President-elect Joe Biden has chosen Democratic California Attorney General Xavier Becerra as his nominee-designate to head his Health and Human Services Department, a crucial post amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo was speculated to be on Biden's shortlist before she publicly refuted the rumors during a press conference.

“I am not going to be President-elect Biden’s nominee for HHS secretary," she told reporters last week.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham was also reportedly in the mix at the urging of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The group is pressing Biden to promote Latinos to his Cabinet or high-level administration posts after the two-term vice president and 36-year Delaware senator promised to assemble a diverse team that "reflects the country."

... Health and Human Services Department, a crucial post amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A critical aspect of HHS for which Becerra has no qualifications. Biden is LARDING his Coronavirus task force and critical related functions with political picks who have few if any qualifications. His picks show that contrary to Biden's campaign and ongoing Covid-lies, it is Biden, not Trump, who is not taking Covid-19 seriously.

The chances Biden's non-competents would muck up Operation Warp Speed's carefully orchestrated vaccine roll-out and distribution - as well as ongoing vaccine and treatments development, testing, and distribution - are extremely high!

Declaring War On Nuns, Biden Plans To Nominate Abortion Extremist Xavier Becerra For HHS Secretary

excerpt:

Becerra served in Congress for 24 years, where he voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion, voted against making it a crime to hurt an unborn child during another crime, and voted for taxpayer-funded abortions. After being appointed California attorney general, he carried on the work Sen. Kamala Harris started in prosecuting undercover journalist and pro-life activist David Daleiden on behalf of Planned Parenthood. In 2017, Becerra charged Daleiden with 15 felonies, marking the first time any person in the state has been criminally prosecuted for allegedly violating California’s video recording law.

In 2018, Becerra represented both the pro-abortion and anti-free speech side of the Supreme Court case, NIFLA v. Becerra, in which justices ruled in a 5-4 decision that California can’t force crisis-pregnancy centers to post signs about state-sponsored abortion services.

When the Trump administration HHS revised a rule that bars federally funded contraception clinics and doctors from encouraging abortion or providing abortion referrals, Becerra led one of the lawsuits against the rule, calling it a “gag order.” The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the rule in February this year, and upon losing the case, Becerra vowed to “continue to fight for comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including safe and legal abortion.”

ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop Becerra from forcing religious pro-life pregnancy centers to advertise for abortions. He is an extremist who has no regard for conscience or protecting life. There’s nothing moderate about this pick. Nothing.

Presumed President-elect Joe Biden has nominated California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to serve as secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Becerra, who has no experience in health care, is known for his hostility towards pro-life activists. ...

... Becerra was the defendant in the case NIFLA v. Becerra, in which the state of California attempted to force pro-life pregnancy centers to promote abortion through government-mandated messaging in posted signage inside facilities and in any advertising. California’s Reproductive FACT Act was extreme in its singling out of pregnancy centers, and the Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of the pro-life plaintiffs.  ...More at Live Action

Joe Biden's Pick for HHS Head Is Absolute Garbage, Republicans Must Reject Him

If Joe Biden takes office in January, a hopefully GOP led Senate (assuming the Georgia run-offs turn out well) will get an immediate test of their mettle. That’s going to come in the form of Biden’s nominees, which appear to only be getting worse and worse. Neera Tanden to head the Office of Management and Budget was ridiculous enough. You’ll recall that she was a primary spreader of Russian collusion conspiracy theories and was also caught outing a sexual harassment victim ...

Now, Biden wants to make California Attorney General Xavier Becerra leader of Health and Human Services.

Becerra has no experience in the health sector, instead serving as a political hitman on the legal front for California’s left-wing leadership. You may remember his name because he’s the same guy who tried to prosecute people for revealing Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts. That revelation came via a series of undercover videos, most of which are stomach-turning. But instead of going after the bad actors who were literally illegally selling baby parts, Becerra decided to go after the group that made the videos. To this day, he’s taken zero action, nor held any real investigation involving Planned Parenthood’s actions.

That’s apparently enough for Joe Biden to tap him to lead HHS. That and Becerra being a big defender of Obamacare, which is obviously playing a role in this pick as well. Regardless, you want a perfect illustration of the swamp? This is it. Becerra is someone with zero experience being put in a position of power simply because they used the legal system to target the enemies of the left.  ...

Isn't Becerra the little bitch that bragged about how many of his relatives were illegals? Sounds like the Biden regime is looking to pack in as many America hating troglodytes as possible.

I don't think it's going to matter whether or not a Republican Senate refuses harris-biden regime nominees.

They'll just "recess-appoint" them.
