When Balint’s time expired, and the out lawmaker yielded back, Bondi asked for a moment to respond, and used it to go on the offensive: “You didn’t ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein,” she said. Balint shot back: “Weak sauce.”

Bondi then escalated: “And with this anti-Semitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution …”

Balint cut her off: “Oh really? Do you want to go there, attorney general?” she said. “Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust?”

The lawmaker then got up and left the room.

    FWIW the trumpers that I know don’t believe that any of the things you mentioned are true. They think all that stuff is a smear campaign by liberals who hate such an effective conservative leader – that’s literally what “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is to them.

    Somehow, the only exception to this is the “grab 'em by the pussy” comment which they do believe he said, but they believe he was joking and said it just to piss off us snowflakes.
