Mother Jones reports:
At her confirmation hearing Wednesday, Pam Bondi probably assured she will become attorney general. She did that, however, by pretending to be an idiot. The former Florida attorney general and lobbyist refused to confirm or deny that Trump lost the 2020 election, declined to oppose pardons for violent January 6 attackers, would not say if she would carry out an illegal order from Trump, and professed ignorance of a wide array of controversial statements by the incoming president.
Does she concur with Trump’s frequent public descriptions of people convicted of attacking Congress on January 6 as “patriots” and “hostages,” asked Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). “I am not familiar with that statement,” Bondi said. Does she agree with Trump’s infamous statement, which echoes rhetoric used by Adolph Hitler, that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country?” Bond said, “I am not familiar with that statement.”
