“Obviously, Senate Democrats don’t care whether he made racist remarks during his tenure. They don’t care whether he created a racially discriminatory and hostile environment by making racist remarks.”
“Now, he may defend it,” Cruz continued. “But if he did, we don’t know, because this committee will not bother to hold hearings and ask him. So what this committee is talking about is an accusation of racism. If you are a party Democrat, then No problem at all. It’s not even worth asking.” [….]
“Mr. Chipman knew he was going on a communist propaganda show?” Cruz asked. “Does he know it will be used to propagate the destruction of the United States? Does he know it will be used as a propaganda to cover up Communist China’s brutality?”
“We don’t know. We don’t know because this committee has no chance to answer them. The committee leadership said they don’t care. It doesn’t matter. The truth does not matter. We have a partisan agenda to do. Don’t interrupt us to actually complete our work.”
We already know how bad this man’s extremist views of guns are; how he became a lobbyist for anti-gun organizations. But he just added another level of ugliness to the latest allegations. Durbin did not want to hold another hearing because he knew that if Cruz and others questioned him, his answer might make him even more frustrated, so Durbin adopted a cowardly approach.
Cruz and the Republican Party did a great job, listing all the facts on Chipman. Now, As we reported Some Democrats are not so excited about Chipman-they have not made up his mind on him. Senator Angus King (I-ME), who was in the caucus with the Democratic Party, said he did not support Chipman. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has not made up his mind on Chipman. In view of the split in the Senate, the Democrats need everyone to participate in order to pass Chipman, and it is completely unclear whether they have votes.
