Summary

Pam Bondi, Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney general, repeatedly avoided confirming Trump lost the 2020 election during her Senate confirmation hearing.

Pressed by Democratic senators, Bondi acknowledged Joe Biden as president but implied 2020 results were fraudulent.

Senators questioned her independence, citing her past claims of election fraud and loyalty to Trump.

Bondi defended controversial figures like Kash Patel for FBI director and refused to rule out prosecuting Trump’s opponents.

Critics warned her appointment could politicize the Justice Department further under Trump’s leadership.

    She will get confirmed and then everyone will feign surprise about how she only does what trump wants.

    The Republican voters will deny that’s what’s happening and claim that it what she wanted and that it was the right choice.

    Me… I’m done listening to confirmation hearings. They’re going to do what ever they want.

    Hell in Minnesota they are currently trying to steal the legislature control. F them all.

    If he won then he is ineligible for a 3rd term.

    What are they gonna do to biden about it even if he did ‘steal’ it? Can’t prosecute a president, right?

      I’m pretty sure he’ll be president until he dies lol. Then we’ll get stuck with one of his kids.

        We’ll end up with Vance who is likely to be much worse because he has some extremely dangerous ideas and lacks Trump’s need to be loved.

    The reason we keep seeing this is because it’s a basic loyalty test for Team Trump. Trump (and company) made the great lie and if you want to be seen as team player than you need to back it too. Gang tactics 101.
