A Massachusetts bank executive’s sneering “prayer” for former Trump ally Pam Bondi to get the worst throat cancer “anybody’s ever seen” just cost her a six-figure job and exposed the ugly double standard of online hate against conservatives.
Story Snapshot
- A Massachusetts credit union fired assistant vice president Caitlyn Aguiar after her TikTok begged a “MAGA Lord Jesus” to give Pam Bondi the “worst case” of throat cancer.[1][2]
- The credit union said the comments were “offensive,” violated its Code of Ethics, and confirmed she is “no longer employed.”[1][2]
- The video, posted under @glitterandcrossbones and later set to private, went viral after being amplified by Libs of TikTok, triggering widespread backlash.[1][2][3]
- The case highlights how open hatred toward Trump supporters flourishes online even as the left cries “tolerance” and tries to police conservative speech.[1][2][4]
Massachusetts Credit Union Fires Executive Over Anti‑Bondi Cancer “Prayer”
According to multiple reports, Massachusetts resident Caitlyn Aguiar, an assistant vice president for the Inbound Contact Center at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union, lost her job after a TikTok surfaced attacking former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.[1][2] In the clip, posted from the account @glitterandcrossbones, Aguiar addressed what she called the “MAGA Lord Jesus,” asking for Bondi to “end up with a hole in her throat that she has to push every time she speaks.”[1][2][3] She then explicitly asked that Bondi’s throat cancer be “the worst case of cancer anybody’s ever seen.”[1][2][3]
Reports say the TikTok also accused Bondi of unleashing suffering on “thousands, millions, dare I say, of Americans,” and claimed she deserved painful illness as “karma.”[1][3][4] The original video was quickly set to private after backlash grew, but not before it was captured and shared by Libs of TikTok, a prominent account that routinely highlights left‑wing extremism on social media.[1][2][3] Screenshots of Aguiar’s deleted Facebook profile showed she publicly tied herself to Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union and described herself as a Massachusetts “digital creator,” making her online persona traceable back to her employer.[2][4]
Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union Cites Ethics Code and “Offensive” Conduct
Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union responded with a formal statement on Facebook confirming it had taken action against the employee, though it did not name her.[1][2] The credit union said that “offensive comments posted on TikTok” by someone employed there were “inconsistent with Jeanne D’Arc’s policies, Code of Ethics, and core values.”[1][2] The statement stressed that the institution “does not support or condone this behavior” or any employee conduct that violates company values or its commitment to those it serves, and confirmed “the individual is no longer employed.”[1][2]
For many customers and observers, the bank’s swift response underscored how dangerous it is when a mid‑level executive publicly calls for a political opponent to suffer extreme medical torment. Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union framed the firing as a matter of professional standards, not partisan politics, pointing directly to its ethics rules rather than any specific ideology.[1][2] That framing mirrors other recent cases, especially in New England, where employers disciplined staff over viral TikTok content by arguing that posts undermined workplace trust or harmed institutional reputation.[2][3]
Pattern of TikTok Backlash, Free‑Speech Claims, and Double Standards
This case lands in the middle of an ongoing national battle over social media, workplace discipline, and free speech. In Massachusetts, courts have recently upheld the firing of a public school teacher over her TikTok videos, ruling that officials were “eminently reasonable” to predict disruption once students and staff began discussing her posts.[2] Other employees have faced investigation or even been found dead amid scrutiny tied to social media allegations, underscoring how intensely online conduct is now policed.[3]
At the same time, Massachusetts’ own attorney general previously joined lawsuits attacking TikTok for allegedly exploiting young people and addicting minors, acknowledging the platform’s corrosive impact.[4] Yet left‑leaning influencers continue to use the app to target conservatives like Pam Bondi with grotesque taunts about cancer and physical mutilation, often assuming there will be no serious consequences.[1][2][4] The Aguiar firing shows that, at least in this case, open hatred toward a prominent Trump ally finally crossed a line that even a Massachusetts financial institution would not tolerate.[1][2]
