Someone ought to put her up for the Margaret Sanger Award. I doubt she would understand just what she was actually being awarded for.

During Clarke’s confirmation hearings, Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton asked Clarke: “Since becoming a legal adult, have you ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person?”

Clarke responded, “No,” according to responses she submitted to the Senate under oath in a document called “Questions for the Record.”

On Tuesday evening, Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee called for Clarke’s resignation.
“Kristen Clarke is in charge of enforcing civil rights laws,” Lee said in a statement posted to X. “She enforces those laws aggressively against anyone who sneezes near an abortion clinic. And not at all against those who vandalize churches. She lied under oath during her confirmation proceedings, and should resign.”

“She lied under oath to mask her arrest for committing a violent crime, yet she zealously prosecutes peaceful pro-life protesters,” the senator added.

Kristen Clarke lied and must step down from the DOJ — NOW

By Post Editorial Board / Published May 2, 2024

DOJ official Kristen Clarke admitted that she lied during her Senate confirmation process in 2021. When you work for Joe Biden, laws really are for the little people — even when you’re in charge of enforcing them.

Witness Justice Department civil rights chief Kristen Clarke, who’s admitted that she lied during her 2021 Senate confirmation process. Asked by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in a questionnaire if she had “ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person,” Clarke answered no. In fact, she had been — on a 2006 domestic violence complaint when she allegedly sliced open her hubby’s finger with a knife. Clarke’s now arguing that because the arrest was expunged, she wasn’t required to disclose it to lawmakers. That’s precisely the kind of razor-sharp logic that top Biden appointees are known for.

Then again, Clarke’s the same dunderhead who muffed a major question about First Amendment litigation last year, claiming in a congressional hearing to be totally unaware of the lawsuit by the state of Missouri against the president over government efforts against “disinformation” — a huge civil rights issue where Team Biden had lost and was appealing to the Supreme Court.

Her defense now is beyond pathetic. She told an unambiguous lie to Congress. Was she thinking she’d never get caught, or that if she did, her political connections would protect her? It’s of a piece with the overall attitude of Biden’s circle: If you have the power, laws don’t apply to you.

That a scofflaw like this should serve at such a high level in the Justice Department is beyond absurd. How can someone who seemingly lies under oath be trusted with seeing that laws are properly enforced and justice is truly served?

Not that Clarke’s previous record was stellar. She lobbied the Obama administration, way back in 2009, to let Black Panthers who terrorized black poll workers off the hook. She served on an academic journal (did she plagiarize?) with antisemitic 9/11 truther Amiri Baraka, and lied about that too.

In other words, she’s a radical to the bone. But that’s a plus in this administration: Biden has remade Justice into the enforcement arm of his political agenda, siccing the FBI on (for example) parents who protest school boards. Ideology is what matters, not integrity.

excerpt-—Clarke has dedicated her career to strengthening democracy by combating discrimination faced by African Americans and other marginalized communities.

She has written many articles and books including chapters in Barack Obama and African American Empowerment: The Rise of Black America’s New Leadership and Seeking Higher Ground: The Hurricane Katrina Crisis, Race and Public Policy Reader where she also served as co-editor of both volumes.


Does she know ousted Harvard plagiarist Claudine Gay?
Did Ckarke plagiarize her numerous law journal opinions on discrimination?

Through its various rulings since 1947's Everson v. Board of Education, (Wall of Separation nonsense) which banned God from public schools, I hold Scotus largely responsible for the horrid coarsening of American society.

Yes. The only difference between our current Gov. and the old school Nazis and Commies is that NOW they ruin your life with a big smile.
