Pam Bondi’s Nomination To Sparks AG Leftist Panic, MSNBC Analyst Calls Her ‘Dangerous And Effective’
Pam Bondi’s appointment as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney General has sparked heated debate, with MSNBC political analyst Jason Johnson calling her a “dangerous and effective pick” during an appearance on Thursday’s “The Beat With Ari Melber.” Johnson’s comments reflect growing concern among liberals who believe Bondi’s background in immigration enforcement and education law will enable her to aggressively pursue Trump’s controversial agenda.
Johnson expressed fear that Bondi’s legal expertise will make her an effective force in implementing policies that many see as harmful to immigrants and vulnerable communities. “Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear because she’s competent,” Johnson said. “We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job.”
MSNBC is melting down over Pam Bondi as Attorney General:
"We should all fear [her] because she's competent."
"She actually knows how to do this job."
"She knows what she's doing about immigration."
"She is a dangerous and effective pick."

Bondi’s tenure as Florida’s attorney general included a tough stance on immigration, with policies aimed at deporting migrants and curbing benefits for undocumented individuals. Johnson pointed out that her track record in Florida suggests she will aggressively enforce similar policies at the federal level. “She knows what she’s doing about immigration. Florida has been very aggressive about migrants and deportation,” he remarked.
The MSNBC contributor also criticized Bondi’s role in Florida’s educational reforms, which have included measures to limit student protests and restrict the flow of educational funds. Johnson warned that Bondi’s confirmation as Attorney General would likely lead to a nationwide implementation of these types of policies, undermining civil liberties and further entrenching conservative values in the legal system.

Despite the backlash, Trump praised Bondi for her work in fighting drug trafficking and other key issues. Her nomination comes just after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) declined the position, making Bondi the clear choice for the role. As her nomination moves through the Senate, it remains to be seen whether the concerns over her controversial record will impact her confirmation process.
