Rep. Massie Poll Shows 35,000+ Back Impeaching AG Pam Bondi After Epstein File Fallout
Rep. Thomas Massie’s social media poll on the impeachment of Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed significant online support but left unanswered whether it signals real political momentum.
Massie, a Kentucky Republican, asked his followers on X whether Bondi should be impeached over the Justice Department’s handling of newly released Jeffrey Epstein files and tens of thousands responded. According to Newsweek, more than 46,000 people participated in that poll, making this one of the most-engaged online surveys Massie has conducted.
The results were striking on their face: roughly 66% said Bondi should be impeached for her role in the Epstein file controversy, and another 11% supported impeachment for other reasons, meaning about 35,000 respondents backed the idea. Only a small share said she was doing “a fine job.”
But this complication matters: the poll was posted voluntarily on social media and is not a scientifically administered survey of Republican voters or lawmakers. Experts note social media polls can draw non-representative responders from outside the intended group, and the results cannot be reliably projected to the broader GOP electorate or Congress.

“It’s an interesting expression of discontent, but it doesn’t equate to an institutional push for impeachment,” said a political analyst who reviewed the poll’s format, speaking on background.
The poll’s timing comes amid heightened scrutiny of the DOJ’s release of Epstein files and criticism from both sides of the aisle over redactions and delays. Critics say Bondi has not fully complied with the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by Congress, which has fueled calls for accountability.
Whether this online enthusiasm translates into formal impeachment language in the House remains uncertain. For now, the online poll highlights a slice of GOP-aligned public sentiment rather than a concrete institutional campaign. What happens next will hinge on whether lawmakers take formal steps beyond social media engagement.
