On Tuesday, the Senate’s biggest showboat had one of the biggest meltdowns in Senate history during a clash with FBI Director Kash Patel.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for an annual oversight hearing of the FBI on Tuesday morning. He has come under fire for his initial handling of the Kirk assassination by a radical left terrorist.
During the hearing, Senator Cory “Spartacus” Booker (D-NJ) humiliated the entire country after getting called out by Patel for his vicious lies and bullying throughout the hearing, including comments about the firings of compromised FBI agents and immigration.
After getting caught, Booker started screaming like a madman at Patel. The FBI Director, though, held his ground.
WATCH:
HOLY CRAP! Kash Patel just absolutely DESTROYED Cory Booker
KASH: “Your rant of false information does NOT bring this country together. It is MY TIME to address your falsehoods. You are an EMBARRASSMENT to this country.”
BOOKER: *melts down* You don’t tell me my time is… pic.twitter.com/Zpn14pZWiF

PATEL: That rant of false information does not bring this country together (Booker tries to interrupt)… It is my time, not yours.
BOOKER (screaming): My God! My God! My God! Dividing this country? I follow you on your social media account!
PATEL: It is my time to address your falsehoods. You are an embarrassment to this country.
(crosstalk with Booker continuing to yell)
BOOKER: You don’t tell me when my time is! The people of New Jersey tell me what my time is…You can’t lecture me!
PATEL: This is my time. Not yours.
BOOKER: I am not afraid of you!
Booker’s meltdown continued after Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) scolded him for rudely interrupting Patel throughout.
DEMOCRAT SEN. CORY BOOKER MELTS DOWN IN FRONT OF FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL.
Booker wasn’t happy to be told by Patel that it was his time, not Booker’s.

BOOKER: I watched him talk over us and you never once criticized him for us not being able to get our questions asked. He’s been rude and disrespectful to senator after senator!
The exchange between Patel and Booker is a textbook example of this old truism: To anger a conservative, tell him a lie. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.
Once the lies of the left are exposed and they react with fury, conservatives win the argument.
