The internet reacted with uproar on Friday after Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Fox News, saying the Trump administration has focused on “citizenship fraud.”
Bondi spoke to Fox News about the Trump administration’s immigration policies and the escalating “aggressive denaturalization efforts,” prompting a number of responses.
“Being a citizen in our country is a privilege, not a right. And Donald Trump is going to have everyone in this country who deserves to be here who is a citizen,” Bondi said.
Plenty of people had thoughts following Bondi’s comments, rebuking her statements and calling out the administration.
“If true, get this disloyal anti-democracy moron on the first deportation boat for White Trash Island,” former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann and podcast host wrote on X.
“What the f— is that supposed to even mean? Of f—— course it’s a right if you’re a citizen. That’s the dumbest f—— thing anyone has ever said on Fox, and there’s some pretty dumb competition,” writer and political commentator Kelly Scaletta wrote on X.
“Calling citizenship a ‘privilege’ kinda/sorta/definitely ignores how the Constitution works. If you’re a citizen, that’s a protected right – full stop, not something a president gets to hand out or take away based on who they think ‘deserves’ it,” operations team lead Stacey Wernick wrote on X.
“It literally is a right.. and you mean white people is who Trump wants,” liberal commentator Rodger Williams wrote on X.
“Given the Admin’s position on birthright citizenship, it’s hard not to see this as a direct message to the Supreme Court,” reporter and host Grant Hermes wrote on X.
“I envy the confidence stupid people have to just go on the news and say s— like this,” software engineer Alex Jewell wrote on X.
