WASHINGTON, D.C. — As millions of Americans continued to mourn several days after the assassination of a prominent conservative leader, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the plan to honor Charlie Kirk's legacy by doing the exact opposite of everything Charlie Kirk stood for.
Just six days after Kirk was killed at an event promoting free and open debate in the public square, Bondi appeared as an interview guest on an internet podcast to make a stern pledge to prosecute individuals who were deemed to have engaged in "hate speech."
"The best way to honor Charlie is by going against what he stood for," Bondi said in a subsequent social media post. "Charlie was a relentless warrior who fought for the freedom of speech and the open exchange of ideas. That's why I'm making it my mission to police what people say, identify speech I don't like, and take steps to hold the perpetrators criminally responsible. It's a philosophy that is not at all what Charlie would have wanted. And, in his memory, I'm going to make it a reality."
Despite immediate backlash among conservatives, staffers at the Department of Justice stood by the AG's pledge. "What better way to continue Charlie's legacy than by crumpling it up and throwing it in the trash?" said one DOJ insider. "We owe it to Charlie to just brush off everything he fought so hard for and adopt the type of agenda that he rejected throughout his life's work."
At publishing time, Bondi said she was confident that any precedent set for censoring and prosecuting "hate speech" would never, ever be turned around and used against conservatives in the future.

“Bondi has too many unforced errors.”
It’s pathetic that it has taken thousands of regular folk to school a hoity-toity, Stetson-educated lawyer on the Constitution.
Nah.. I’m 73 and I e been watching media coverage of Republican administrations for over 50 years.
It’s always the same thing - circular firing squad - organized by Leftist trolls.. a bunch of pretend supporters hating on everyone in the Republican administration.
Trump has a stellar team - including Bondi
You’re not fooling anyone.
The headline reflects exactly what Charlie believed

Hey listen, e—Bondi needs a writer.
Not great off the cuff.
Not saying she’s perfect - but.. can you explain why it always enemy fire? Circular firing squad?
Why is it always a criticism of our side?
Because our side is the whole enchilada.
Pam needs to keep trying. Her boss is patient.
Blondi screwed the pooch
.
Thank you for the source... :)
The enrtire Judicial System needs a comprehensive redesign. You'll realize the truth of that statement by the time Charlie Kirk's assassin is up for parole.
There’s more criticism on FR of Pam Bondi than there be is of Barack Obama…
Explain that
Am I so out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong.
The president likes to hire pretty gurls.
“The president likes to hire pretty gurls.”
Epic fail with Bondi then.
I’m not on the fire Bondi bandwagon, but it’s pretty obvious Trump goes out of his way to hire attractive women. And he has hired some competent ladies.
There really is not. There was plenty criticism around here during Barack Obama’s terrible -residency. Thing is nobody advocated harming him.
Our side has one thing the other side will never understand. The ability to speak out and critique each other. We do not jump on a bandwagon and demand everyone agree or else. Not in the past anyway. This is a privately owned forum and the boss can set the rules though.
The opinion of the job Bondi is doing is varied . I wish I cold name the big fish Bondi has caught, but I can’t.
I do hope very soon, she surprises us and opens the gates of hell on the people who so deserve it.
The people who are not happy with the job Bondi is doing are not being anti Trump. They want her to do the job we thought was going to be done during the campaign.
We are 8 months in now and no big bad dogs have even been arrested. As time goes by, the Statutes of limitations may come into play. If these criminals get away with it, they will be back with a vengeance.
There really is not. There was plenty criticism around here during Barack Obama’s terrible -residency. Thing is nobody advocated harming him.
As a matter of fact, the last thing I wanted was for Obama to become a martyr. That would have been a disaster.
That was the libs at X’s call. In her further remarks she echoes Trump on the subject.
Your criticism of Pam Bondi is reasonable and measured, and I share it. If all the Bondi-bashers on FR criticized her that way, I’d have no problem.
I understand the urgency of team Trump draining the swamp - and the fear that everyone on his team might be another Bill Bar.
She’s not that bright
