Pam Bondi is Not Dangerous — She’s Effective

Pam Bondi, age 59, is President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as Attorney General.

Bondi replaces former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his nomination yesterday in the face of strong Senate opposition and numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.

As Florida’s attorney general and top cop between 2011 and 2019, Bondi aggressively and successfully went after human traffickers, drug traffickers, domestic abusers, violent thugs, shysters and scofflaws, and even unscrupulous doctors.

If confirmed by the Senate, Pam Bondi would only be the third woman to oversee the Justice Department.

“There’s no glass ceiling,” Pam’s said. “There’s so many great women in our country who have done so much.”

Bondi has been recognized as a “Lawyer of Distinction” and received the “Women of Excellence in Government” award.

Once asked about her heroes, Bondi pointed to former Attorney General Ed Meese, who served during the Reagan administration. Any conservative who might wonder where Bondi comes down on an issue would be encouraged by considering some of General Meese’s clear and unwavering opinions of late:

Predictably, critics of Bondi’s law and order approach began speaking up yesterday. Dr. Jason Johnson, who is a political analyst with MSNBC, said something revealing when asked about the nomination.

“Pam Bondi is what I said we should fear because she is competent,” he opined. “We may not agree with her ideologically, but she knows how to do this job.”

He continued:

“Pam Bondi knows what she is doing about immigration. Florida is a state very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and things like that. Florida enacted rules and laws to curtail students and what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money. She is a dangerous and effective pick, and that’s frankly worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz even with the deplorable moral background that he has.”

Did you pick up on that? Because she’s competent, because she knows the law – she’s dangerous.

As a longtime prosecutor and serving as Florida’s attorney general, Bondi has opposed the legalization of marijuana.

When she ran for attorney general in 2010, Pam said her goal was to make Florida the safest place to live. The Sunshine State now enjoys a crime rate lower than the national average. In announcing her nomination, President-elect Trump stated, “For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore.”

Back in her dorm room, her state offices, and even on her fridge at home, Bondi hangs a quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

If confirmed by the United States Senate, Pam Bondi will have an opportunity to do just that.

Please pray for Pam Bondi.
