FBI director Kash Patel's 'height' memes go viral after interview with Fox News, here's why

Memes targeting the chief of the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Kash Patel, took over social media after he appeared in a recent interview with Fox News. But the reason was not something you might be suspecting. Nothing to do with his work, it was the FBI head's height. Yes, you read that right! Hawk-eyed users on social media platforms pointed out that there was something off with the chair he was seated on as it made him look terribly short. Netizens started to ask how tall Patel, the first-ever Indian-origin FBI director, actually is.

Netizens bewildered
Posting a picture of Patel from the said interview, one user wrote on the social media platform X, "Fox News....Why did you put Kash Patel in such a high chair? He looks tiny!"
Another user wrote on the same platform, "Who thought it was a good idea to put Kash Patel in this chair? He looks ridiculous."
"The optics of Kash Patel seated on a high chair across Bret Baier (Fox News anchor)," a fellow X user said. "How tall is Kash?” they asked.
