People thought that this was an amazing multiracial democracy that they could aspire to.
And now what are we?
We're worse than most developed nations when it comes to giving people rights.
And so I'm so disappointed.
But I have faith after listening to the people you talk to on the street, if you're listening to the people who are in your legends group, who, you know,
it's not just me and so i think that i take a little bit of comfort in the fact that people who use their brains are waking up to the fact that like it is as bad as we thought it was going to be because i don't think any of us are surprised and i think that unfortunately it's gotten a lot worse for people who were very naive and stupid who you know voted for this thinking it would be anything else um i think that they have a lot of shame and i think rightfully so
The Don Lemon Show · Lemon LIVE at 5 | Pam Bondi DESTROYED During Oversight Hearing · 12 Feb 2026

Yeah, I mean, I was watching this exchange between Rep Jayapal and Pam Bondi, and I think that it speaks.
Actually, I think it's like very emblematic of the Trump administration that they would have, you know, a representative come and be unable or unwilling or both
You know, I like to think that if she wasn't beholden to the president, maybe she'd be different.
But she was clearly there to do his bidding.
And, you know, Donald Trump never apologizes.
And I think that that's a clear sign that that is, you know, the official line from, you know, not just the president, but the Republican Party is it doesn't matter how
egregious these acts are, how illegal, how damaging.
These women are survivors of horrors.
I think I'm not alone when I say we've all been reading these obscene files and every day becoming more and more disgusted as more information leaks, as people access stuff that you haven't seen yet.
And so to just see these women who've already been put through so much, not even, you know, it wasn't enough that Pam didn't, you know, apologize.
She wouldn't even turn around.
Like the ask was, can you at least look at them?
And she was unwilling.
And I think that this is so deeply shameful and will be something that is returned to, I think, for as long as the Epstein files are relevant.
