FBI Director Kash Patel opened up a can of worms with a social media posting referencing Diwali, the Hindu “Festival of Lights” that is celebrated each year by more than a billion people, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists.
“Happy Diwali,” Patel wrote on Twitter/X. “Celebrating the Festival of Lights around the world, as good triumphs over evil.”
According to Wikipedia, Diwali “symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.”
That was all took to enrage the MAGA faithful and other Trump supporters who are opposed to any holiday or celebration that doesn’t fit into their narrow view of the world, so they pitched an online fit, excoriating Patel, with some even demanding he be deported.
