FBI director’s girlfriend fires back after Patel’s Olympics partying clip goes viral

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Kash Patel’s girlfriend chastised conservatives for being swept up by the “fake news” over its coverage of Patel celebrating with the USA Men’s Hockey Team in the locker room after the team won gold at the USA Winter Olympics in Italy.

Alexis Wilkins, 27, who has previously found herself in the headlines over her relationship with Patel, briefly addressed the locker room debacle on her podcast.

‘What I will say is the Bureau has long-been in charge of providing security for the Olympics and that’s what was happening,’ Wilkins said.

Footage of the FBI director chugging a beer, spraying the beer and chanting excitedly in the men’s locker room following Team USA’s victory over Team Canada on Sunday went viral on social media and prompted ridicule over Patel’s professionalism and the appearance that he was partying with the Olympians on the tax payer’s dime.

“So I really am not going to dip too much into this, because this is kind of my whole point. But what I will say is the bureau has long been in charge of providing security for the Olympics, and that’s what was happening,” Wilkins said. “So I think that we should be probably more concerned with the fact that, you know, the Democrats were trying to spend millions of dollars to see if mice can be transgender.”

“And the fact that that has stopped, you know, I think that people run things in the media in order to cause outrage,” Wilkins continued. “And I’ve never seen so many conservatives fall victim to the fake news.”

Patel’s presence at USA Men’s Hockey Team comes as the FBI is knee deep in investigations including a gunman being fatally shot and President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago and Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance stretching into its fourth week.

But the FBI shared that Patel’s presence at the Olympics was work-related. The Bureau will also be providing security for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

“Director Patel had highly productive meetings in Italy focused on strengthening joint counterterrorism coordination, transnational crime enforcement, the extradition of high-value targets and Olympic security planning with our closest allies,” FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson said in a statement.

But an itinerary of Patel’s visit to Italy obtained by the New York Times revealed that Patel had more down time to spend watching the Olympics than to actually partake in official duties.
