In a spirited critique, late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Attorney General Pam Bondi, likening her to an overzealous “dance mom” during a heated Capitol Hill hearing.

“She’s yelling like an overzealous dance mom, chastising Democrats as if they gave her daughter a low score,” Kimmel joked on his show Wednesday night.

Further poking fun at Bondi, Kimmel remarked, “She’s the kind of neighbor who’d make you want to pack up and leave without a second thought.”

He continued, “There’s no point in arguing with her. You’d just move away and never look back.”

Bondi’s intense display drew criticism not only from Hollywood’s late-night circles but also from online commentators and MAGA supporters alike, leaving her with few allies.

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson was particularly vocal, asserting that Bondi should resign or be dismissed, criticizing her focus on stocks rather than addressing Epstein’s victims.

Referring to a clip of the AG ranting about stocks instead of answering a question, he wrote: ‘When the Attorney General of the United States is asked why she has prosecuted no one related to Jeffrey Epstein, and this is her answer, she should be fired or resign.’

‘But neither will happen, which is another reason the Democrats are going to have a good election year,’ he added.

MAGA voices were also not happy with her show.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a Second Amendment activist who was acquitted after shooting two men dead at a protest in Wisconsin in 2020, wrote, ‘Pam Bondi needs to resign. Harmeet Dhillon for AG!’

Tim Pool, another pro-Trump voice, also slammed Bondi’s appearance.

‘Man, we are a nation of adult children,’ he said in an episode of his Timcast YouTube show.

‘I think they’ve miserably handled the Epstein files. I don’t think we’re serviced as the American people by this kind of yelling.’

Pool praised Congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, the power duo behind  the Epstein Transparency Act, ‘for getting the job done.’

James Fishback, a Republican running for Florida governor, left no doubts about how he felt, writing: ‘Pam Bondi is a national embarrassment.’

Bondi traded barbs with just about every Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday in a ferocious hearing over the Epstein files.

The AG caused mayhem as she fired back at lawmakers, branding Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin ‘a loser’, accusing Republican Thomas Massie of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ and sparking laughter as she ranted about the booming stock market.

Bondi at one point pivoted to touting wins of the Trump administration that have little to do with the Department of Justice’s work.

‘They are talking about Epstein today. This has been around since the Obama administration… The Dow is over $50,000 right now… Americans’ 401 (k) s and retirement savings are booming. That’s what we should be talking about,’ Bondi noted. 

The Dow comment, in particular, has generated a plethora of online mockery, drawing attention far beyond the circles that typically comment on politics. 

Despite the national ridicule, Bondi seems to have kept at least one person happy – President Donald Trump.

 ‘AG Pam Bondi, under intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday’s Hearing on the never ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein,’ Trump wrote in a Truth Social post backing Bondi.
