Bondi Sidesteps Democrats’ Questions During Senate Hearing
Attorney General Pam Bondi sidestepped many questions from Democrats during a combative Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, often instead launching personal attacks on her questioners.
“Senator, I’m not going to discuss that with you.” “Well.” “I’m not going to discuss anything about that with you, Senator.” “Eventually you’re going to have to answer for your conduct in this.” “And instead of preventing partisan weaponization, your department has engaged in a brazenly political prosecution at the president’s explicit direction. Will you support a request so that the committee or indeed, I believe the American people should be able to see that video or audio tape, will you support that request?” “Will you apologize to Donald Trump?” Well, I guess the answer —” “When will it be that the members of this committee, on a bipartisan basis, demand answers to those questions and refuse to accept —” “Clearly, you’re a failed lawyer.” “Excuse me — refuse to accept personal slander.” “I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump. And currently, the National Guard are on the way to Chicago. If you’re not going to protect your citizens, President Trump will.” “I’ve been on this committee for more than 20 years. That’s the kind of testimony you expect from this administration. A simple question as to whether or not they had a legal rationale for deploying National Guard troops becomes grounds for a personal attack. I think it’s a legitimate question. It’s my responsibility.”
