During the House hearing, Bondi slipped in a jab about Culver City, which is part of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove's district, saying "There are — in your district. Her district includes Culver City, and she's not talking about any crime in her district. Nothing about helping crime in her district. She's not even worth getting into the details." 

In response, local officials and personalities posted photos of clean streets, manicured parks, and community events, disputing Bondi's characterization of the city.

When U.S. Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove, whose district includes the Westside, questioned Bondi, the attorney general shot back by mentioning Culver City's crime.

Culver City Mayor Freddy Puza said he was shocked after Attorney General Pam Bondi referenced the city during a heated House Judiciary Committee exchange with Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove about the Jeffrey Epstein files. 

"Stop taking down reports that you know the American people need to know about. There are violent, dangerous people with real threats," Kamlager-Dove said during the hearing. 

Bondi referred to Culver City by name when discussing crime in U.S. Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove’s Congressional District, and public representatives of Culver City’s community unanimously rejected and denounced her critique.

As part of a tense back-and-forth exchange with California Democratic Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove that mostly centered on a Department of Justice report on political violence, Bondi called out Kamlager-Dove’s 37th Congressional District, implying it was filled with crime.

During a back-and-forth with Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) about right-wing extremism at a heated congressional hearing Wednesday, Bondi accused the congresswoman of “not talking about any crime in her district.” 

Kamlager-Dove represents a district that includes Culver City. 

So when U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi insinuated the city of 39,000 residents is a crime haven during a heated exchange with Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Los Angeles) Wednesday, local officials and personalities responded with statistics, memes and wry mockery.

Kamlager-Dove shrugged off Bondi’s comment, saying Culver City was known for “breakfast burritos — not crime.” 

"Trump's 50% tariff on India sacrificed decades of painstaking trust building between our two countries. Dragging on talks for over a year cost us the Quad Leaders Summit," Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove exposes how Trump derailed Indo-US relations.
