Kash Patel: Media Darling or Real Crime Fighter? The JFK Question
By Rob McConnell | TWATNews.com | Saturday, September 20, 2025
FBI Director Kash Patel has never met a television camera he didn’t like. From carefully staged press conferences to late-night talk show appearances, Patel has mastered the art of media spectacle. He calls himself a crime fighter, a patriot, and a defender of the Constitution. But if Patel is truly the law-and-order crusader he claims to be, here’s a challenge: why doesn’t he solve the most famous unsolved crime in American history—the assassination of President John F. Kennedy?
A Real Crime, Not a Political Circus
On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, a Democrat and 35th President of the United States, was gunned down in Dallas, Texas. Sixty-two years later, America still doesn’t have a universally accepted answer to the question of who killed JFK—or why.
Instead of turning his “crime-fighting skills” toward this historic case, Patel has spent his time carrying water for Donald Trump, elevating partisan battles, and playing to the MAGA base. The assassination of a sitting U.S. president remains clouded in conspiracy and unanswered questions, yet Patel seems far more interested in chasing the headlines of today’s partisan skirmishes than pursuing truth in America’s darkest moment.
Would Patel Even Try?
Patel’s work ethic, as observed since his rise under Trump, tells us everything. His investigations are selective, guided not by justice but by political convenience. If a crime helps Trump or embarrasses Democrats, Patel is front and center. If it doesn’t serve the Republican narrative, it goes untouched.
Would Patel risk angering his party by reopening the Kennedy case—a Democrat president killed in broad daylight, with possible deep-state or right-wing connections? The answer is obvious. His loyalty is not to the truth but to the Republican machine that elevated him.
The Republican Lens on Justice
It’s worth asking: if JFK had been a Republican, would Patel already be on a grand media tour, vowing to “finally bring closure to America”? Likely so. But Kennedy was a Democrat, and that alone places him outside Patel’s sphere of interest. For all his talk of protecting the Constitution, Patel’s track record shows he protects only one thing—Donald Trump’s narrative.
Conclusion
Kash Patel loves the spotlight, but true crime fighters chase the truth, not the cameras. If Patel wanted to prove he is more than a partisan operator, he could dedicate himself to solving the greatest unsolved crime in American history: who killed John F. Kennedy?
Until then, Patel remains what he has always been—a showman in search of applause, not justice.
