'Who invited him?' C-SPAN host bewildered as embattled Kash Patel shows up at WHCD

A C-SPAN host was surprised to see FBI Director Kash Patel show up at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and wondered who could have possibly invited him."It looks like Kash Patel is in the ballroom. We do not know who invited him," C-SPAN host Peter Sein said. "You have to be a media organization and a member of the White House Correspondents' Association to have a table."While "celebrities and administration officials" are usually invited by media organizations, Pash showed up as rumors swirl that he's the next on the White House chopping block and could be fired soon. Sein sounded perplexed to see the embattled Trump official dressed up and mingling like a normal guest.HOST: Looks like Kash Patel is in the ballroom.
