A Massachusetts woman who posted a TikTok video praying for former Attorney General Pam Bondi to develop "the worst case of cancer anybody's ever seen" has been fired from her position at a New England credit union, the New York Post reported.
Caitlyn Aguiar, who used the TikTok handle @glitterandcrossbones, recorded a video mocking Bondi's thyroid cancer diagnosis in language that drew swift backlash online and a decisive response from her employer, Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union.
The credit union confirmed Aguiar's termination in a Facebook statement posted Friday, saying it had learned of the video the previous day. Aguiar had served as Assistant Vice President of the Inbound Contact Center since January 2024. She held a management-level title at a community financial institution, and used her personal social media account to wish suffering on a 60-year-old woman battling cancer.
The video, which the Libs of TikTok account amplified on X, featured Aguiar delivering what she framed as a prayer. The words speak for themselves.
"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 in the same vein, 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 a flourish that managed to be both pious and vicious at once.
"Please let this be the karma that she so justly deserves, MAGA Lord Jesus. Amen."
Aguiar's TikTok account has since been set to private. Her LinkedIn profile appears to have been taken down, and her Facebook profile appears to have been deleted.
Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union did not equivocate. Its Facebook statement called Aguiar's conduct "inconsistent with Jeanne D'Arc's policies, Code of Ethics, and core values."
"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."
The statement is notable for its clarity. No corporate hedging. No "internal review" language designed to buy time. The credit union identified the problem, named the standard, and acted. That is how an institution protects its members and its reputation.
Fox News Digital reported that it reached out to both Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union and Aguiar for comment but received no response.
Pam Bondi was fired from the Department of Justice in early April, a move that reshaped the agency's leadership heading into the midterm season. The decision was linked in part to the Epstein files controversy that followed her throughout her tenure.
Her departure prompted broader questions about the direction of the Justice Department. As we covered at the time, the firing set in motion a broader reset of the agency's priorities and personnel.
After leaving office, Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent treatment. The diagnosis became public knowledge, and, for some corners of the internet, an occasion for mockery rather than basic human decency.
Whatever one thinks of Bondi's record or the circumstances of her departure, and there is fair debate about the missteps that ended her tenure, wishing aggressive cancer on anyone is not political commentary. It is cruelty dressed up as conviction.
The backlash was immediate and sharp. One X user from North Carolina captured the mood of many who saw the video:
"My opinion: I can say one thing for sure...if there was someone like this at my Credit Union (and I love my CU) and I walked in to do a transaction and this was the only employee there, I WOULD TELL HER TO HER FACE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE THERE WHAT A HORRIBLE, CRUEL, HATEFUL, EVIL, DEMONIC HUMAN SHE WAS and I'd turn around and walk out."
The same user added a practical point that any credit union board should understand: "I would NOT trust that person and would NOT let her touch anything of mine."
That instinct, the refusal to do business with someone who broadcasts that kind of hostility, is exactly the market pressure that makes corporate codes of ethics more than decoration. Customers saw the video. Customers reacted. The credit union acted.
Aguiar's video is part of a broader trend in which political opponents treat illness and personal misfortune as opportunities for public cruelty, then act surprised when consequences follow. The logic seems to run: if the target is politically disfavored, any attack is permissible.
But most Americans, left, right, and center, draw a line at wishing cancer on someone. The fact that Aguiar framed her remarks as a prayer, complete with "Amen," only made the performance more grotesque. Wrapping malice in religious language does not sanctify it.
Bondi's thyroid cancer diagnosis came after she had already left public office. She was no longer making policy. She was no longer a government official wielding power. She was a private citizen dealing with a serious health condition. Aguiar chose that moment to record a video wishing her the worst.
There is a distinction worth drawing here. Aguiar was not fired for holding progressive political views. She was not fired for criticizing the Trump administration or disagreeing with Bondi's record at the Justice Department. She was fired for recording and publishing a video in which she prayed, on camera, for a named individual to suffer the worst possible version of a disease that individual actually has.
Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union serves members who hold all kinds of political views. An assistant vice president who broadcasts that level of hostility toward people on one side of the political spectrum creates a legitimate trust problem. The credit union's statement made that clear without belaboring the point.
The broader fallout from Bondi's firing has generated plenty of legitimate political debate. There are real policy questions about the Justice Department's direction, the handling of sensitive files, and the administration's personnel decisions. None of that requires wishing cancer on anyone.
Aguiar has not publicly responded to her termination or to the widespread criticism. Her social media accounts have gone dark. Fox News Digital's attempts to reach her went unanswered.
It is unclear whether Aguiar will face any consequences beyond the loss of her job, or whether she will resurface on another platform to continue her commentary. The TikTok video itself is no longer publicly accessible through her account, though it continues to circulate through the Libs of TikTok post on X.
The specific provisions of Jeanne D'Arc's Code of Ethics that Aguiar violated have not been publicly detailed. But the credit union's statement left little ambiguity about the institution's view of the conduct.
Political disagreement is the lifeblood of a free country. Praying for someone's cancer to worsen is not political disagreement. It is a window into something darker, and Caitlyn Aguiar opened that window on camera, with her name attached, while holding a management title at a community institution that depends on public trust.
Actions have consequences. That used to be a principle everyone agreed on.
