Hey Bible boy:

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

Matthew 25:35-36

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

DIVERSION was the PLAN

Pam Bondi brought “attack notes” to the hearing Tuesday.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst captured them in these stunning photos that show her plan the entire time was to try to smear Democratic senators — not provide actual information.

After yelling and obfuscating to senators for hours, Dick Durbin hit Pam Bondi with this one:

“Eventually you are going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will."

Suddenly, she went SILENT. 🔥

She knows. We know.

Pam Bondi did not do her job today.

Public hearings are so “We The People” can learn from the question and answer format...

Bondi refused to answer the questions, she just played a “gotcha game” (and, not very well) at the behest of Trump.
