Kash Patel's 'work trip' or vacation? FBI chief's Olympic celebration video triggers public outrage

Videos circulating on social media showed Patel in the team's locker room Sunday, enthusiastically drinking beer, spraying drinks and even having a player place a gold medal around his neck as players and staff celebrated a historic win -- the United States' first Olympic men's hockey gold since 1980. Patel later posted on X, "For the very concerned media - yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys- Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth," framing his presence as an honour and an expression of national pride. But his appearance alongside the team has fuelled controversy.
