A Massachusetts woman has been fired from her job at a credit union after posting a TikTok video that appeared to pray for former Attorney General Pam Bondi to suffer a severe case of throat cancer, setting off a wave of condemnation online.
The video, posted under the account @glitterandcrossbones and since set to private, was attributed to Caitlyn Aguiar, who according to Fox News had worked as an assistant vice president for the Inbound Contact Center at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union in Massachusetts since January 2024. Her LinkedIn page, which identified her in that role, appeared to have been taken down, and her Facebook profile also appeared to have been deleted, Fox News reported.
In the video, Ms. Aguiar said, “Dear MAGA Lord Jesus, please let her end up with a hole in her throat that she has to push every time she speaks. Dear God, if there is a MAGA God, please let Pam Bondi’s throat cancer be the worst case of cancer anybody’s ever seen.”
She continued: “Please let her have to take on the suffering that she’s unleashed upon the thousands, millions, dare I say, of Americans in this country.”
Ms. Bondi, 60, was removed as attorney general by President Trump in early April. She has since been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and told CBS News she underwent surgery a few weeks after her departure and is continuing treatment while recovering at home.
In a statement posted to its Facebook page, Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union confirmed Ms. Aguiar’s termination without naming her directly.
“Yesterday, we became aware of offensive comments posted on TikTok by an individual who was employed by Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union at the time of the post,” the statement read. “This conduct is inconsistent with Jeanne D’Arc’s policies, Code of Ethics, and core values.” The credit union added that it “does not support or condone this behavior” and confirmed “the individual is no longer employed by Jeanne D’Arc.”
The video was amplified by the Libs of TikTok account on X, drawing additional backlash.
