White House planning to withdraw ATF nominee
politico ^ | Sept 9, 2021

The White House is planning to withdraw David Chipman's nomination to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, according to three sources close to the process.

Chipman is currently a senior policy advisor to Giffords, a gun control group, and faced an uphill battle to Senate confirmation as President Joe Biden's point person on firearms regulation. Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) had previously told the Biden administration and Senate Democrats that he was not supportive of the nominee. Other moderate Democratic senators, including Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana, have also remained noncommittal on the pick.

Chipman, meanwhile, faced universal opposition from Senate Republicans. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), described the nominee as an "anti-gun extremist" and asked for the White House to withdraw his nomination.

The left is never put down. This was their litmus test. The next one will be even worse but with a pretty patina that will dazzle the Republicucks.

This wouldn’t have anything to do with the guy being a nut?

Only a psychopath would pose for a picture in front of burned Branch Davidians grinning like a lunatic.

Not to worry. Xiden’s puppeteers will undoubtedly pick someone worse.

Chipman is the ATF’s very own Peter Strozk. Disgusting punk.

Good. But we must be extra vigilant that the next nominee isn’t just as bad. And keep working hard to eliminate the unconstitutional agency once and for all. It’s very existence is a blight on America. Just like pi/ssing on our Bill of Rights.

Good. Now charge him with perjury. He lied to Congress and the American people when he said that he was issued an AR-15 as his rifle on the ATF SWAT Team.

I know a guy who was on the ATF SWAT Team. I’ve held his Select Fire, single, 3-round, Full-Auto M4 rifle. It’s not a $500 AR-15. Chipman is a liar and a perjurer.

Seems that RINOs came through here (all opposed him) and performed better than 95% of the Democrats (who supported him), who were ready to support him. Perhaps we can learn something about who really is more Leftist.

They will. Probably worse.
But they will be black. With tits. And good luck opposing that one.

Graham opposed Chipman as did every other GOP Senator and lying with King, Manchin and Tester. That’s why the nomination is being pulled.

You are mistaken. It’s the 5% democrats who are the good ones. No favor from the GOP.

Where are the Repulicnuks?

Other than the daily fund raising texts, which I can’t seem to opt out of since they change the numbers daily, I hear nothing from my reps or any other GOP minion.

Agreed. This guy is Grade A certifiable. Glad to see his nomination flushed.
