When Balint’s time expired, and the out lawmaker yielded back, Bondi asked for a moment to respond, and used it to go on the offensive: “You didn’t ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein,” she said. Balint shot back: “Weak sauce.”
Bondi then escalated: “And with this anti-Semitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution …”
Balint cut her off: “Oh really? Do you want to go there, attorney general?” she said. “Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust?”
The lawmaker then got up and left the room.
She is just so very smug and arrogant in all of this. Even if she believes in the “cause”, she has to know she is so very full of shit, but she brings her little burn book and tries to distract and delay and scream and snarl and gaslight in these stupid performances.
If there is a common through-line to so many in this administration, it’s that, but Blondi is quite possibly one of the very nastiest.
I think most of America would love to watch her in a real trial where she doesn’t get to pull the shit that she does in these hearings.
