U.S. Legal professional Normal Pam Bondi appeared on Fox Enterprise Friday to debate President Donald Trump’s Division of Justice and his terrifyingly tough-on-crime plans—and she or he sounded completely unhinged.
First she mentioned her plans to deal with property injury and mass protests held at Tesla places throughout the nation.
“We have people we’re locking up on that. We have someone in jail right now from one of the dealerships, they threw a molotov cocktail through a dealership. They’re looking at up to 20 years in prison. So if you’re gonna touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out, because we’re coming after you. And if you’re funding this, we’re coming after you. We’re going to find out who you are,” she mentioned.
The public anger directed at unelected billionaire Elon Musk’s unlawful affect on the U.S. authorities has fueled a powerful wave of activism.
Equally, Tesla’s gross sales have tanked globally and domestically, main Trump to hawk Musk’s automobiles in an embarrassing infomercial on the White Home.
After promising to show the DOJ into Musk’s personal Pinkerton company, Bondi assured extra sweeping revenge, from immigrants to “cartels.”
“Make America safe again. That’s what we’re going to do. Which is what President Trump has directed us to do since the second he’s been in office, and lock up the violent criminals as long as we can behind bars or seek the death penalty. And that’s what we’ve been doing. You know, we’ve signed death warrants,” Bondi mentioned.
Bondi’s alternative of phrases—whether or not intentional or not—are chilling. Trump has an obsession with routinely threatening to make use of the demise penalty in opposition to anybody he deems “monsters.” In reality, considered one of his first govt orders was a declaration “restoring the death penalty.”
Trump has publicly threatened the prosecution and punishment in opposition to his perceived enemies greater than 100 occasions. Now these bloodlust revenge fantasies are being promoted by his Cupboard on right-wing media, with some even suggesting that his political foes may should die.
