Pam Bondi is Trump’s Regina George | with Angie Sullivan

Pam Bondi’s October 7 Senate Judiciary Committee appearance revealed just how far the attorney general will go to protect Donald Trump. Channeling the manipulative energy of Mean Girls movie villain Regina George, Bondi has turned cruelty, nasty insults and tantrums into a political strategy. I explain why Trump can’t quit this sneering mean girl, no matter how much other Republicans want her gone. Joining me this episode is Angie “Pumps” Sullivan from the I’ve Had It podcast. She shares why Bondi’s incompetent cover-ups for Trump can only last so long.
