The Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general. Her confirmation puts a longtime ally of Donald Trump at the helm of a Justice Department that has already been rattled by the firings of career employees seen as disloyal to the Republican president.

The vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with only Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, joining with all Republicans to pass her confirmation 54-46.

With no due respect, fuck Fetterman.

Democrats need to do better.

    There’s always that convenient one Democrat that allows them to say “Oh, we tried, but…”

      You’re blaming the DNC for Fetterman voting against the party lines.

      All while leftist call for the DNC to end closed primaries so we can have more Fettermans and Sinemas.

        I didn’t specifically blame anyone. It’s just a frustrating pattern that seems to keep happening.

          The vote was 54-46. Fetterman voting with the Dems and 3 Republicans having a conscience still would not have prevented this.

          The blame lies with 54 Senators and the President who nominated Bondi.
