Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn said during an interview with Fox News that the biggest reason Democrats like Sen. Adam Schiff of California and others \u201cfear\u201d Kash Patel to lead the FBI is because he knows their roles in perpetuating the \u201cRussian collusion\u201d hoax during President Donald Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, too they are very fearful of Kash Patel because Kash Patel knows what Adam Schiff and some of the others did with Russia collusion, and they know that he \u2014 knows the dirt on them, if you will, and I think they\u2019re fearful of what he\u2019s going to do and what he\u2019s going to reveal and what he\u2019s going to make known to the American people,\u201d Blackburn told guest host Charlie Hurt on \u201cFox & Friends\u201d Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they recognize that one thing Kash Patel is very devoted to is bringing transparency to what\u2019s going on in Washington,\u201d Hurt replied, which drew agreement from Blackburn.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo to what degree with RFK Jr.. like Tulsi Gabbard do you think Democrats might hold it against them?\u201d Hurt asked. \u201cBecause I think you\u2019re right. I think that one of the things that really, really enraging them is that these are former Democrats, and they feel like they have to \u2014 I think it just drives them crazy and makes them so mad that these are Democrats who found a way to work on common sense solutions with President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blackburn responded: \u201cYou\u2019re exactly right about that. It does make them angry, and so they\u2019re wanting to punish them and the way they can punish them is to withhold their vote or to slow down their nomination. RFK Jr.. is going to do a great job at HHS and I tell you one thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is going to help us find these 300,000 children. I\u2019ve been trying to find these kids since it was 75,000, and the Biden Administration has never responded to where these children are. RFK is going to get in there. He\u2019s going to rework CMS with Dr. [Mehmet] Oz. He is going to work with [Dr.] Marty Makary to straighten out the FDA. He\u2019s going to work with Dr. [Jay] Bhattacharyaat NIH,\u201d Blackburn said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to see transparency. People want to know what really happened with COVID. I think we\u2019re going to be able to find out what happened,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
