Last week, Pam Bondi learned that life comes at you fast as she was dumped in the trash (weirdly, not a metaphor). The now-former Attorney General, whose tenure was already doing heavy lifting in the “controversial at best” category, has been roundly mocked since news broke that her portrait was spotted unceremoniously tossed aside almost immediately after her firing. And then Saturday Night Live got in on the action.
In the cold open, cast member Ashley Padilla took a turn as Bondi, delivering a performance that managed to capture both the self-seriousness and the spectacular lack of self-awareness that defined Bondi’s time at DOJ. The highlight? A line that feels destined to live far longer than Bondi’s already-short-lived post-Trump tenure, “The truth is, I was amazing at my job, and I am proud to say I made history as the first woman ever to be fired as attorney general. I shattered that glass exit door!”
But SNL didn’t stop there.
