MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson warned the political Left on the network Thursday night that President-elect Donald Trump’s new nominee for U.S. Attorney General is dangerous because she knows what she is doing.

Johnson’s remarks came shortly after Trump announced that he had tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for the role after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) withdrew his name from consideration.

“Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear because she’s competent,” Johnson said during a segment on MSNBC’s “The Beat With Ari Melber.”

“We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job,” he said. “So if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that’ll give us some time — no. Pam Bondi knows what she’s doing.”

“She knows what she’s doing about immigration. Remember, Florida is one of those states that’s been very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and everything else like that,” Johnson said. “She is a dangerous and effective pick and that’s, frankly, worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz, even with the deplorable moral background that he has.”

Trump made the announcement just a few hours after Gaetz removed his name from consideration because he said that he did not want to be a distraction to the Trump transition team.

Trump highlighted Bondi’s record as the first female Attorney General of Florida, noting that she worked to stop drug traffickers and tackle the fentanyl problem plaguing America’s streets.

“Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families,” he said. “She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!”
