Senator Ted Cruz recently took to CBS’s “Face The Nation” to endorse Kash Patel as President Trump’s nominee for FBI director, insisting that Patel is the right choice for the job. Cruz highlighted Patel’s robust resume, which boasts a slew of prestigious positions including prosecutor, public defender, and key intelligence roles in both the White House and the Department of Defense. If anyone still doubts the man’s qualifications, it’s time to give them a reality check, because when Trump makes a move, he tends to do it smartly.
Aside from Patel, Cruz expressed confidence in the entire lineup of Cabinet nominees proposed by Trump, asserting that the Senate will confirm each one without a hitch. It’s abundantly clear that the left is already furiously rolling their eyes at the mere thought of a reformer like Patel cleaning house at the FBI, an institution they’ve managed to politicize during the Biden administration. For Cruz, this is more than just political posturing; he genuinely believes that someone with Patel’s background is exactly what the FBI needs after years of backdoor machinations on Capitol Hill and dubious decisions that have eroded public trust.
Kash Patel, President-elect Trump's pick to serve as FBI director, is "a very strong nominee" and will be confirmed by the Senate, says @SenTedCruz (R-TX).

Cruz didn’t shy away from pointing fingers at the current FBI leadership, particularly targeting Christopher Wray. He hinted that either Wray should resign, or he will find himself on the receiving end of a presidential pink slip from Trump. The Senator called out Wray’s poor handling of the bureau, suggesting that it has plunged into a profound crisis of ethics and respect, turning into a weapon against political opponents instead of upholding the law. This is a take that, while predictable from a Republican perspective, carries a stark observation about how the FBI has strayed from its foundational mission under Democratic influence.
The Senator’s critiques aren’t just vague diatribes; he’s hitting the nail on the head about the politicization of the FBI and DOJ. Where the agencies should be bastions of justice and integrity, they’ve been transformed into partisan sellouts pursuing parents at school board meetings and punishing the unvaccinated. Cruz’s observations strike a chord with many Americans who are weary of government institutions being weaponized against its own citizens and political adversaries.
Kash Patel, alongside Pam Bondi, is viewed by Cruz as a powerful duo who will bring the necessary reform back to both the FBI and the DOJ. Cruz firmly believes that under their leadership, integrity will be restored. With Patel’s ascent, there could finally be some hope for restoring the tarnished reputation of the FBI. For those who are tired of politicized agencies running unchecked, this suggestion rings like a clarion call for accountability. The FBI needs more than a rebranding; it needs a complete overhaul, and Cruz is confident that Patel is just the person for the job.
