Trump Adviser’s Threat Sparks Outrage: “Pound Town” Remarks Condemned
Jason Miller, a senior advisor to President-elect Trump, used the phrase “Pound Town” to describe how FBI director nominee Kash Patel would handle questioning from Democrats during his confirmation hearing. This comment followed Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi’s testimony, where she endorsed Patel but avoided commenting on his controversial past statements, including his amplification of QAnon conspiracy theories and his plans to overhaul the FBI. Miller’s remark sparked significant online reaction, with many focusing on the ambiguous and potentially offensive nature of the phrase. The controversy highlights the contentious nature of Patel’s nomination and the ongoing political tensions.
