Election Denier Pam Bondi Won't Protect Our Sacred Right To Vote

WATCH: Pam Bondi Peddling 2020 Election Lies, Falsely Declares Pennsylvania for Trump
Bondi: “We are not going anywhere until they declare we won Pennsylvania… we are thrilled to have won Pennsylvania.”
Pam Bondi passed Donald Trump’s loyalty test in plenty of ways, including her early and active role in promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election. She put loyalty to Donald Trump before the Constitution in 2020, and she gives us no reason to believe she won’t do the same in the Attorney General’s office.
On multiple occasions, Pam Bondi has shown a willingness to override the will of the American people at the behest of Donald Trump. In apress conferencethe day after Election Day in 2020, Bondi falsely claimed that President Trump won Pennsylvania (helostby more than 80,000 votes) despite only 87 percent of ballots having been counted.

Two days after Election Day, Pam Bondidid a TV hitonFox & Friendsto double down on her false claims. Shecheered onfederal investigations into false allegations of voter fraud and wasa leaderof the Trump campaign’s attempt to overturn results in Pennsylvania. Since, she has served asa litigation advisorfor the pro-Trump legal organization that brought five election-related lawsuits, including one in Georgia that a Republican judgedismissedand noted it would’ve “silenced” voters.
U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement:
“Pam Bondi has proved herself loyal to Donald Trump and wealthy special interests—and not the American people. Her early and active role in promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election show it. The American people deserve an Attorney General who will protect their right to vote always—not only when it’s convenient or suits your political party.”
