Trump Adviser’s ‘Pound Town’ Threat Prompts Viral Mockery On Social Media

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Trump senior adviser Jason Miller confidently stated on social media Wednesday — to widespread mockery — that he wants FBI nominee Kash Patel to take Democrats to “Pound Town,” a phrase that has long been used to describe vigorous sex.

The statement came while Miller was rebuking New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush, who covered Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing on Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney general, and argued that her prior support of Patel was absent under questioning.

“Bondi distanced herself from Kash Patel, who she had previously defended,” Thrush wrote Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter. “Asked about F.B.I. nominee’s position on the conspiratorial QAnon group, she said, ‘I look forward to hearing his testimony about QAnon in front of this committee.’”

“This is taken out of context, Glenn,” Miller responded. “We all look forward to @Kash_Patel taking these idiotic Democrats to Pound Town if/when they decide to waste their time asking him about hypothetical conspiracy theories in his hearing.”

Provided both nominations are confirmed, Bondi would oversee Patel — who ranked Trump’s “deep state” enemies in a 2023 book, “Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy” and has vowed to “come after” them.

Bondi vowed during her hearing that there “will never be an enemies list” under her potential purview at the Justice Department, and while she thus did appear to distance herself from Patel, Miller was mostly ribbed for his baffling use of the term “Pound Town.”

“You want Republicans to have rough sex with Democrats?” wrote one user on X, with another cheekily commenting: “Kash Patel is going to have sex with the democrats during his hearing? Somebody should let C-Span know. Seems inappropriate.”

“Just because you listened to Pete Hegseth talk for a few hours yesterday doesn’t mean you need to sexualize everything,” one user wrote in reference to Trump’s pick for defense secretary addressing past sexual misconduct allegations at his own hearing Tuesday.

Miller was even mocked personally. He notably admitted in a 2019 deposition while suing media outlet Gizmodo for defamation that he had extramarital affairs and visited massage parlors for hand jobs, Mediaite reported at the time.

Social media users couldn’t help but bring this up too.
