WASHINGTON D.C. – As the Senate processes Donald Trump’s nominations of Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorney General and Kash Patel for FBI Director, with a Judiciary Committee vote on Bondi today and a hearing for Patel scheduled for tomorrow, People For the American Way President Svante Myrick outlined actions the organization is taking to oppose the nominations:     

“Our People For the American Way members and supporters are coming out in force against the disastrous nominations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, two people who have shown they are ready and willing to do Trump’s bidding and weaponize the Justice Department against fellow Americans. As of now our petitions opposing these nominations have garnered thousands of signatures and the numbers continue to grow. We are also driving calls to Senate offices to let senators know in no uncertain terms that their constituents are watching. People want these nominations stopped, and they’re not going to forget how their senators voted should Bondi or Patel ever be in an official position and start abusing their power.  No senator should get a free pass on these nominations.”
