Sen. John Kennedy gets Biden judicial nominee to admit lying to exploit and worsen racial tensions

President Biden has nominated Nusrat Choudhury to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of New York:

President Joe Biden announced the nomination of Nusrat Jahan Choudhury to the federal judiciary Wednesday, who, if confirmed by the Senate, would become the first Muslim American woman to serve as a federal judge. She is also the first Muslim American woman to be nominated to the federal judiciary.

Choudhury was nominated to sit on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and is also the first Bangladeshi American to be nominated to the federal bench. She would be the second Muslim American appointed to a federal judgeship, according to the White House announcement.

During the Biden nominee’s confirmation hearing, Republican Sen. John Kennedy confronted her with a claim she made at Princeton, and then the squirming began:

Sen. John Kennedy: "Do you believe cops kill unarmed Black men in America every single day? You said it at Princeton."

Judicial nominee Choudhury: "I said it in my role as an advocate to make a rhetorical point."

So “advocates” can give incorrect information intentionally if they’re making a “rhetorical point”? That still sounds like a lie to us.

Reminder that core tenet of the woke agenda is deliberately lying about problems to radicalize the public and justify extremist policy demands. https://t.co/bNAKcaiAcB

Exactly, and Sen. Kennedy helped expose that big time.

So she is an admitted liar and demagogue, who was willing to exploit and exacerbate racial tensions for her own interests. Absolutely not someone who should be a federal judge. https://t.co/BDQpuMuU8E
