Bondi labels Antifa ‘no different’ than MS-13 gang and tells Americans to check with MAGA influencers to back up her claims

‘Talk to all the influencers who have been threatened and beat up and their lives threatened from Antifa members’

Attorney General Pam Bondi asserted Antifa was “no different” from the MS-13 drugs gang, citing the experiences of MAGA influencers to support her claims.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month designating Antifa – a loose grouping of antifascist activists – a “domestic terrorist organization” as he seeks to curb left-wing opposition to his administration. Legal experts warned that the order provided the government with a “permission slip” to target free speech of those he disagrees with.

“It’s organized crime. They are completely organized,” Bondi said of the decentralized movement, speaking on Fox News’s Hannity show Tuesday evening.

Setting aside the fact that Bondi is the U.S. Attorney General, which makes her lying even more appalling, it seems like this level of lying would get an ordinary attorney in trouble.

Do we have no legal ethical standards at all anymore?

Bondi seems to be admitting that she's doing a terrible job, because, according to her, we've got these terrible, awful terrorists out there all over the place. Why isn't she arresting them? We need some "color glossy photographs with circles and arrows." At minimum.

The inconvenient fact she's facing is that she's not going to be able to find any boogie men under the bed. She's going to find, maybe, a half dozen lost head cases who cosplay in ninja costumes to try to get laid by the other cosplayers in ninja costumes.

I wonder how long we Dems are going to let the Republicans get away with having this huge threat out there that never seems to have any names associated with it.
