MAGA influencers and GOP party members turned on Pam Bondi after the Attorney General's embarrassing congressional appearance.
Bondi, who Trump appointed on February 5, 2025, has been criticized by MAGA voters and spokespeople after her display at the Senate hearing over Jeffrey Epstein's files. The Attorney General frequently interrupted questions from the panel and could be seen trying and failing to gain control of the hearing.
Tim Pool, the prominent pro-Donald Trump podcaster, is one of the many vocal MAGA supporters to have turned on Bondi, The Daily Beast reported. He said, "Man, we are a nation of adult children. I think Pam Bondi has done a...I give her more credit than people do. I was about to say that I think she’s done a decent job, but I can’t. It’s just...I can’t say it.
"I think they’ve miserably handled the Epstein files. I don’t think we’re serviced as the American people by this kind of yelling."
White supremacist Nick Fuentes also called for Bondi to go, adding, "Pam Bondi needs to be impeached. You lied about the existence of the files. You lied about unindicted collaborators and accomplices.
"There are people that you acknowledge exist who are likely incriminated in the files that you said did not exist. You lied in the furtherance of a cover-up. Pam Bondi has to be impeached. Kash Patel has to be impeached."
Kyle Rittenhouse also called on Bondi to be removed from her position, adding, "Pam Bondi needs to resign. Harmeet Dhillon for AG!"
Bondi appeared for another combative congressional hearing on Wednesday, but MS NOW's Mika Brzezinski said her pugnacious performance may have backfired.
"I just was watching this all day yesterday and I thought if her goal, as some argue, was to protect the president from some information that might be damaging to him, she did the worst job you could possibly do," Brzezinski said, "because she has just re-energized all the people who might be exhausted at this point, including some of the victims. If anyone was thinking of walking away or thinking, oh my God, I just can't take it anymore – she was infuriating, number one."
Host Joe Scarborough agreed, saying that Bondi clearly appeared to be covering up Trump's alleged ties to Epstein's sex trafficking network.
