FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, made a series of unsubstantiated allegations on Tuesday, suggesting that several top right-wing figures are spies working to undermine the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

A sign of deepening the fractures among MAGA influencers, Wilkins’ claims were threaded across a string of social media posts<\/a> that framed influencers, including Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Michael Flynn, as agents in a Russian-backed plot to bring down Trump. Wilkins also alleged that former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent, who resigned<\/a> over his opposition to Trump’s war with Iran, is involved in the purported scheme.<\/p>\n

I advise you not to break your brain trying to follow the thread’s attempted logic. The most important facts here are that Wilkins has been fighting accusations<\/a> by some right-wing conspiracy theorists that she’s an Israeli spy and that she’s now responding to those claims with spying allegations of her own — or what’s known in foreign intelligence circles as the “I know you are but what am I?” defense.<\/p>\n

The mudslinging highlights growing divisions in the MAGA movement<\/a> over the administration’s support for Israel. And those growing divisions are what have led to the rather childish exchanges such as the one below, in which Owens<\/a> is trying to implicate Wilkins in a conspiracy theory for calling Owens and other MAGA talking heads spies.<\/p>\n

This is one of those random breaks in politics that we all need to just stop and appreciate something objectively hilarious. I therefore implore you to read this thread. The background is that Alexis Wilkins, (Kash Patel’s girlfriend) does not understand why some people think… https:\/\/t.co\/n6zMKXayag<\/a><\/p>\n

Patel has received some fierce rebukes from MAGA influencers since being confirmed to his position. Some of that has been overtly racist<\/a>and some has been rooted in his job performance, such as his handling of the shooting death of Charlie Kirk<\/a>. That has coincided with broader criticism of his costly, taxpayer-funded dalliances with Wilkins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wilkins’ latest dispute with some of the most prominent conservative voices speaks to a level of disunity that’s destabilizing the movement at a truly inopportune time — with the midterms bearing down on a deeply unpopular administration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
