Trump Nominates Pam Bondi for Attorney General

Well done, Mr. President. Picking Pam Bondi for Attorney General is a grand slam, touchdown, hole in one, ace, hat trick, slam dunk, Olympic gold medal pick.

She will be confirmed quickly because she deserves to be confirmed quickly. https://t.co/gJ9pGUy6QW

Pam Bondi, Trump's new pick for Attorney General, was a registered foreign lobbyist on behalf of Qatar. She received $115,000 a month for her undoubtedly exceptional lobbying services pic.twitter.com/Sqi6fHa8Bx

Something tells me corporate lobbyist Pam Bondi will not be considered as "controversial" as the previous Attorney General nominee.

Pam Bondi says she went multiple times to Israel as Florida Attorney General, including one trip where she was taken to the Golan Heights and claims she looked over the border into Syria and saw an ISIS flag. She was also apparently of the belief that Biden did not support Israel pic.twitter.com/ou60QPXGjU

Imagine my shock upon learning that Trump's new AG pick, Pam Bondi, is a damn anti-2nd Amendment huckster. pic.twitter.com/V1CfOm2W6o

Gaetz was the most pro-consumer, anti-big tech, anti-surveillance, pro-FTC House Republican by far and ofc libs cheer for his removal and we instead get a former Silicon Valley lobbyist for AG. On every corporate power issue at stake Bondi has a less progressive record.

Former Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL), who is Jewish, expressed high praise for Bondi, telling Jewish Insider that “she’s super qualified,” will be “the nicest, kindest attorney general ever” and cares deeply about the Jewish community.

He said that, despite their political differences, “when it comes to the interests of the Jewish community and having an attorney general that will fight for the protection of the Jewish community, we could not do better than Pam Bondi.”

“She is somebody whose heart and soul is sensitive to the interests of the Jewish community,” Wexler said. “I know firsthand that acts of antisemitism pain her. She feels it in her kishkes, the hurt that antisemitism causes, and she will be a vigilant, never-ending fighter to prevent hatred against the Jewish community.”

“I can say that without reservation,” he continued. He said he’s discussed the issue with her many times, including several occasions since Oct. 7.

“There are some people who are cordially empathetic,” Wexler said. “Pam is not one of those. Pam lives and breathes equality and the Jewish community occupies a very close and special place in her heart. That transcends politics.”

He said that Jewish Democrats should “rejoice in her pick… in terms of the interests of the Jewish community.”

Wexler and Bondi are both members of the lobbying firm Ballard Partners.
