Bondi Unleashes on Durbin on National Guard Deployment: ‘Love Chicago As Much As You Hate President Trump’
Description
Attorney General Pam Bondi was on Capitol Hill Tuesday, fending off Senate Democrats and their absurd questions and insinuations. During her appearance, she was a true force of nature. Questions meant to unsettle her became weapons she wielded against her interrogators, leaving Democratic senators scrambling to find solid ground. In that chamber, Bondi didn’t merely defend herself; she reshaped the narrative, turned scrutiny into spectacle, and turned every attack back onto those who dared take aim at her (PJM) including some of the key exchanges).
NPR: “I took office with two main goals: to end the weaponization of justice and return the department to its core mission of fighting violent crime,” Bondi told lawmakers. “While there is more work to do, I believe in eight short months we have made tremendous progress towards those ends” (NPR).
AG Pam Bondi was superb in her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Watch her exchange with the detestable senator from Illinois Dick Durbin.
Preach it, sister.
