Attorney General Pam Bondi got into several heated exchanges with Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla (Calif.) during which Bondi accused the senator of not caring about his home state and having “stormed” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at a press conference earlier this year.

Bondi ripped Padilla for delivering a long statement criticizing her leadership of the Department of Justice before asking his first question.

“First, Sen. Padilla you’ve gone on for over five minutes and I wish that you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump. We’d be in really good shape then because violent crime in California is currently 35 percent higher than the national average,” Bondi retorted.
