Wow. TV actor Tucker Carlson exposes weird, racist writings by Joe Biden's Assistant AG nominee.

She should not be cancelled because of what she did as a college student over two decades ago.

Yes yes, the new leftist mantra. Racists on the left are now social justice warriors.

Made me sick to my stomach a couple of weeks ago Stacy Abrams on national TV called Raphael Warnock a social justice warrior. Raphael the open antisemite, pro Nation of Islam, pro Castro, member of the American military cannot also serve God, cover up a child abuse scandal at a summer camp Warnock.

He didn't say it. She did and she is a racist. She needs to be removed asap.

But but but Trump.

Just like blm and their selective, cherry picking of which black lives matter. Black on black murder, cool. White cop on black murder, outrage!!!!!!!

That's some wishful whataboutism right there and it just goes to show you how people tend to fall for the same intellectual traps.

Let's address this properly - the paper is obviously embarrassing and represents a lapse in Biden's team on proper vetting since this should have come up in basic op research. I doubt Biden had much to do with this pick personally, it was probably recommended to him as a vetted candidate so I don't really hold this against him unless proven otherwise.

It was an undergrad paper, and it's certainly true that undergrads are the dumbest people in existence. Since it was so long ago and most people tend to grow out of that, I'm willing to give her a pass if she denounces it and clarifies her mission as assistant AG.

That's an opinion piece.

I don't speak for Kristen Clarke, don't know her, but its so easy to fall victim to the anti-semite card.

When Jewish expats (all over the world) stop banding together in 1st world ghettos, when they stop forcing themselves into local govt of every settled city and/or monopolising development, when they stop judging people on material worth etc etc...

....then maybe cry the anti-semite persecution angle.

A lot of real racism just happens as matter of fact every day, to people that genuinely are trying to 'fit in', for no other reason than perceived heritage.

^ he hate da joos, eh

TV actor Carlson defended Trump all the way up to the point of insurrection but he is shocked (and he doesn't take that term lightly) about what this women wrote in college in 1994.

He says all that without realizing the irony.

I suspect a lot of Woke liberals are just as racist as they ever were - here, we have Woke that is a clear anti-semite - and its really only black people they are "woke" about.

You pointed out Tucker Carlson's clear hypocrisy, but in doing so, as often happens, you exposed your own as well. Racists are horrible people, except when they are black, in your book.

Kristen Clarke is on record as saying she believes Asian-Americans, for example, have lesser mental, physical and spiritual abilities than black people. If she can't adequately explain and renounce her previously held beliefs, and frankly even is she can, Biden should find another black woman to head the Civil Rights Division.

Maybe a good policy going forward is the candidate would name their cabinet nominees before the election. That seems pretty important to understanding the administration since the president is just 1 person and is relying on those around them.

Biden's picks to point so far has been god awful. On foreign policy, which is the one area Trump actually did well in, we are seeing a return to the same failed policy of the Bush/Obama era. Somehow we have the former FED chairmen running the treasury, if you don't understand just how big of a problem that is, trust in 4 years you will. Then to round things out we have a mishmash of unqualified people meant to satisfy a special interest or segment of the Biden coalition. Call me old fashioned for wanting the most qualified person who will work well in the framework of the administration regardless of gender, race, etc.

This administration will be a disaster and likely this very fragile coalition the Democrats built to get them across the line will rip themselves apart. My hope is as that happens we manage not to get sucked into another of these regime-change wars or have more infringement on American Freedoms. The latter seems extremely unlikely.

I like the idea, but it would be easy to work around it. Remember Trump named the best and least corrupt cabinet ever, only to fire everyone and replace every key hire several times over because of their stupidity.

That wouldn't surprise me. It's also hard to imagine the Republican party holding things together after Trump is cast to the curb by the Republicans who don't support the insurgency.

You dont believe any of that.

I know what you actually believe.

If you actually look at what she said in the context of 1994, she really wasn't saying that Blacks are superior. She was trying to take a shot back at the Bell Curve theory of race science which was published the same year. The Bell Curve claimed that blacks were genetically inferior and any government policy aimed at equity was doomed to fail because there was basically no way to help black people due to their inherited intellectual inferiority. Clarke was just trying to provide evidence to dispute Murray's conclusion that blacks are inferior. Her only sin was engaging with the theory of race science, which is bullsh#t through and through. But that is what you do when you are in college.

And if conservative's objection to Clarke is based on some opinions she had 26 years ago, they can go f#ck themselves. Conservatives have been railing on for the past 4 years about how cancel culture is ruining the US. But this is by definition cancel culture. Nothing Clarke has done since college would suggest that she is anything other than an extremely talented attorney who has been very successful in litigating civil rights cases. Yet, here come the conservatives all bent out of shape over Trump and other white supremacists getting kicked off social media for fomenting a coup against the US and waxing on poetically about the importance of free speech while trying to destroy the career of a highly competent and qualified black woman just because she had the nerve to have opinions in college.

So you're suggesting satire then.

I'm not convinced. She invited apparently welcomed Tony Martin at Harvard for a speech shortly after he wrote The Jewish Onslaught where he argued the Bell Curve theory was actually a big Jewish conspiracy (the guy is a full blown lunatic and legendary anti-Semite and Holocaust denier). Much of what her paper talks about aligns with what Martin wrote. I don't see much room for irony and if it was then she must have forgotten to spring the final literary trap on the reader for realization.

Like I said, undergrads are hilariously stupid and love to say dumb sh!t like this all the time. I don't hold it against her now, but it's clearly embarrassing and she should potentially address it and clear the air. That's part of being a public official. Now you don't want to give credence to any out--of-context crank pot theory, but I don't see anything controversial in setting this straight.

Except that she literally said exactly that, in writing, on record.

As for the 2nd point, I'm guessing you fought against Justice Kavanaugh based on a recovered 30 year old memory of something he may have done, but not exactly sure if it was him or what year it was or where it was, when he was a teenager. Or did you argue for him because he was a talented and successful attorney since college?

You seem to have left out the violence - 400 years of it - that led to the BLM protests, which is the killings of black people by law enforcement and white vigilantes. Selective memory.

Victim mentality never did anyone any good.

Let me guess you are a white guy feeling guilt on behalf of blacks?

Is this the same Fox host who Fox argued in court that he cannot be believed by viewers because they should know it is an entertainment show, not a news show?
