a lot of the backlash against him - and vivek - is agitprop campaign by the left to divide and conquer the right by over emphasizing wedge issues and spamming fake hate spam against all of trump's cabinet picks for x, y, or z reason.  they will go extremely hard against kash patel since he will be in charge of the fbi. kash, tulsi, and pam bondi will be their most targeted trump cabinet picks because they are going to be the three in charge of the fbi/doj/dni
