Kash Patel, former President Donald Trump’s Pentagon chief of staff, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Monday slammed President Biden for reversing the Trump administration’s designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization, in the wake of the group’s attack against a U.S. war ship in the Red Sea.
“The Trump administration prioritized designating terrorist groups as terrorist groups, both at the State Department at Treasury and across all other government agencies. And we designated the Houthis as a terrorist group, even though a lot of people in the media were like, ‘Oh you can’t do that, we won’t be able to provide humanitarian aid.'”
“Well, what’s more important than humanitarian aid, unfortunately, is them killing us and preventing that from happening. And we did it. We got it through. … And then, in the first or second month of the Biden administration, they rescinded that designation,” he said.
Patel, who also served as Trump’s deputy director of national intelligence, added:
It just shows you what they think is priority. We just thought differently… . Foreign Terrorist Organizations were Trump’s top priority. We went after them. We killed al Qaeda senior leadership. We wiped out the emir of ISIS, we took out [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force leader Qasem] Soleimani — all of those people were foreign terrorist organizations. We struck Houthi foreign terrorists. We took out al Shabaab [and] Hezbollah leaders.
And I don’t think there’s an appropriate response that Joe Biden can now craft. We are such a weak position that I don’t know if anything short of escalating to a war effort for the United States is something that’s going to help resolve this situation. I’m not saying we should do that.

For $20k I won’t go to Washington DC on J6.
It’s hard to collect your 10% when it’s in a frozen account.
Biden administration has it’s finger prints on every chaos issue that harms the U.S..
And yet, the American people consider him a possible candidate of the next presidency. Perhaps the Americans have become accustomed to a chaotic situation.
I fear a major attack is coming—and it will be invisible—No one to blame for it. Of it will be a false flag to blame Iran or Russia or perhaps Israelis? Only one nation will win in a war with Iran and Russia—China.
Sure looks like it
