Alexis Wilkins says she has been a political commentator in Donald Trump’s first term as well amid row over her ‘sleeper cells’ comment.
FBI director Kash Patel’s girlfriend Alexis Wilkins pushed back the social media trolling over a recent comment she made on ‘sleeper cells’ preparing to launch attacks in the US. Appearing on One America News, Wilkins spoke about border security after the potential terror attack in Michigan on Halloween weekend. “President Trump’s administration is cleaning up the streets but there are sleeper cells here that are planning these horrible attacks,” Wilkins said criticizing the Joe Biden administration’s border policy. But the comment triggered the old narrative that she was an Israeli spy, now bossing over FBI through Patel. To social media trolls wondering how Kash Patel’s girlfriend got this information about ‘sleeper cells’, Wilkins said apart from being a country musician, she has been a political commentator for a long time, since Donald Trump’s first term. “I’ve been in commentary and op-eds a long time. The Biden admin let terrorists over the border. Some common sense and maybe watching the original video of my news hit (which I did as part of my own job relating to the border) might be helpful before you contribute,” Alexis wrote. The controversy came at a time Kash Patel was caught up in a row over his use of government jets for personal use. Patel reportedly attended a pro-wrestling event in Pennsylvania where Alexis performed on his office plane and then fired a senior FBI official who was in charge of aviation logs. Patel critics who are closely monitoring data of his flight claimed that he blocked public tracking of his flight and he flew from Mar-a-Lago to Nashville again this weekend.
Why Kash Patel is under MAGA attack
Kash Patel’s statement on his girlfriend ruffled many feathers in MAGA fold as they did not expect the FBI chief to issue a statement on his girlfriend, not even his wife. “The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis — a true patriot and the woman I’m proud to call my partner in life — are beyond pathetic. She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes. I’m so blessed she’s in my life. Attacking her isn’t just wrong — it’s cowardly and jeopardizes our safety. My love of family will always be my cornerstone, and you will never tear that down or keep me from them,” Kash Patel wrote.
Who is Kyle Seraphin?
Kyle Seraphin is leading the campaign against Patel and his girlfriend. A former FBI special agent, Kyle was suspended in 2022 and became a podcaster. Alexis Wilkins sued him for calling her an Israeli spy involved in a honeypot operation targeting Kash Patel.
