A Massachusetts credit union fired an assistant vice president after she posted a TikTok video praying for former Attorney General Pam Bondi to develop the "worst case of cancer anybody's ever seen." The video, which targeted a 60-year-old woman already diagnosed with thyroid cancer, drew swift public backlash and a formal employer response within days.
Caitlyn Aguiar, who held the title of Assistant Vice President for the Inbound Contact Center at Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union, posted the video under her TikTok handle @glitterandcrossbones. In it, she addressed a figure she called "MAGA Lord Jesus" and asked that Bondi be made to suffer physically for her political decisions.
The clip spread rapidly after the Libs of TikTok account reposted it on X. Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union confirmed Aguiar's termination in a statement posted to Facebook on Friday, calling the conduct "inconsistent" with company policy and values.
The content of the video was not ambiguous. Aguiar did not criticize Bondi's record or argue policy. She prayed, on camera, for public consumption, that a woman battling cancer would suffer more of it.
Fox News Digital reported the full text of her remarks:
"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 "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."
Aguiar offered no specific policy critique. She named no law, no case, no action. The entire video was a public request for a political opponent to suffer a gruesome medical fate, directed at someone already undergoing cancer treatment.
Bondi, who served as Attorney General, was removed from the Department of Justice in early April, reportedly due in part to her handling of the Epstein files. She was subsequently diagnosed with thyroid cancer and has been undergoing treatment. She canceled an appearance at an anti-trafficking summit over the medical issue.
Whatever one thinks of Bondi's tenure, her political record, or the circumstances of her departure, wishing aggressive cancer on a person already fighting the disease is not political commentary. It is cruelty dressed up as content creation.
The congressional scrutiny Bondi faced over the Epstein files was a legitimate matter of oversight. Aguiar's video had nothing to do with oversight. It had everything to do with the kind of unhinged political hatred that has become disturbingly normalized on social media.
Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union moved quickly. The institution issued a public statement on Facebook after becoming aware of the post, stating plainly that the behavior violated its standards:
"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. 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, or any conduct by an employee that violates our policies, values, and commitment to those we serve." It confirmed Aguiar was no longer employed there.
Aguiar had worked at the credit union since January 2024. Her LinkedIn page appears to have been taken down. Her Facebook profile, where she identified herself as a "digital creator" from Massachusetts, also appears to have been deleted.
Fox News Digital reported reaching out to both the credit union and Aguiar for comment. The Washington Times also covered the termination, noting that the TikTok account was subsequently set to private.
Aguiar's video is not an isolated case. It fits a pattern that has become familiar: political opponents treated not as people with different views but as targets deserving of physical suffering. The mockery of a cancer diagnosis, specifically, the wish that it worsen, crosses a line that most Americans, regardless of party, recognize.
The social media reaction reflected that. One X user from North Carolina wrote that if someone like Aguiar worked at their credit union, they would confront her directly, calling the behavior "horrible, cruel, hateful" and questioning whether such a person could be trusted with customer accounts.
That reaction points to a practical reality the political class often ignores: ordinary people who handle money, serve customers, and interact with the public are held to standards of basic decency. When those standards are violated publicly and deliberately, employers act, not because of political pressure, but because trust is the foundation of their business.
The broader problem of anti-Trump rage consuming the political left has been documented even by Democratic strategists who warn their own party about the consequences. Aguiar's video is what that rage looks like when it reaches the individual level, stripped of any policy argument, reduced to a raw wish for human suffering.
It is worth noting that Aguiar held a management-level title at a financial institution. She was not some anonymous teenager posting from a bedroom. She was an assistant vice president at a credit union, someone whose job required public trust and professional judgment. She chose to post a video wishing cancer on a public official, and apparently expected no consequences.
The credit union deserves credit for acting decisively. But the episode raises a question that the statement did not address: how does someone in a position of institutional responsibility reach the point where posting such content seems like a good idea?
The answer, in part, is that political culture, particularly online political culture, has made this kind of venom feel normal. When public figures are routinely described as deserving of violence, illness, or death, the guardrails erode. People who would never say such things to a neighbor's face feel liberated to say them to a camera.
The recent departures from the administration over health crises have reminded the country that public servants are human beings with families and medical struggles. That reminder apparently did not reach Caitlyn Aguiar's feed.
Several details remain unclear. The exact date Aguiar posted the video has not been established in public reporting. Fox News Digital did not indicate whether Aguiar responded to requests for comment. Her current employment status is unknown.
It is also unclear whether Aguiar faces any consequences beyond the firing. Wishing illness on someone is not, in itself, a criminal act. But for a financial institution employee in a trust-dependent role, it was career-ending, and rightly so.
The New York Post characterized Aguiar as a "lefty TikTokker" who begged "MAGA Lord Jesus" to worsen Bondi's illness. The framing was blunt, but the underlying facts speak for themselves.
If a conservative bank employee had posted a video praying for a Democratic official's cancer to worsen, the response from mainstream media would be wall-to-wall coverage, think pieces about right-wing extremism, and calls for industry-wide accountability reviews. The story would be treated as a symptom of a dangerous movement.
When the hatred flows from the other direction, it gets a news cycle and a shrug. Aguiar lost her job. That is the right outcome. But the culture that produced the video, the one that treats political opponents as subhuman and medical suffering as deserved punishment, remains fully intact.
Accountability for one TikTok creator is a start. It is not a cure for a political movement that has confused rage with righteousness.
