
It’s a meme you retards. This is why you lost the election

While the meme was originally posted in 2022, it was later popularized by Argentinian President Javier Milei, who promised to take a “chainsaw” to the government bureaucracy during his successful presidential campaign.

Announcing his nomination last month, Trump said that Patel had a proven record of “exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People.”
“He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution,” President Trump continued.
“This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border.”
Patel’s hearing is currently scheduled for next week. It is currently unclear whether he has the necessary votes for confirmation.
