FBI Director Kash Patel is in trouble because he did a podcast with his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, right after a shooting at Brown University.
Two students were killed, and nine were hurt.
The shooter is still not caught, and people are mad that Patel was doing a podcast instead of focusing on finding the shooter.
Many people on social media are saying he should be fired because of this.
The FBI has offered a reward for information about the shooter, but some people think Patel is not doing his job well.
FBI Director Kash Patel faced backlash for releasing a podcast with his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, during an active manhunt for the Brown University shooter.
Two students were killed and nine others injured in the shooting, with the shooter still at large as of Tuesday.
The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the shooter.
Critics on social media demanded Patel's ouster, arguing that his actions were inappropriate given the ongoing investigation.
