Rep. Jasmine Crockett closed with a blistering indictment of Pam Bondi: “You will be remembered as one of the worst attorneys general in history — one who chose obstruction over justice, corruption over the law, and loyalty to a president over loyalty to the Constitution.”
WASHINGTON — Rep. Jasmine Crockett Blasts Pam Bondi as “One of the Worst Attorneys General in History” in Fiery Closing Statement
Congressional tensions reached a fever pitch this week as Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) delivered an unfiltered and blistering critique of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of choosing “obstruction over justice”, prioritizing political loyalty over the Constitution, and damaging the legacy of the office she once held.
Speaking on the House floor during a contentious hearing, Crockett didn’t hold back, delivering a searing denunciation that quickly spread across social media and political news outlets.
“You will be remembered as one of the worst attorneys general in history — one who chose obstruction over justice, corruption over the law, and loyalty to a president over loyalty to the Constitution,” Crockett said, her voice firm and unyielding.
A Historic Rebuke
The comments came during a session focused on accountability, ethics, and the role of elected officials in upholding the rule of law. Crockett’s remarks were aimed squarely at Bondi, who served as Florida’s top law enforcement official and later emerged as a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump.
While Republicans defended Bondi as a dedicated public servant and legal professional, Crockett portrayed her actions as emblematic of a broader pattern of political interference.
“An attorney general is supposed to be the people’s lawyer — not a shield for political allies,” Crockett continued. “When the law becomes a weapon to protect power instead of a safeguard for justice, we lose more than cases — we lose faith in our institutions.”
Partisan Clash Erupts
Bondi, who was present in the chamber for portions of the hearing, declined to respond directly to Crockett’s comments. Republican lawmakers, however, swiftly pushed back, accusing Crockett of grandstanding and politicizing what they framed as routine oversight.
“This type of rhetoric does nothing to advance meaningful dialogue,” one Republican representative said afterward. “We should be focused on facts — not personal attacks.”
But for Crockett and her supporters, the broader message was clear: accountability matters — and public officials should be judged not only by their legal credentials, but by whether they stand up for constitutional principles when it counts most.
Political Fallout and Reactions
The exchange quickly ignited a wave of reactions from political audiences online. Supporters of Crockett praised her for speaking out forcefully, while critics accused her of crossing a line by invoking personal indictments rather than focusing solely on policy substance.
“This wasn’t politics as usual — this was a wake-up call,” one Twitter user wrote. “If you hold public office, you answer to the law — not the other way around.”
Others argued that Crockett’s comments reflected deep frustration among Democrats over perceived double standards and selective enforcement in high-profile legal matters.
