AG Pam Bondi Slams Shapiro Attack As ‘Horrific,’ But Falls Short Of Labeling It Domestic Terrorism

Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the attempted firebombing of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence, according to ABC News. Bondi stopped short of labeling it “domestic terrorism.” Bondi has aggressively used the term “domestic terrorism” in past cases involving attacks on Tesla dealerships but declined to apply that label here. Investigators say 38-year-old Cody Balmer targeted Shapiro over his stance on Palestine, citing statements he made after the attack. He faces eight charges, including attempted murder and terrorism.
