Bennie Thompson: Pam Bondi ‘Needs to Either Resign or Be Impeached’

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson has sharply criticized Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, demanding that she either resign or face impeachment over her conduct at a recent hearing. In a heated exchange aired on a news segment, Thompson described Bondi's actions as "an absolute embarrassment," accusing her of contributing to the chaotic operation of government under the current administration.

Thompson's remarks came during an interview with Reverend Al, where he addressed a series of mishandlings by federal authorities. He specifically referenced an incident at an airport, where officials sought to shut it down for 10 days without providing real information to the public. "And then when it came out, it was very embarrassing. It was almost like the Keystone Cops have shown up and shown up again," Thompson said, calling for a formal review. He noted that a letter had already been sent requesting such an investigation.

Expressing frustration with the administration's broader approach, Thompson stated, "With this administration, Reverend Al, I’m not surprised at anything they do." He linked the airport fiasco to wider patterns of dysfunction, including efforts to complicate voter registration. Thompson targeted the so-called SAVE Act, labeling it "a new poll tax for people who want to vote in federal elections."

"This administration is hell bent on making voting difficult, but they also are just making running government just chaotic," Thompson asserted. His comments underscore ongoing partisan tensions surrounding election integrity measures and federal oversight.

At the center of Thompson's ire is Pam Bondi's performance at "that hearing," which he deemed unacceptable. "What Pam Bondi did at that hearing is an absolute embarrassment. She needs to either resign or be impeached," he declared unequivocally.

Thompson concluded his remarks with a moral admonition, invoking faith amid the political discord. "But you know, God doesn’t like ugly. And at some point people will have to give account of their actions," he said, emphasizing accountability for those in power.

The exchange, captured in a rush excerpt from Grabien Stories, highlights deepening divides over leadership and governance as Bondi's nomination process continues to draw scrutiny from congressional Democrats.
