People For Member,
The smear campaign against Vanita Gupta is in full swing. This past week during her Senate confirmation hearing, the Far Right tried to smear Gupta’s exceptional record – deliberately misconstruing her past to fit their deceitful narrative.
And unless we continue working in support of Vanita Gupta and push back on these false narratives, the Far Right might succeed in derailing her nomination.
Gupta was interrupted at least fifteen times by Republican Senators on the committee. Whenever she described or was questioned about her past experiences, her responses were mischaracterized with charged, offensive descriptors and dismissals. To anyone watching it was clear that the scrutiny and badgering she was experiencing were unlike that of President Biden’s other nominees.
The decades of experience Gupta has had as a civil rights leader and at the Justice Department defy the characterizations that the Far Right is trying to sell to the public. We cannot allow this attempt to smear and mischaracterize her exemplary career derail her confirmation.
Tell the Senate you support Vanita Gupta’s confirmation to the Department of Justice! >>
Gupta will be a fierce champion for justice and will bring back independence and integrity to the department. We need to make her fight our fight now.
In solidarity,
Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
