“Violence is never acceptable when it comes to political expression, period,” said Durbin.
Ms. Bondi responded, “of course I agree.”
“I abhor that sort of thing happening when it comes to conservative Supreme Court justices, and I abhor it when it comes to Nancy Pelosi’s husband being attacked in his home. We should all say unequivocally both are unacceptable. I think you agree, correct?” asked Durbin.
Ms. Bondi responded that she agreed.
Durbin then asked Ms. Bondi about her views on President-elect Trump’s FBI Director nominee, Kash Patel, whom she praised in the first round of questioning. When asked about the QAnon conspiracy movement, whose core belief is that a cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic child molesters, embedded within the government, are conspiring against President-elect Trump, Patel said that he“agree[s] with a lot of what that movement says.”
“Does that sound like a good preparation to run the FBI?” Durbin asked.
Ms. Bondi responded that while she has heard of QAnon, she has not heard the definition Durbin laid out and that he will have to ask Mr. Patel about it—failing to condemn Patel’s comment.

Would have been top kek if Bond would have responded:
There is Q, and there are Anons. There is no Qanon
