Internet can't believe Kash Patel is 5'9'': 'His cute little legs are dangling'

FBI director Kash Patel sat with Fox News' Bret Baier in a one-on-one interview where the Indian-origin top cop laid down the future works of the agency and addressed the criticisms his agency is facing on some specific issues like delaying the release of Epstein's Files, etc. But what intrigued social media was the high chair on which Kash Patel was made to sit from where his legs were dangling and he looked like a tiny figure.

Bret was also sitting on a similar chair but he is definitely taller than Patel, and the Internet was in disbelief that Kash Patel is 5 feet 9 inches tall, as publicly recorded, because he looked nothing like that.

“Serious issues discussed during this segment so I'm sorry, there's nothing funny about FBI Director Kash Patel sitting atop a high chair like a big boy, kicking his feet lackadaisical," Washington Post tech reporter Drew Harwell wrote on BlueSky.

"Look at this DEI 👀 Republicans said they only wanted cops that could carry a grown man over their shoulder. Our top cop, Kash Patel, weighs like 80 lbs," one wrote on X.

Kash Patel seriously took one look at this chair and said "Let's do this"?? 😂 His cute little legs are dangling! Respect though, he needs crazy upper body strength to boost himself way up there. pic.twitter.com/6LNYktF9nB

Grok replied to curious X users that Kash Patel's height is reported as 5'9'' based on information available on social media and Bret Baier's height is 5 feet 11 inches.

"Fox News .... Why did you put Kash Patel in such a high chair? He looks tiny!" one wrote while another conjectured that this can;t be unintentional.

Reddit erupted over theories on why Kash Patel was made to sit in that high chair. Some thought it was to make him look taller while others pointed out that it was because of the height of the chair that he looked so tiny.
