So we’re just saying the quiet part out loud now? Pam Bondi says U.S. citizenship isn’t a ‘right’

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is currently facing a ton of backlash, especially from Fox viewers, after she flat-out claimed that being an American citizen is a “privilege,” not a “right.” That’s a pretty big statement, and it’s definitely raising some eyebrows because it flies in the face of established constitutional law.

She really went for it, stating, “Being a citizen in our country is a privilege, not a right.
