Pam Bondi Humiliates Trump And Herself, Then Deletes This - Pondering Politics
Attorney General Pam Bondi posted (and later deleted) a social media message claiming credit for the Trump administration's success in reducing drug overdose deaths. She shared a chart showing declining fentanyl-related deaths as evidence of their work.
The problem: The chart clearly showed data ending in October 2024 — when Joe Biden was still president and before Trump had even been elected to his second term. Critics, including Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu, quickly pointed out that Bondi was inadvertently giving credit to the Biden administration for the declining overdose rates.
