MSNBC Guest Warns Trump’s New AG Pick Pam Bondi Is ‘Worse’ Than Matt Gaetz: ‘Dangerous AND Effective!’

MSNBC contributor and college professor Jason Johnson warned viewers that President-elect Donald Trump’s replacement Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi would be “worse” than Matt Gaetz because she “dangerous” and “competent.”

Bondi’s nomination followed the abrupt withdrawal of former Florida congressman Gaetz, whose candidacy faced staunch opposition from Senate Republicans over allegations of sexual misconduct.

In contrast to Gaetz, Bondi boasts an extensive background in law enforcement, having previously served as Florida’s attorney general. A staunch Trump ally, she gained national attention for her defense of the former president during his first Senate impeachment trial.

Appearing on The Beat With Ari Melber, Johnson raised the alarm that Bondi was a much more “effective” pick for Trump than Gaetz and that Democrats shouldn’t get too excited about the swap.

Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear, because she is competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job.

So if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that will give us time, no. Pam Bondi knows what she is doing. She knows what she’s doing about immigration.

Remember, Florida is one of those states that’s been very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and everything else like that. Florida has enacted all sorts of rules and laws to curtail students and what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money.

She is a dangerous and effective pick, and that’s, frankly, worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz, even with the deplorable moral background that he has.
