Pam Blondi spends more time on Fux Noise than doing her job

On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi took part in a televised White House Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump and other senior members of his administration.

“Your first 100 days has far exceeded that of any other presidency in this country,” she gushed to Trump. She also claimed that Trump’s policies had prevented “258 million deaths”—which would be 75% of the population of the entire country—because fentanyl has been confiscated at the border.

As strange as Bondi’s proclamations were, based on her activities since she was confirmed on Feb. 4, it was odd that these exaggerations and falsehoods didn’t occur during a Fox News interview. Because Bondi has lived on the right-wing propaganda network.

According to a Media Matters for America analysis of television appearances that was provided to Daily Kos, Bondi has shown up 24 times on Fox News between Feb. 5 and April 28. The intense volume of Bondi appearances stands in stark contrast to her immediate predecessor, former Attorney General Merrick Garland.

They're supposed to work for us, not their shitty propaganda channels.

I'm glad somebody has noticed this. Bondi on Fox. It was a pattern I was noticing (don't watch FOX, but clips galore of her showing up on all sorts of platforms.).

1. This is very Trumpy. He wants his people on TV 24/7. Pound the propaganda message every single minute. Everything, everywhere all at once.

2. Florida prides itself on Sherriffs, district attorneys and State Attorneys who are media WHORES. "See! I'm fighting crime! Upholding the law!"

She certainly isn't qualified to be the Attorney General of the United States.

The attorney general claimed recent fentanyl seizures will save “258 million lives.” That's ... not quite right.

Take Attorney General Pam Bondi, for example.

The Republican AG appeared on Fox News this week, and marked Fentanyl Awareness Day with a curious claim. “In President Trump’s first 100 days, we’ve seized over 22 million fentanyl laced pills, saving over 119 million lives,” Bondi said.

According to the Census Bureau, the current population of the United States is over 341 million people. According to the attorney general, fentanyl laced pills were poised to kill roughly one in three Americans — which seemed difficult to believe.

A day later, Bondi attended a White House Cabinet meeting, where she gushed for quite a while about how awesome Donald Trump’s awesomeness is, before turning her attention to fentanyl seizures.

After prefacing her comments by asking whether journalists were “ready” for her big announcement, Bondi credited Trump with saving “258 million lives” — or roughly three-quarters of the population of the United States......

So, a few things.

First, the Trump administration really should stop coming up with weird mathematical formulas. Readers who were baffled by what the DOJ told the Daily Beast can take comfort in the fact that they're not alone, though it's about as strange as the White House's tariffs formula.

Second, the first hint that this formula was flawed should’ve been obvious to Bondi and her team given that fentanyl-laced pills, though extremely dangerous, were never going to wipe out 78% of the American population.

Finally, let’s also not overlook a recent report from Reuters, which noted that under the Biden administration, there was a sharp decline in overdose deaths from fentanyl, but those directly involved in the anti-narcotics fight are concerned about a reversal due to “federal spending cuts instigated by” the Trump White House.
