Patel responds to Olympics backlash, says he was invited to locker room after hockey game

FBI Director Kash Patel dismissed critics of his presence in the locker room during the U.S. men's hockey team's celebration of their gold medal game victory over Canada on Sunday.

Patel, who was in attendance in Milan, Italy, was captured on camera in Team USA's locker room on the final day of the Winter Olympics. At one point, the FBI director drinks a beer and bangs on a table, before forward Matthew Tkachuk drapes his gold medal around Patel and the group loudly sings "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" by the late Toby Keith.
