Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested the "deep state" was to blame after a man was caught on video throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal officer.

Jeanine Pirro, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, announced on Wednesday that the man had been charged with felony assault on a federal agent after the sandwich hit the officer in the chest. The suspect was later identified as Sean Dunn, a 37-year-old resident of D.C.

Bondi reacted to the incident in a Thursday post on X.

"If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you," Bondi wrote. "I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice — NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony."

"This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ," she added.

In a video posted to X on Wednesday, Pirro claimed to be following President Donald Trump's policy: "If you spit, we hit."

"He took a Subway sandwich about this big and took it and threw it at the officer," Pirro explained. "He thought it was funny. Well, he doesn't think it's funny today because we charge it with a felony, assault on a police officer."

"So there, stick your subway sandwich somewhere else," she quipped.
