Aaron Rodgers appears to call out FBI Director Kash Patel for celebrating with US men's hockey team

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., said Monday that FBI Director Kash Patel ‘does not love America’ when asked about Patel attending the Winter Olympics in Italy and cheering on the U.S. men's hockey team as it won gold after defeating Canada.

Aaron Rodgers appeared to criticize FBI Director Kash Patel for partying with the U.S. men's hockey team in its locker room at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. 

Rodgers did not directly refer to Patel by name or title. 

Rodgers made the apparent reference to Patel during Wednesday's episode of "The Pat McAfee Show" on ESPN while discussing the team and its celebration after beating Team Canada in the gold medal game.
