McConnell Demands Biden Drop his Radical ATF Nominee After Alleged Racist Statements Revealed

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell demanded that President Biden rescind his nomination of David Chipman as head of the ATF citing allegations that he has made racist comments in the past.

As The Daily Wire reports:

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called on the White House Friday to rescind David Chipman’s nomination to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms over allegations that Chipman “made racist statements about the abilities of African American ATF agents.”

…

The Reload, however, reported last week that Chipman is facing allegations of racism stemming from his time at the ATF in Detroit, Michigan.

Chipman was asked, during hearings, about two Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) complaints he received during his tenure at the ATF. Chipman said only that the complaints were “resolved without any finding of discrimination and no disciplinary action was taken against me.”

A conservative group, the Daily Caller reported, has filed a lawsuit seeking those complaints, after learning that records could be “related to an incident around 2007 in which Chipman allegedly made a derogatory comment about black ATF agents performing too well on a selection exam.”

Is it just a coincidence that a man with allegations of racism against him is also a notorious gun grabber?
