FBI Director Kash Patel defended his relationship girlfriend, country music singer Alexis Wilkins, after the pair received online backlash over the weekend.
Patel’s statement followed reports that he used an FBI jet to visit the singer, who sang the national anthem at a wrestling event at Penn State University on Oct. 25.
“The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis — a true patriot and the woman I’m proud to call my partner in life — are beyond pathetic,” Patel wrote on X.
“She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes,” he said. “I’m so blessed she’s in my life.”
Patel added that attacking Wilkins “jeopardizes our safety,” while also criticizing his allies who have kept mum over the controversy.
“To our supposed allies staying silent — your silence is louder than the clickbait haters,” he wrote.
