Joe Biden’s administration is chock-full of radicals.
Biden said he would be a moderate, but he has advanced Barack Obama’s far-left agenda.
And a top Biden appointee just shockingly admitted lying to Congress.
Kristen Clarke, of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, was one of many controversial Joe Biden picks.
While in college, Clarke wrote about how white people were genetically inferior and invited radical speakers to campus.
Nevertheless, Clarke was confirmed by the Senate.
But now it has come to light that Clarke lied during her confirmation hearing.
Liar, liar
Clarke was asked in a questionnaire by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) if she had “ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person.”
Clarke responded, “No.”
However, that was a lie.
In 2006, Clarke was arrested for attacking her then-husband with a knife, allegedly slicing his finger to the bone.
Clarke’s messy divorce was finalized, and two years later, she had the arrest expunged from her record.
According to Maryland state law, it is not entirely clear if applicants have a duty to disclose expunged arrests, but the nonprofit organization Maryland Legal Aid advised that it was prudent to do so.
A group of Republicans in the Senate called for Clarke to resign in light of not being truthful in her testimony.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) wrote on social media, “Kristen Clarke is in charge of enforcing civil rights laws. 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.”
Lee is correct that Clarke has aggressively pursued pro-lifers with civil rights violations.
Lee added, “She lied under oath to mask her arrest for committing a violent crime, yet she zealously prosecutes peaceful pro-life protesters.”
Victim narrative
In light of the calls to resign, Clarke came forward and admitted that she lied.
However, Clarke claimed that she was the victim of domestic violence.
Clarke wrote in a statement, “Nearly 2 decades ago, I was subjected to years-long abuse and domestic violence at the hands of my ex-husband. . .This was a terrorizing and traumatizing period that I have sought to put behind me to promote my personal health, healing and well-being. The physical and emotional scars, the emotional abuse and exploitation, and the lying are things that no woman or mother should ever have to endure.”
Clarke’s ex-husband, Reginald Avery, has yet to comment, but he could dig the hole even deeper for her if he denies her account.
