A Massachusetts woman who posted a TikTok video wishing the "worst case of cancer anybody's ever seen" on former Attorney General Pam Bondi has been fired from her position at a credit union after the clip circulated widely on social media.
Caitlyn Aguiar, who posted under the handle @glitterandcrossbones, recorded herself delivering a mock prayer aimed at the 60-year-old Bondi, who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and has undergone treatment. In the video, Aguiar invoked what she called "MAGA Lord Jesus" and asked that Bondi's illness become as severe as possible, including that she "end up with a hole in her throat that she has to push every time she speaks."
Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union confirmed Aguiar's termination in a Facebook statement posted Friday, saying her conduct violated the company's policies, Code of Ethics, and core values. The New York Post reported that Aguiar had served as assistant vice president of the credit union's Inbound Contact Center since January 2024.
The full text of Aguiar's remarks, transcribed from the TikTok before her account was set to private, leaves little room for charitable interpretation. She did not merely criticize Bondi's record or policies. She asked, in explicit terms, for a woman battling cancer to suffer more.
"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, asking that Bondi "have to take on the suffering that she's unleashed upon the thousands, millions, dare I say, of Americans in this country." She closed with: "Please let this be the karma that she so justly deserves, MAGA Lord Jesus. Amen."
The video gained traction after the Libs of TikTok account shared it on X, formerly Twitter. The backlash was swift and pointed.
Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union moved quickly. In its statement, the credit union said it became aware of Aguiar's comments "yesterday", one day before the Friday announcement, and acted to separate her from the organization. Fox News reported that the outlet reached out to both the credit union and Aguiar for comment but received no quoted response from either.
The credit union's statement was direct:
"Jeanne D'Arc does not support or condone this behavior, or any conduct by an employee that violates our policies, values, and commitment to those we serve. Although Jeanne D'Arc does not comment on personnel matters, we can confirm that the individual is no longer employed by Jeanne D'Arc."
By the time the statement went public, Aguiar's TikTok account had been set to private, her Facebook profile appeared deleted, and her LinkedIn page, which had listed her credit union role, appeared to have been taken down.
Aguiar's video arrived against the backdrop of Bondi's firing from the Department of Justice in early April, reportedly connected in part to her handling of the Epstein files. The departure triggered political debate on both sides of the aisle.
Bondi's exit was part of a broader set of personnel changes that drew attention across Washington. The president dismissed speculation about a wider Cabinet shake-up in the weeks that followed, even as questions lingered about the departures of multiple high-profile officials.
Whatever one thinks of Bondi's tenure at the DOJ, the policy disagreements surrounding her firing are a separate matter entirely from a social media user wishing a cancer patient's disease would worsen. Political opposition is fair game. Praying publicly for someone's suffering is not opposition, it is cruelty dressed up as content.
The incident is not an isolated case of online political rage spilling into real-world consequences. But the specific nature of Aguiar's remarks, targeting a woman undergoing cancer treatment, mocking her diagnosis, and framing the whole thing as a prayer, stands out for its deliberate viciousness.
Aguiar did not criticize a policy. She did not challenge a legal decision. She looked into a camera and asked God to make a sick woman sicker. And she did it with enough confidence to post it publicly under a handle linked to her real name and employer.
That confidence evaporated fast. Within a day of the video's wider circulation, her digital footprint had been scrubbed, TikTok locked, Facebook gone, LinkedIn pulled. The speed of the cleanup suggests Aguiar understood the gravity of what she had done, even if she did not anticipate the consequences when she hit "post."
Bondi, meanwhile, has continued in public life since her DOJ departure. She was subsequently tapped for a role on a White House science and technology panel, and the questions surrounding her handling of the Epstein files have continued to generate political friction.
The ongoing debate over those files is legitimate. People can disagree sharply about how the DOJ handled sensitive material. But the leap from policy criticism to wishing cancer on a public figure is not a difference of degree. It is a difference of kind.
Credit Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union for acting without equivocation. The statement did not hedge. It did not promise an internal review that would quietly conclude months later. The credit union identified the conduct, called it inconsistent with its values, and confirmed Aguiar's termination, all within roughly 24 hours of becoming aware of the video.
That kind of institutional clarity is rare. Too often, employers issue vague statements about "reviewing the matter" and hope the news cycle moves on. Jeanne D'Arc did not play that game.
Aguiar has not publicly responded to her firing. Fox News Digital attempted to reach her for comment without success. Whether she views herself as a victim of cancel culture or recognizes that wishing severe illness on a cancer patient crosses a line that no employer can ignore remains unknown.
The reaction on social media was fierce. One X user from North Carolina wrote that if they encountered someone like Aguiar at their own credit union, they would confront her directly and leave. The sentiment was widely shared.
There is a version of political engagement where people argue passionately, disagree deeply, and still recognize basic human decency. Wishing a woman's cancer would become "the worst case anybody's ever seen" is not that version. It is the version that gets you fired, and should.
