David Chipman, Joe Biden’s choice to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, is in danger of not being confirmed in the Senate thanks to his work with an anti-Second Amendment group and his withholding of vital information during confirmation hearing.
Several moderate Democratic senators, including Angus King of Maine and Jon Tester of Montana, don’t believe that Chipman can work with the gun industry. Other Democrats like Senators Joe Manchin question his veracity after Chipman withheld the fact that he made an appearance on Chinese state-run propaganda outlet that was used by the Communists to explain away a mass stabbing.
“Earlier this week, news reports indicated that Mr. Chairman had failed to disclosure to our colleagues on the Judiciary Committee a TV appearance he made several years ago,” stated Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “And this wasn’t just any TV appearance. Mr. Chipman had granted the interview to a propaganda network overseen by the Chinese government.”
Fox News:
McConnell also expressed concerns over new racially discriminatory comments Chipman allegedly made regarding personnel decisions. A report by The Reload recently corroborated allegations that Chipman made racially insensitive comments about the promotion of Black ATF agents in the past.
“Among some current and former ATF agents he’s earned a concerning reputation as ‘a bully, an activist.’ His extreme views threaten to undermine the trust an agency needs to conduct oversight. And sources at the ATF have also come forward describing allegedly racially discriminatory comments that nominee made in the workplace, regarding personnel decisions.”
But Republican opposition isn’t really Biden’s main problem. Biden has to convince Democrats to support his man, and it doesn’t look good at this point. There is little chance that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will bring the nomination to the Senate floor before the August recess

They are going to trigger an incident in August. The FBI has a nut in their pocket.
It’s a good thing some Democrats are getting cold feet because Flimsey Grahamnesty has voted for every lunatic his friend Senile Joe has appointed.
“a propaganda network overseen by the Chinese government”
A rather long way to say “CNN”!;)
He’s another ‘Rat Commie, Jim.
Line his pockets a little an King will fold like a cheap suit.
The guy is a freakin nutcase
Run him out of DC.
“ Can’t imagine anybody worse taking the slot?”
If they don’t get this one, the next one will be worse, just more stealthy
If appointed, this man will push the Country into a bloody Civil War. Pure insanity to select a candidate like this.
Brady herself maybe.
Sarah would definitely be less mouthy than this Chipman bitch.
That’s chilling.
BATF Chief in Serious Trouble in the Senate.
Now the democrats have to find another way to arm BLM and other groups?.
Another FReeper said this and I repeat, the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) should be a convenience store.
