During the confirmation hearing for FBI director nominee Kash Patel, Senate Judiciary Committee member Thom Tillis, R-N.C., introduced a unique element by unveiling a 'K$H BINGO' card. This move came in response to criticism directed at Patel by Ranking Member Richard Durbin for his past comments on Truth Social and in a book where he allegedly created an 'enemies list' that included figures like former FBI Director Robert Mueller III.
Tillis showcased the BINGO card, revealing that he had already marked off four boxes representing buzzwords or topics he anticipated Patel's critics would raise during the hearing. He offered the card to his colleagues on the opposing side of the aisle, describing it as a 'serious caricature' of what he anticipated would unfold during the proceedings.
The BINGO card featured terms such as 'enemies list' and 'deep state,' indicating Tillis' expectations for the hearing. He expressed confidence in potentially achieving a BINGO during the session, attributing this to Democrats who he believed might attempt to validate what he referred to as a 'false narrative' by echoing an 'unfounded litany of half-quotes and half-truths.'
