MAGA Podcasters Turn on Pam Bondi Over Epstein Hearing Performance
Right-wing podcaster Tim Dillon has launched a scathing attack on Attorney General Pam Bondi following her combative testimony before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. Dillon did not hold back in a recent episode of his show, branding Bondi as "unprepared" and "way in over her head" during the contentious hearing.
Stock Market Deflection Sparks Outrage
During the five-hour hearing, which included several Epstein survivors in attendance, Bondi faced tough questioning from Democrats about the Justice Department's handling of the sex offender's case. However, her response drew particular criticism when she deflected by touting stock market performance.
"The Dow is over $50,000!" Bondi yelled at one point, adding after Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin's shocked laughter, "I don't know why you're laughing! You're a great stock trader, as I hear, Raskin... That's what we should be talking about!"
Dillon's Mocking Critique
Tim Dillon played a clip of this moment for his audience before delivering a blistering critique. "Who cares if we kidnapped their children? What does it matter? The Dow is up!" Dillon mocked. "Who cares if we snatch your kids and took them to an island to abuse them? The Dow is up!"
Dillon continued his sarcastic commentary: "So, what we're part of an ancient blood cult? The Dow is up! So what, we perform sacrifices to deities so that we can have their power? The Dow is up!"
The podcaster specifically targeted Bondi's focus on financial markets rather than the serious allegations at hand. "Do you know what the NASDAQ's doing? The blue chips? The S&P500? Why don't you shut your mouth about the kids that we abducted and sacrificed so we can please Lucifer or Baal?"
Broader Conservative Criticism
Dillon was not alone in his criticism of Bondi's performance. Other conservative voices joined in expressing disappointment with her approach during the hearing.
- Fox News host Lisa Kennedy described Bondi as coming across "like a shrieking Karen"
- Commentator Dana Loesch stated that Bondi "made an a** of herself" during the proceedings
Partisan Clash During Hearing
The hearing quickly descended into partisan conflict, with Bondi displaying fierce loyalty to President Donald Trump while exchanging heated words with Democratic committee members.
"You sit here and you attack the president and I'm not going to have it," Bondi told the committee. "I am not going to put up with it."
Despite opening remarks where Bondi expressed being "deeply sorry" for what Epstein victims had suffered and encouraged them to come forward with information, she refused when pressed by Rep. Pramila Jayapal to turn and face the survivors in the audience to apologize for what Trump's Justice Department had "put them through."
Contentious Exchanges
One particularly fiery exchange occurred when Raskin accused Bondi of refusing to answer his questions, prompting the attorney general to call the top Democrat on the committee a "washed-up loser lawyer — not even a lawyer."
Throughout the hearing, Bondi repeatedly lobbed insults at Democrats while insisting she was not "going to get in the gutter" with them, creating a tense atmosphere that has now drawn criticism from within conservative media circles.
Dillon's broader critique extended beyond Bondi to include FBI Director Kash Patel, suggesting that "they're all unprepared for what is about to happen" regarding the Epstein case developments.
