Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that she spoke to the pastor of the church and affirmed that “attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law.”
“The American people rightly expect the Department of Justice to do exactly that, sending a clear message that the tyrannical behavior of an angry mob does not strip law-abiding people of their fundamental freedoms,” De Gance said.
