MSNBC Forced To Issue Retraction After Kash Patel Smear

Meet former FBI Agent Cesare Frank Figliuzzi Jr., better known as just Frank Figliuzzi.

You may not be familiar with him unless you watched Dan Bongino’s old show, where he would routinely clown him.

  • Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers (2024)

Basically, longtime embedded FBI employee who is essentially the antithesis of Kash Patel if I had to summarize it.

You tracking with me?

Anyway, this guy goes on MSDNC on Friday as throws out this (baseless) smear about Kash Patel, saying he’s more visible at nightclubs than he is at the FBI building

Take a look:

Well, it turns out you can’t just say whatever you want and state it as a fact with no basis in reality.

So MSDNC was forced to go on air today and issue this retraction:

MSNBC was forced to make an on-air correction for falsely claiming that FBI Director Kash Patel has “been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover Building”.

What do you think?

Does that wimpy little apology make it all ok?

Does that whitewash everything?
