WATCH: Ted Cruz Destroys the Case for Vanita Gupta

Joel B. Pollak 9 Mar 2021

Republicans confronted Associate Attorney General nominee Vanita Gupta in her confirmation hearing Tuesday with her radical views and record of partisan attacks, prompting Democrats to intervene after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned her.

Gupta has favored ending qualified immunity for police officers, testifying in favor of that position before the committee last year. She has also advocated defunding the police in a seminar in June, complaining about “skewed funding priorities.” She led the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division during President Barack Obama’s second term — a period in which the department backed the Black Lives Matter movement by imposing consent decrees on large urban police departments.

In addition, Gupta has a long history of harsh rhetoric and radical views, including packing the Supreme Court. As recently as 2019, she described Republicans as “driven by hate, bigotry and fear of any threat to the status quo.”

She apologized on Tuesday for some of her past rhetoric in her hearing, and pledged that she would be impartial in her new position.

Dodging substantive questions seems to be the MO for LIEden's nominees. The Rs should bloc-vote against all nominees who do that, making clear that the nominees' disingenuous dodging is their reason.

These are all Obama retreads. The republicans know exactly who they are and what they'll do if confirmed.

According to an August 2020 Bloomberg report, American company Avantor sold acetic anhydride to cartels that used it to make high-grade "china white" heroin and methamphetamine.

Gupta's father, Raj Gupta, is the chairman of the board of Avantor. Vanita Gupta has agreed not to participate in any matters having to do with companies in which her family has financial interests or in which her father holds leadership positions. ...
