Former Congressman Devin Nunes characterized Senator Adam Schiff's questioning of FBI director nominee Kash Patel during Thursday's confirmation hearing as an "embarrassment." Patel, nominated by President Trump, clashed with several Democrats, including Schiff, sparking Nunes' criticism on "The Will Cain Show." Nunes suggested Schiff's behavior stemmed from a personal vendetta against Patel, stemming from Patel's role in challenging Schiff's credibility in the past.

Nunes expressed his belief that Schiff's approach will ultimately backfire, alienating even his Democratic colleagues in the Senate. He described Schiff as a "circus" that the House of Representatives was fortunate to lose, but now the Senate has to contend with. Nunes highlighted a specific exchange regarding a song released by January 6th Capitol riot inmates, where Schiff questioned Patel's association with those involved.

Schiff challenged Patel to face the Capitol police officers present and express pride in his actions. Patel refuted Schiff's accusations, denying any support for violence against law enforcement. Nunes condemned Schiff's attempt to "tarnish" Patel's reputation. The hearing also saw Democrats scrutinizing Patel's past statements, including those from his book, "Government Gangsters." Patel denounced what he called "grotesque" attacks against him.

Nunes predicted that Democrats' attacks on Patel, particularly those spearheaded by Schiff, would ultimately prove counterproductive. He concluded by expressing his belief that the Senate, including Democrats, would soon tire of Schiff's tactics and regret his presence in the chamber.
