Embrace the Power of 'AND': Is Kristen Clarke Really This Ignorant or Just Lying?

The Biden administration has a long track record of putting completely incompetent people in high-profile positions. His list of judicial nominees includes a SCOTUS justice who cannot define a woman as well as another judge who doesn't know the difference between an injunction and a restraining order. Of course, we all remember Sam Brinton, who likes to dress in women's clothes and steal luggage, but somehow was in charge of nuclear waste. Karine Jean-Pierre, when she's not writing Biden's tweets for him, likes to display her incompetence daily in the White House Briefing Room. As for Vice President Kamala Harris ... well, that one pretty much speaks for itself.

More incompetence in the Biden administration was proudly on parade on Dec. 5 when Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Kristen Clarke testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight of the DOJ Civil Rights Division. She faced many challenging questions, particularly about the DOJ targeting pro-life activists.

Relatively speaking, Republican Rep. Dan Bishop asking her a few questions about the ongoing First Amendment case, Missouri v. Biden, should have been a walk in the park. But remember, these are Biden appointees we are talking about. Watch:

Let us get this straight...

DOJ’s U.S. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Kristen Clarke IS NOT familiar with Missouri v Biden, one of the most massive attacks on free speech in American history and the largest Supreme Court case this year.

Missouri v. Biden is currently in the hands of the Supreme Court of the United States. And Clarke, by her testimony here, isn't even familiar with it. A free speech case is being taken up by SCOTUS and the Assistant AG for Civil Rights can't answer any questions.

We wish we were joking here.

This is the gross incompetence you can expect when you hire for DEI quotas instead of actual ability and intellect.
Now imagine this in every level of society... engineering, computing, medicine, teaching, etc.
We are destroying ourselves through DEI and it needs to end. https://t.co/ocKFq8o9RR

She may have been hired for something other than her deep knowledge of important US jurisprudence on the most important civil liberty#FreeSpeech https://t.co/ysNxN2tbUy

Gee, ya think?

Of course, some people didn't think Clarke was being exactly honest in professing her ignorance.

Kristen Clarke is a liar.

This is likely the case (at least partially), but still. The brazenness of just declaring openly that you are not familiar with what lower courts deemed to be potentially 'one of the most massive attacks on free speech in American history' just screams that basic competence and knowledge are not job qualifications in the Biden administration.

My G-d; what is going on here…how is this an acceptable response….outrageous! https://t.co/JJVDsviIPd

We say that word often. Then we remember that they have no shame.

Let’s play!
Is she incompetent or corrupt? https://t.co/i89OHViudG

You know what this writer is going to say in response to that question:

Embrace the power of 'AND.'
