Take that back! Former Trump Admin member says ADORABLE ragamuffin Kash Patel "won't make it through summer"

A former Trump administration insider on Saturday signaled that a cabinet member facing a rash of controversies could be on his way out.

Miles Taylor, who served as Homeland Security Chief of Staff in the first Trump administration and is now a prominent critic of President Donald Trump, told MS NOW anchor Alex Witt that FBI Director Kash Patel's job could be coming to an end — and suggested it could be soon. He cited reports of Patel's alleged alcohol consumption as something that Trump could ultimately see as reason to dismiss him.

"I think it's remarkable that he's made it this far, genuinely," Taylor said. "And if there's one thing that the president doesn't tolerate, it's excessive drinking."

Patel has not been the only Trump administration official facing claims of alcohol abuse, or other reported scandals, he added. But the circumstances could look different to Trump.
