WATCH: Capitol Hill fireworks as Pam Bondi mixes it up with angry Dems
The insults flew in both directions Wednesday as U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Judiciary Committee, taking “questions” from Democrats, mostly about the Epstein files, but then not always given the opportunity to answer.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., shouted, “Reclaiming my time!” as Bondi, who characterized the Democrats’ hearing strategy as “theatrics,” began answering one of his questions. During the back and forth, the attorney general labeled Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, Md., a “washed up, loser lawyer:”

In another exchange, Democrat Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania asked Bondi about designating organizations as terrorist groups:
REP MARY GAY SCANLON: “We get it, you don’t want to answer the question…”
AG BONDI: “No, you don’t get anything regarding public safety.”
SCANLON: “Thank you.”
BONDI: “Nothing.”
SCANLON: “Thank you for the insult.” pic.twitter.com/CcQYgnmKKT

In another bit of dialogue, Rep. Ted Lieu of California told Bondi, “I believe you just lied under oath,” while also trying to “reclaim” his time:

Bondi confronted Raskin for laughing when she mentioned that the Dow Jones recently broke 50,000:
Pam Bondi goes on a completely unhinged rant about the stock market when asked why she has not indicted any clients of Jeffrey Epstein.
Bondi says all Americans need to focus on other topics, like the economy, and not on Jeffrey Epstein’s child trafficking network.

The fireworks were not limited to Democrats, as Bondi diagnosed Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky with “Trump Derangement Syndrome”:
