United States FBI Director Kash Patel has defended the bureau’s loosening of hiring requirements regarding prostitution and bestiality, saying the changes were meant to enable victims of those acts to apply for employment without fear of automatic disqualification.
“We did not want to punish victims of bestiality, victims who were trafficked. We did not want to make it an automatic disqualification for the FBI to consider you,” Patel said.
The answer did little to satisfy Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, who grilled Patel on the rationale for a change the FBI director said subordinates proposed to him.
“Why would you even get into bestiality?” Kennedy said.
Patel replied it was a way of supporting victims, and that some people who were “forced into” bestiality should not be disqualified.
“victims of bestiality”? What, were they disqualifying some of the horses?
“If we hire subhuman people, they’ll be cool with doing subhuman things without questioning it”
