"These are not gotcha questions, and just deny, please, what you deem to be false. So Dylann Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered nine black parishioners in Charleston in 2015. Do you deny this? Kamlager-Dove said during Wednesday's hearing. I'm sorry. Dylan Ruth? Patel asked. Can you give me some more information? You're head of the FBI, you probably know this. If you don't know, that's fine, Kamlager-Dove responded."
"You can give me a reminder, I've got a lot in front of me, Patel said. It was national news, Kamlager-Dove said, then referencing Robert Bowers, who attacked a Pittsburgh synagogue, killing 11 people. When Kamlager-Dove asked whether Patel denied that the event happened, Patel said he was looking for more information to refresh his memory on Roof. I'm not saying the other thing didn't happen, I'm just asking for a little information, he said."
Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove asked FBI Director Kash Patel whether he denied that Dylann Roof murdered nine Black parishioners in Charleston in 2015. Patel misheard or hesitated, asking "Dylan Ruth?" and requested more information while saying he had a lot in front of him. Kamlager-Dove cited other national attacks, including Robert Bowers at a Pittsburgh synagogue and Patrick Crusius at an El Paso Walmart. Patel said he was looking for more information to refresh his memory and clarified he was not denying other events had occurred. Kamlager-Dove emphasized the incidents had been adjudicated and were not "gotcha" questions.
