Who Expected to See This?

It came as a surprise. Followed by another surprise.

Saturday, Trump posted on Truth Social the FBI had placed 274 agents in the crowd on January 6 who were ‘probably acting as agitators and insurrectionists’ – laying the blame for the riot on the FBI.

What happened next was a bigger surprise: The same day, on Fox News, Kash Patel said Trump was wrong – the FBI agents were sent after the riot started. To help stop the rioters.

Two surprises in less than 24 hours: Trump blaming the FBI for the riot – and Kash Patel saying Trump was wrong.

Who’d expected to see that?

It’s a strange world we live in today.
