FBI Lambasted on Twitter After Ridiculous Statement on Synagogue Hostage Situation
The FBI has long had its fair share of controversial moments, and the scrutiny the Bureau has received over the course of its history is astounding.
The idea that this is our nation’s most prestigious law enforcement agency is once again coming under attack this week, after a radical-Islamic terrorist took several people hostage in a Texas Synagogue on a Jewish holy day.
That’s when this gem of a statement was made:
“We do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we’re continuing to work to find motive,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno said at a press conference.
This tone-deaf misinterpretation of how hostage situations work, (as the targeting of a synagogue was the leverage not the motive), had Twitter users absolutely blasting the FBI.
The FBI is too busy planning, executing, and covering up crimes to hunt actual terrorists.

True enemies of America are paying close attention to the fact the FBI is hunting down Capitol paraders and DOJ considers Republicans a domestic terror threat. No doubt this radical hostage-taker has been on FBI radar but they are too busy raiding the homes of J6 trespassers.

Is this the same FBI that said the Bernie Bro who shot up the Republican baseball practice just chose a random field and had no political motives whatsoever? https://t.co/t5AyODMPJA

The news will certainly become a part of the national narrative this week, particularly as the January 6th riot cases continue to come to their court-inspired conclusions.
