Joe Scarborough Skewers 'Sycophant' Pam Bondi, Says She Was 'Thrown Under the Bus' by Donald Trump 

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough offered a fiery analysis of the firing of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, calling her a "sycophant" who had been "thrown under the bus" like every other acolyte in President Donald Trump's circle.

Scarborough’s remarks followed Trump’s decision to fire Bondi only a day prior, ending a tenure marked by intense controversy and public hearings over her handling of the files of dead star Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump was also reportedly frustrated by Bondi’s failure to properly persecute his perceived enemies, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

“We remember it was maybe back in September of last year, when the president frantically sent a direct message, what he thought was a direct message on Truth Social to Pam Bondi, when in fact it was read by the entire world, where he said, ‘Quick, hurry up, time’s running out.’ And then suggested she start prosecuting his political enemies,” Scarborough said.

The anti-Trump Republican then blasted Bondi for showing no spine against the increasingly authoritarian president, arguing that her downfall was predictable, asserting that "being a sycophant doesn't work at the end."

He claimed she ended up like many others who offered "over-the-top, flowery praise" to the POTUS, only to be discarded.

“That would have been a great time for her, actually, to take a stand against Donald Trump. I have, obviously, I’ve known him for a long time, and I’ve explained to House speakers, I’ve explained the incoming agency heads, I’ve explained to anybody who asks me: Listen, being a sycophant doesn’t work. At the end, if you’re a sycophant, you end up just like every other sycophant that’s come in and gone out of that office. You get fired, you get humiliated, you get thrown under the bus,” he exclaimed.

Scarborough said Bondi would have been better off being fired for standing up to Trump rather than cowering down to him.

“Much better to be fired for being a truth teller than being fired by being a sycophant who can’t prosecute political enemies, because the court’s just not going to allow [Bondi] or any other attorney general to do that,” he said.

He then pointed to her widely mocked appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, attended by many Epstein survivors, in which she was combative and, in one instance, so flustered she spouted non-sequitur stats about the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has since become a meme.

“She was, as The Washington Post said, a sycophant from day one, giving just over the top flowery praise of Donald Trump that having that performance in the Judiciary Committee, that was cringeworthy even for Republican members of the House and Senate,” Scarborough said.

She “certainly she didn’t make things easier on herself from day one," he concluded.
