Biden Nominee Nailed by GOP Senator Over Past Claim That All Americans Are Racist

A Biden nominee who has been zealous about painting the United States as a biased, racist nation, danced around her own words last week when confronted with them during her confirmation hearing.

Vanita Gupta has been nominated to be associate attorney general in the Department of Justice. However, as noted by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, she has used Twitter as a platform to equate Republicans with racists.

“Her Twitter feed has painted Republicans with a broad brush, describing our national convention last year as three nights of quote-unquote ‘racism, xenophobia, and outrageous lies,'” Grassley said last week, according to Fox News.

During the hearing, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas homed in on comments Gupta smugly defended on Twitter last year that said, in essence, that all Americans are biased.

“Last summer, nine months ago, you were in front of this committee and Senator Cornyn said, ‘Do you believe that all Americans are racist?’ You replied, ‘Yes, I think that we all have implicit biases and racial biases.
