Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) about how to take on the administrative state, former Pentagon Chief of Staff Kash Patel said “There is no deep state without the fake news mafia.”
Lamenting the fact Americans even have to talk about the reality of a “deep state,” Patel called it something one would normally hear about in “tyrannical dictatorships.”
“This is your mission: the deep state and the media cannot exist if you don’t turn them on,” he continued. “If we don’t band together against the media that is the bigger component of the deep state, it doesn’t matter who the president is.”
Patel and other panelists like former State Department official Amanda Milius and American Greatness writer Julie Kelly agreed the key to reforming the deep state is personnel.
“Personnel is the most important thing,” Milius said. “What you have to do when you come in is you fire an entire room full of bureaucrats.”
