'Is Patel Going to Cry?': Kash Patel Calls Stephen A. Smith’s NBA Investigation Theory ‘Dumb,’ Then Melts Down Trying to Defend Himself as Stephen A. Hits Back

Stephen A. Smith has had everyone riled up for weeks with his remarks about celebrities and political figures.

His most recent victim, FBI Director Kash Patel , attempted to project authority after launching into an emotional tirade during his Fox News appearance and critics say it proves he’s ill-equipped for the nation’s top law enforcement job.

The outburst came after Smith suggested on ESPN’s “First Take” that last Thursday’s gambling-related arrests of Miami Heat player Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups might represent political payback against sports leagues that have opposed the administration.
