MAGA Outraged At 'Demon Worshiper' Kash Patel For Being Hindu

In which he learns he belongs to a club that does not want him as a member.



FBI Director Kash Patel has very likely spent the last few years thinking that he was fully accepted by MAGA Americans as one of them. That he’d made it as a member of that club. It probably hadn’t even occurred to him that they might be racist towards him or that they would discriminate against him on the basis of his religion. After all, these were concepts made up by liberals to make Republicans look bad and trick people of color and non-Christians into voting for them. Obviously! That’s why we don’t need DEI anymore.

But, as we probably could have told him, he was wrong. Very, very wrong. Because the whole White Nationalist/Christian Nationalist thing has never actually been the whimsical edgelording that some in the GOP have tried to convince themselves it is, but rather a viewpoint widely shared among their electorate.

On Monday, Patel — who is Hindu — tweeted “Happy Diwali - celebrating the Festival of Lights around the world, as good triumphs over evil,” along with an illustrated “Happy Diwali” card depicting the Ganges river filled with lit candles. An innocuous post for those of us who are not insecure raging bigots.



I don’t know what good triumphing over evil looks like to Kash Patel, but I would argue that it looks nothing like his mentions did after he posted that.

Patel received nearly 3,000 responses, the vast majority of which informed him that it was illegal to be Hindu in the United States, that he should go back to India, and/or that he was a devil worshiper. Nice people! Super nice, tolerant people who definitely will not have to ban teachers of the future from telling the children that anything like this ever happened.

Kash Patel Took $25,000 From Russia-Linked Firm to Appear on an Anti-FBI TV Series

The documentary was produced by a filmmaker tied to Russian propaganda efforts.


by David Corn and Dan Friedman
MotherJones, February 7, 2025

Last year, Kash Patel, the MAGA provocateur whom Donald Trump has nominated to head the FBI, received $25,000 from a Russia-linked production company to participate in a documentary in which he assailed the FBI and called for closing its headquarters.

In November, Tucker Carlson’s online network released a six-part series called All the President’s Men: The Conspiracy Against Trump that purported to chronicle the familiar MAGA conspiracy theory that a Deep State plotted against Donald Trump while he was a presidential candidate in 2016 and when he was president. The fourth episode focused on Patel and his years-long crusade to depict the Trump-Russia scandal—Moscow’s attack on the 2016 election and Donald Trump’s efforts to cover up its existence—as nothing but a total hoax orchestrated by nefarious Democrats and rogue government operatives.

In this film—which credits Patel as an executive producer—he offers a blistering attack on the FBI. He calls it a “corrupt” enterprise and claims it has been on the Democratic Party’s “payroll.” He says, “I’m the guy that’s going to tell you they need major reforms. I’m going to tell you to shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up as a museum of the Deep State the next day. Seriously, you need 50 guys in Washington running the FBI.” He pushes the false claim that the FBI launched its Russia investigation in 2016 on the basis of the infamous and unconfirmed Steele memos. And he insists that the FBI and the rest of the US intelligence community that investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election “knew it didn’t exist.” He also asserts that “globalists” have been working with Al Qaeda to make a profit.

The series was produced for Carlson, who is featured in the final episode, by Global Tree Pictures, a Los Angeles-based firm run by Ukrainian-American-Russian filmmaker Igor Lopatonok. He and Russian-born film director Vera Tomilova, the chief financial officer of Global Tree Pictures, who holds a US green card, are listed in the film’s credits as its producers. Global Tree raised the financing for the series, according to a contract filed in Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy proceedings. (Giuliani also starred in the documentary.)

Not that this should matter in any way, shape or form. After all, the U.S. is supposed to be the "melting pot", so to speak. Then again, we all know that Patel is a creep, but that's not what they're offended by. It's that he's expressing his Hindu background? Naw, no way. Tell me it ain't so. No racism there. None whatsoever. Geez, what doesn't offend these fools?

You will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be in the club. That's not how racist clubs work in America. Some of those racists still think Italians, Greeks, Slavs are less than fully human, and certainly not equal to them. Black guys like Uncle Thomas and Jews like Herr Miller? Forget about it. You're useful pets. But when you're not useful, they'll figuratively, and quite possibly literally, string you up.

All that written history about racism in America....they weren't joking. How do I know? I grew up in the south and met some of those people who today form the magat core. They consider Kash to be a useful, but an insect. And no matter how hard he tries, he'll always be an insect to them.

What do all the POC who are willing to work for this regime expect? They are supporting white Christian nationalists who will turn on them when they outlive their usefulness as mere tools playing out roles in a superficial mockery of multi-cultural tolerance. VP Vance didn't even defend his wife and kids against far right anti-Indian hate-mongers. And when they promote the Bible in schools, will they mandate the burning of all other religious texts like the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist Tripitaka, the Koran of Islam or the Jewish Tanakh?
