Five Attorneys General Send Letter To Biden Urging Him To Reject ‘Radical’ Nominee Vanita Gupta

Today, five attorneys general from Indiana, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma sent a joint letter to President Joe Biden urging him to withdraw his nomination of Vanita Gupta to be associate attorney general.

“As the chief legal officers of Indiana, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas, we write today to urge you to withdraw the nomination of Vanita Gupta for Associate Attorney General,” the letter states. “Ms. Gupta’s past comments and track record have demonstrated her disinterest in meaningful police reform in favor of destructive policies that would defund the police. Her nomination will further divide our nation instead of implementing policies to protect our communities and support law enforcement.”

The letter alludes to Gupta’s poor stance on law and order, given her support for defunding the police and for the openly Marxist organization Black Lives Matter.
