<p>Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-schmitt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Schmitt</a> (R-MO) used his time during Thursday&#8217;s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to strike up a brief game of &#8220;Would You Rather?&#8221; with Kash Patel, President Donald Trump&#8217;s choice to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).</p>
<p>&#8220;I know Senator Willis has got the game of Bingo, I&#8217;d like to play a different game. Would you rather?&#8221; Schmitt began, prompting a laugh from Patel.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s have at it, sir,&#8221; Patel agreed.</p>
<p>Schmitt repurposed the game, which presents a dilemma in the form of an either-or choice to the player, to address real issues that a potential FBI director might have to assign personnel to investigate.</p>

<p>&mdash; Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) <a href="https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1885030499870978413?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 30, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Would you rather the FBI prosecute and persecute parents who voice legitimate concerns at school board meetings, or should it investigate domestic terrorists who commit school shootings and threaten the lives of American children?&#8221; Schmitt asked.</p>
<p>The Missouri Senator was referencing the FBI&#8217;s investigation of parents — at the direction of President Joe Biden&#8217;s Justice Department — many of whom were attending school board meetings to protest COVID lockdown policies, as well as classroom instruction on radical gender theory and Critical Race Theory that pushed students toward the ideological Left.</p>
<p>&#8220;Absolutely investigate, and prioritize the safety of our children, any real domestic terrorists, as I&#8217;ve prosecuted in my past in the Obama Justice Department,&#8221; Patel replied.</p>
<p>&#8220;Would you rather the FBI be weaponized by investigating presidential candidates, political opponents, spying on and wire-tapping candidates&#8217; advisors, or should the FBI get back to its core mission and get politics out of the FBI?&#8221; Schmitt asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;There should be no politics in the FBI,&#8221; Patel said, adding, &#8220;And having been a victim of the weaponization of law enforcement against me, I know what that feels like.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another of Schmitt&#8217;s questions was equally targeted toward the Biden administration&#8217;s open-border policies, as well as the DOJ&#8217;s attempt to designate traditional Catholics as right-wing religious &#8220;extremists.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Would you rather target traditional Catholics as extremists, or should the FBI focus on investigating actual threats posed to American people by cartels pumping fentanyl into our communities through the southern border?&#8221; Schmitt asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;One hundred thousand deaths due to fentanyl and drug overdoses in one year,&#8221; Patel said. &#8220;I&#8217;d rather the FBI focus on that and save our children.&#8221;</p>
