Must stop’: AG nominee rips targeting of parents as ‘domestic terrorists’

Pam Bondi’s predecessor, Merrick Garland, oversaw the targeting of parents who objected to sexualized and racialized curriculum

The targeting of parents, pro-lifers, and Latin Mass attendees “will stop” and “must stop” according to attorney general nominee Pam Bondi.

The former Florida attorney general is testifying today in the first of two hearings on her nomination to lead the Department of Justice. Under Attorney General Merrick Garland, law enforcement targeted concerned parents and citizens who objected to sexual and racial identity politics in the classroom.

The FBI office in Richmond, Va. also labeled Catholics who prefer the older Latin Mass as extremists. The DOJ also came under scrutiny for perceived targeting of peaceful pro-life dads who protested outside of abortion facilities.

This “weaponization,” “will stop” according to Bondi. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, asked Bondi for comment on the current problems at the DOJ.

“Going after parents at a school board meeting has got to stop,” Bondi said. “Sending informants into Catholic churches must stop,” she said.

Lee said Bondi’s answers were reassuring and he supports his nomination.

The DOJ collaborated with the National School Boards Association to write the memo which labeled parents and other citizens as domestic terrorists.

The memo prompted a prosecutor in Montana to dream up and circulate a list of potential federal crimes to use to go after American citizens.

The NSBA subsequently lost more than 15 members after comparing parents to terrorists.

She’s right, and the way to ensure it stops is to go after everybody involved, from that weasel Garland clear down to the guy pushing a broom in the mail room. If anyone so much as nodded in agreement with persecuting these innocent individuals, they should be called to account for it.

I hope she comes out on national TV and states emphatically that her office will no longer abuse civilian’s rights by labeling them as domestic terrorists for simply having opinions that the left do not like

And here I thought the Pope was the only one who did that.

Pentacostals believe in ‘Speaking in Tongues’ like they did on the day of Pentacost. Does that make them Domestic terrorists? Besides not believing in the WOKE/CRT crap.

Who cares if Mass is in English or any other language, it’s still Mass and spoken in many different languages worldwide for hundreds of years. It is the Priest who wants it so you don’t know what they babbled. Just like they didn’t want the Bible in English. Latin is a forgotten language by the majority worldwide.

I always knew what the prayers meant. There were translations on the opposite page.

That is beyond ignorant.

There are Catholic denominations who rebuke Vatican 2, and remain with the rules of Vatican 1. They continue to hold the Mass in Latin. I think, tho I don’t recall exactly, that they have their own Pope and claim the church is in schism. Therefore the Pope from Argentina isn’t a valid Pope.
