AOC, Other Democratic Leaders Slam Kash Patel’s Behavior as a ‘National Security Threat’ | Video

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democratic members of Congress blasted Kash Patel as a “national security threat” after a bombshell report from The Atlantic detailed the FBI director’s alleged “erratic” behavior. On Monday, AOC, in addition to many of her peers, spoke out against the Trump loyalist and suggested Patel was unfit for his role as head of the FBI. Specifically, when asked point-blank if she felt Patel was a “national security threat,” she responded bluntly, “absolutely.” “I mean, I think we saw after the men’s Olympic hockey championships, the fact that this is a guy who is hurling bottles in his face, up in the air,” she said. “It’s not just embarrassing, it’s a person who’s easily manipulated.” The congresswoman from New York added: “If he’s conducting himself in this compromised way in public — especially in a position like the FBI — when you are acting crazy, you are creating opportunities for blackmail.” Watch her comments below. AOC tells PabloReports that Kash Patel’s behavior is not only embarrassing but could also leave him vulnerable to blackmail from malign actors.

Seth Magaziner (D-RI) also sounded off on Patel following the article. “We had the Brown University shooting a while back,” the congressman told a MeidasTouch reporter in Washington, D.C. on Monday. “When that manhunt was going on for the shooter, Kash Patel tweeted that they got the guy when it was the wrong guy. And he did the same thing after the Charlie Kirk shooting. And that is so dangerous, right? Because if there is a shooter at large … and you have the director of the FBI saying ‘we got him’ when they didn’t, that puts people’s lives in danger. I don’t know if he was drunk when he did those things or not, but I do know that he is unfit for the job.” Magaziner: We had the Brown University shooting a while back. When that manhunt was going on, Kash Patel tweeted that they got the guy when it was the wrong guy.

Eugene Vindman (D-Va.) stated he had “significant concerns about Kash Patel being able to perform his functions,” citing the growing “liquor cabinet” memes tied to Patel and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as a reason. PabloReports: Has Kash Patel’s drinking become a national security threat? Vindman: When the memes and the joke are that Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel are part of the “liquor cabinet,” the answer is yes. He’s supposed to be safeguarding the U.S. I have significant concerns about… pic.twitter.com/Aml5FeqlWC — Acyn (@Acyn) April 20, 2026 Though, Vindman’s peer from Virginia, Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, noted that Patel’s “incompetence” is “more of a national security issue than anything.” He added: “I think his drinking is just the cherry on the top.” PabloReports: Is Kash Patel’s drinking a national security issue? Subramanyam: I think his incompetence is a national security issue. pic.twitter.com/UCCCiPZPIh — Acyn (@Acyn) April 20, 2026 While Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D- Wash.) suggested Patel’s alleged drinking “seem[ed] to be a not very well-kept secret,” Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D- Pa.) noted that in any other administration “the president would demand a resignation or start an investigation.” She added: “We would like to have someone competent … for a change.” PabloReports: Is Kash Patel’s sobriety, or lack thereof, a national security threat? Scanlon: In a normal administration, the president would demand a resignation. We would like to have someone competent for a change. pic.twitter.com/nInIm8Ci3o — Acyn (@Acyn) April 20, 2026 Though, not everyone was jumping on the Patel criticism train, as Rep. Richard Dean McCormick (R- Ga.) defended what the FBI director did in his spare time was his business. “I’ve seen plenty of guys drink and have fun,” the congressman told reporters. “When they are on their spare time, that’s their business. I bet you there are a lot of Americans out there who take offense to that. Does that mean I can’t go party with my friends and then go do my job during the week? I don’t think that’s fair.” McCormick on Kash Patel: I’ve seen plenty of guys drink and have fun. When they are on their spare time, that’s their business.

While Patel slammed the piece as “fake news” and “false reporting,” Fitzpatrick defended on MS NOW Friday: “I am a very careful, very diligent, award-winning investigative reporter with a history of award-winning work across multiple organizations. I stand by every word of this reporting. We have excellent attorneys.” The post AOC, Other Democratic Leaders Slam Kash Patel’s Behavior as a ‘National Security Threat’ | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

Trump’s Explicit Iran Threat on Easter Morning Blasted From Left and Right: ‘Completely Unhinged’

Donald Trump’s explicit Easter morning message to Iran – a direct threat to destroy civilian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t opened by Tuesday – was widely condemned from figures across the political spectrum. Trump is “completely unhinged,” said Pyotr Kurzin, host of “The Global Gambit,” in response to the president’s Sunday post shared on Truth Social. “Why is the commander in chief of the world’s most power military saying ‘praise be to Allah’?” Kurzin wrote. “I don’t care who you are or support. This guy needs to be impeached / removed from office. Trump sounds completely unhinged.” Why is the commander in chief of the worlds most power military saying ‘praise be to allah’?

There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.” The post prompted outrage from all sides. One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war. pic.twitter.com/TTBArqTTyE — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) April 5, 2026 “One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday,” Sen.

Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies,” she added. “Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.” This is what I voted for.

Dr. Oz Shrugs Off Noem and Bondi Oustings, Says He and RFK Jr. Aren’t Worried | Video

Despite the recent shake-ups in the Trump administration, Dr. Mehmet Oz made it clear that he isn’t worried about being removed from his position. During a Friday appearance on Fox News, the former “The Dr. Oz Show” host, who was tapped as administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in Trump’s second term, responded to the oustings of former Attorney General Pam Bondi and former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem this month. When asked by Bret Baier whether others in the administration are now “looking over their shoulder,” Oz said neither he nor Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. secretary of health and human services, is concerned one bit. “I’m not. Secretary Kennedy is not,” he said. “And the president calls me all the time with very precise, well-targeted questions.” As Oz continued, he lobbed quite a bit of praise in the president’s direction, applauding Trump as both an “excellent executive” and a “superb leader.” “All I need to know is that, when I make a tough decision that I know will get some blowback on, but it’s the right decision, the president says ‘Go ahead,'” Oz said. “You know what he usually says? ‘I don’t care what they say. Do what’s best for the American people.'” Watch Oz’s comments below. Baier: You've had Secretary Noem let go of her position, the AG let go of her position… Are people inside the administration looking over their shoulder? Oz: I’m not. Secretary Kennedy is not. The President is an excellent superb leader. When I make a tough decision that I know… pic.twitter.com/oyODLaT1PQ — Acyn (@Acyn) April 3, 2026 In a Thursday Truth Social post, Trump confirmed that Bondi had exited her role as attorney general and would be replaced by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” Trump wrote at the time. “Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.” Trump then took a moment to praise Bondi’s replacement, who he applauded as a “very talented and respected legal mind.” This was the second shake-up to impact the Trump administration, as earlier in March, the president also announced that Noem was departing her role as DHS secretary after a controversial tenure. She was replaced by former Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin. “The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida,” Trump wrote on Truth Social March 5. “I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’” The post Dr. Oz Shrugs Off Noem and Bondi Oustings, Says He and RFK Jr. Aren’t Worried | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

Mark Kelly Says It’s a ‘Good Thing’ Khamenei Is Dead – but Reserves Concerns About Hegseth’s Leadership | Video

Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly agrees it’s a “good thing” Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed Saturday in strikes launched by the United States and Israel, but expressed concerns about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the president’s motivation for military action. While speaking to “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker, Kelly explained of Hegseth, “Well, I didn’t vote for him. And I have previously said and I maintain that he’s the least qualified Secretary of Defense we’ve ever had in our country’s history.” The pair’s conversation began with Khamenei’s death – an outcome that the outspoken critic of the Trump administration agreed was a positive. “I mean, it’s a good thing that the supreme leader is gone and some of the folks around him,” Kelly said. “And I have to give a shout-out to the young men and women of the U.S. military who, you know, by their skill and, you know, focused on the mission and determination and patriotism were able to conduct this operation. So that part’s a good thing.” He continued, “But what I also heard from Lindsey (Graham), and we saw in the president’s tweet earlier today is they’re talking about hope. You know, the president said, ‘hopefully.’ Lindsey a number of times said, ‘We hope.’ Hope is not a strategy. We got to have a plan here. I mean, what is the strategic goal? And how do we achieve it? And my job here in the United States Senate is to make sure that this administration, you know, has a plan and doesn’t put Americans, especially U.S. service members, at further risk.” Kelly also warned it will be “challening” to carry out the Trump administration’s military operation without putting American soldiers on the ground in Iran. Despite claims from Sen. Lindsey Graham that it can be done, Kelly, who served in the Navy, said, “That is incredibly challenging. I mean, for somebody, you know, myself, I’ve, you know, used air power in defense of this country. I flew 39 combat missions. We could take out targets. You could destroy a building. You could even, you know, based on what happened, you know, previously, this summer, you know, you can even hit underground targets. But eliminating things and fully taking out a capability is really challenging without putting people there on the ground.” Welker and Kelly also dove into how long the military operations might last. Trump previously said the U.S. will be involved in Iran “at least a week” and vice president J.D. Vance said before the strike, “There is no chance the U.S. will be drawn into a prolonged war with Iran.” Kelly seemed less optimistic. Welker asked, “Do you accept that? Or do you think it’s possible that this could become a prolonged military engagement, Senator?” “Well, absolutely it could be. And that’s the concern here. And that’s why we need to get back in Washington and have a discussion with the White House on this and have a vote. Hey, you got the president and the vice president saying things that are 180° out, right? On one hand, not going to be prolonged. On the other, it could be a drawn-out conflict. Which one is it? And what is your plan going forward?” he responded. Watch the interview in the video above.

Hollywood Dems Push for Federal Film Tax Credit After Trump Once Again Floats Foreign Movie Tariffs

President Donald Trump is once again floating plans to enact tariffs on films shot outside of the United States, prompting a response from two California Democrats with close ties to Hollywood. California Sen. Adam Schiff, who is based out of Burbank, and Rep. Laura Friedman, who now holds Schiff’s House seat, released statements on Monday calling such tariffs a bad idea while urging Trump and lawmakers to instead get behind a federal film tax credit to provide another layer of financial incentives for productions made in America. “I’m relieved President Trump recognizes that we are losing a signature American product: the domestic film & TV industry. However, his 100% tariff on foreign films will raise costs for consumers,” Friedman said. “As the representative of nearly every major producer in Hollywood and a former film producer, I know what will work, without harming consumers: a national film tax credit. It’s working in California and it will work across the country.” Schiff, who made a name for himself during Trump’s first term as one of his loudest critics, made an appeal for bipartisanship to try to get the tax credit past the conceptual stage. “I strongly support bringing movie-making back to California and the U.S. Congress should pass a bipartisan, globally competitive federal film incentive to bring back production and jobs, rather than levy a tariff that could have unintended and damaging consequences,” he stated. “We have an opportunity to pass a major federal film tax credit. I’m ready to work with this administration and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get it done.” So far, the only federal legislation with regards to film and TV production with any noticeable traction is a bipartisan bill introduced in August to renew Section 181, an addition to the federal tax code introduced in 2004 that allows productions to count the first $15 million in production costs towards tax deductions and would raise that cap to as much as $40 million. But a full federal tax credit passing through Congress seems extremely unlikely at this stage with a government shutdown looming. Democrats are demanding that Republicans agree to healthcare funding extensions in order to sign on to fund government services. As for Trump’s tariffs, his Truth Social announcement of a proposed 100% tariff on “any and all movies that are made outside of the United States” echoes a similar sentiment he shared back in May that led to a discussion of such a move among Hollywood’s studios at a Motion Picture Association meeting. How exactly such a tariff would be implemented on an immaterial good such as films has not been clarified by The White House, whom TheWrap has reached out to for comment. The legality of such a tariff is also unclear as two amendments passed in 1988 and 1994 to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump cites as the basis for his authority to enact sweeping tariffs, explicitly excludes “informational materials” and other forms of media from the president’s tariff authority.
