Van Hollen Expects Kash Patel's Alcohol Abuse Test

Sen. Chris Van Hollen issued a public callout to FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday, filling his end of a bargain the pair had made during a tense Senate hearing a day prior to both release their results on an alcohol abuse test.

Comments

Kash will have someone else complete the test for him. If necessary, he'll order someone to provide a urine sample.

Kash Patel playing at sober is the inverse of Dean Martin and Foster Brooks playing drunk. Difference is, they were more convincing and it was joke.

I didn't know Dean Martin was putting on an act until a decade or so ago when I read about it.

Cash isn't acting.
