Following up on how Nazi Tom Homan’s moronic threats against her are going, Dem Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi seeking “clarity on whether the Department of Justice has yielded to political pressure and attempts to weaponize the agency against elected officials whose speech they disagree with. Over the past two weeks, ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan has gone on multiple forums threatening political prosecution against me, citing resources I distributed informing my constituents and the American public of their constitutional and legal rights. On February 13, 2025, Mr Homan announced that he had asked the Deputy Attorney General to open an investigation, and that I will be ‘in trouble now.'”
“It has been 14 days since Mr Homan first threatened to weaponize your agency, but I have not yet heard any referral from the government. Mr Homan’s repeated attempts to use your agency to politically intimidate duly elected officials are a textbook threat to the right to free speech in the United States. Threatening criminal proceedings for exercising the First Amendment is itself a violation of the First Amendment. Educating the public about their rights, especially in a time of rising uncertainty, is a key part of our responsibility as elected officials. A government that uses threats of investigations to suppress free speech is a threat to all, regardless of political ideology.”
“Please respond no later than March 5, 2025, with an update on the Department of Justice’s response to Mr Homan’s request and transparency as to whether my office or myself is actively under investigation for exercising their First Amendment rights and executing on our congressional responsibilities,” AOC concluded, with that last “demand” a pretty shrewd move politically.
If this were anything else, like AOC demanding information about why the DC US Attorney didn’t sign the arrest warrant for domestic abuse against Cory Mills, then Bondi would be like “Yeah, fuck off, lol,” and throw it in the shredder. But here the “socialist” Congresswoman is sort of boxing the regime in. If they answer and say “There’s no investigation” then the fanboys lose their shit. If Bondi doesn’t respond then she’s saying more or less the same thing. The third option Bondi’s going to have to get pretty creative with, and come up with something the Fox News crowd can still feel like was a “win” but also doesn’t poke the hornet’s nest hard enough and prompt more such letters.
