Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) warned us about Kristen Clarke. Cruz called the radical lawyer “completely unfit to serve,” but serve she does as the Biden Administration’s chief of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Her department is where equal justice now goes to die.
Clarke considers her calling in Biden’s Justice Department one of score-settling for past decisions, holding contemporaries responsible for historical injustices, and chasing ghosts of the past.
She greenlit the federal case against Mark Houck, a Pennsylvania Catholic pro-life author, whose seven children screamed for mercy for their “best friend,” their dad, as an estimated 20-25 FBI agents trained their rifles on him after beating on the family’s door at seven in the morning last Friday. According to LifeSiteNews, Houck was already aware that the Feds were after him and had offered to come in and talk with them. But gun-toting agents dragged him out and took him to a federal facility.
And it was Clarke who reached into the past and pulled out the more-than-a-year-old discredited case against Houck, whom a pro-abortion protester accused of “attacking” a man escorting abortion seekers. But that’s not how it went down. That story was such a put-up job that even Pennsylvania authorities threw out the case against Houck because it didn’t pass the smell test.
But Clarke, fueled by her upset over the Dobbs decision, which sent abortion decisions back to the states, reached back, shook off the dust from the Houck case, and sought to find a crime to fit the man. She found it in the 1994 so-called FACE Act.

The FACE act is now facially unconstitutional because the Feds have no general police powers and abortion is no longer a “civil right” the Feds are able to enforce.
Forgot about that but the DOJ should have thought about it.
The evil in society is ramping up these days. Felons go free while the innocent are political.y persecuted and destroyed.
And so he's going to do what?
Cruz always throws red meat out there, but there is just a practiced, debate style intonation and pattern that seems too unpassionate, it's like he is just playing a part. (Pence reminds me of the same thing) Cruz's vote on a recent internet bill make it seem more like he is a player, rather than a true believer.
Black fascist works for Jewish fascist at the top. Things are strange these days.

Per Wiki
Kristen M. Clarke (born 1975) is an American attorney who has served as the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the United States Department of Justice since May 2021. Clarke previously served as president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
She also managed the Civil Rights Bureau of the New York State Attorney General’s Office under Eric Schneiderman. In 2019, Clarke successfully represented Taylor Dumpson, the first Black American woman student body president of American University, in her landmark case against white supremacists.
President Joe Biden in 2021 selected Clarke as his choice to head the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. The U.S. Senate confirmed her nomination on May 25, 2021, by a vote of 51–48. Clarke made history as the first woman to be confirmed to lead the Civil Rights Division after she was sworn in the same day.
Clarke’s parents immigrated to Brooklyn from Jamaica. She has said that she “grew up in a household that was about discipline, working hard in school and about making the most of every opportunity”. Clarke was a member of Prep for Prep, a non-profit organization that looks to support students of color in accessing private school education.
She attended Choate Rosemary Hall, where she was the only girl to join the boys’ wrestling squad.
Clarke earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University, where she was president of the Black Student’s Association.
Clarke graduated from Harvard in 1997, then earned a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School in 2000.[16][17] After graduating she worked as a trial attorney in the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. In this capacity, she served as a federal prosecutor and worked on voting rights, hate crimes and human trafficking cases.
In 2006, Clarke joined the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, where she co-led the political participation group and focused on voting rights and election law reform. In 2011, Clarke was appointed director of the civil rights bureau of then Attorney General of New York, Eric Schneiderman, where she led initiatives on criminal justice issues and housing discrimination. Under this initiative, the bureau reached agreements with retailers on racial profiling of their customers, police departments on policy reform, and with school districts on the school-to-prison pipeline.
In 2015, Clarke was appointed president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.[18][20] One of her first roles was leading Election Protection, a voter protection coalition.[7] The New York Times described her as “one of the nation’s foremost advocates for voting rights protections.”[22]
In 2019, Clarke represented Taylor Dumpson, the first African American woman student body president of American University, in her lawsuit against avowed neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, who initiated a racist “troll storm” against her, making her fear for her life and disrupting her ability to pursue her education.[23][24] Clarke successfully fought for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to recognize that hateful online trolling can interfere with access to public accommodation, as well as securing damages and a restraining order.[23]
In early 2020, Clarke said that she was “deeply concerned that African American communities are being hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that racial bias may be impacting the access they receive to testing and healthcare.”[25] In the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, Clarke described the pandemic, record rates of unemployment and racial injustice caused by police brutality as a “perfect storm” for social unrest in the United States.[26]
Voting rights
Clarke handled the legal argument in district court in Shelby County v. Holder.[citation needed] In 2020, she testified before Congress about barriers to the vote.[27] She has advocated for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. She sued the United States Postal Service during the pandemic because of delays with ballots.[28] After John Lewis died, she called for honoring his life by passage of a bill to restore the Voting Rights Act.[29] She appears with Stacey Abrams in the 2020 documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy.[citation needed] In November 2020, LeBron James thanked her for supporting the work of his organization More Than a Vote.[citation needed]
LGBTQ rights
In 2015, Clarke opened an investigation into the Boy Scouts to look at the national group’s ban on openly gay adults and alleged hiring rejections based on sexual orientation in New York. The investigation was about “ensuring equal protection under the law for all New Yorkers, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals who live and work in New York.”
In July 2015, her office secured an agreement with the Boy Scouts of America to end their policy of excluding openly gay adults from serving as leaders in the organization. The terms of the agreement applied nationally. In an editorial with Chad Griffin, she called for policymakers and the public to treat the recent wave of hate-motivated violence toward trans women of color as a national crisis.
She supported a legal effort behind Cesar Vargas who became the first undocumented person to carry a law license in New York. She successfully sued the Trump administration when it tried to revoke Deferred Enforced Departure for Liberian Americans.
Hate speech
Clarke supported Facebook’s extension of its ban on hate speech to prohibit the promotion and support of white nationalism and white separatism.[44] Her advocacy led to a temporary shutdown of the Stormfront website,[45] a white supremacist website.[46] At a congressional hearing, she said white nationalism was about “real issues that are truly a life-and-death matter for far too many.”[47]
Hate crimes
Clarke sued the Proud Boys after they attacked the Metropolitan AME Church and other churches in Washington, D.C. A Black Lives Matter banner was stolen from the church and burned during a pro-Trump march on December 12, 2020. After the suit was filed, she said: “Black churches and other religious institutions have a long and ugly history of being targeted by white supremacists in racist and violent attacks meant to intimidate and create fear. Our lawsuit aims to hold those who engage in such action accountable.” She leads[when?] the James Byrd Jr. Center to Stop Hate at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Together with Spencer Freedman, she supervised the Religious Rights Unit at the New York State Attorney General’s Office. She exposed a member of the Proud Boys inside the East Hampton Police Department in Connecticut. She has fought for passage of the federal Anti-Lynching Prevention Law.
As a keynote speaker for Georgetown University’s Center for Jewish Civilization, she said: “White nationalism should be of profound concern to all Americans because it affects all communities and tears at the fabric of our nation.”
She attended Choate Rosemary Hall, where she was the only girl to join the boys’ wrestling squad.
Tucker Carlson and Fox News revealed a letter Clarke wrote to The Harvard Crimson as an undergraduate claiming that Blacks had “superior physical and mental abilities” due to their higher levels of melanin. Clarke said that the article was supposed to be a satirical statement about “fighting one ridiculous absurd racist theory with another ridiculous absurd theory.” A fact-check by Newsweek quoted her article as saying it was “in response to those who defend The Bell Curve,” however the fact-check concluded the article didn’t state that it was not serious. Former presidents of Harvard’s Black Students Association defended Clarke for considering Melanin theory worthy of inquiry.
During her confirmation hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland stated that Clarke’s skills and experiences would help the Department of Justice combat discrimination “in areas from housing to education to employment” and “ensure accountability for law enforcement misconduct.” During her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Clarke was criticized by Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn for her alleged writings in support of “Defunding the Police.”
Collins (R-ME) voted Yea to give her the job after an earlier rejection vote.
Another negro, immigrant. Is she a lesbo? How about a three-fer to go along with KJP.
Graham voted to confirm her.

With very few exceptions, it’s all about GETTING EVEN with Whitey now. I was about to look her up when another poster cleared it up for me....IMO, this can all be laid at the feet of obozo! We had the Black Panthers - the troubles they started died down, Rodney King - that died down - we had OJ - that died down but what obozo stirred up is here to stay!
If it’s COLOR mixed with the female species, forget it. That’s even worse! Does that make me a racist or a pragmatist? I speak as a female..
The 'NY State Atty Gen Office' has already reached infamy re: Donald Trump. Is there any way to get New York State to secede from the Union and join Cuba? Good riddance!
We should remind Kristen Clarke and Letecia James that Jesus warns us that That judgment by which you judge others is the same judgment by which you shall be judged. These people have a contract with H3ll!
