House Republicans Say Biden’s ATF Pick Should Be Disqualified For ‘Alarming Ignorance’ And ‘Anti-Gun Bias’
MAY 27, 2021 By Gabe Kaminsky
President Joe Biden’s pick to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has resulted in Republican blowback. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida told The Federalist that David Chipman is unfit to serve in a role concerned with public safety and Second Amendment rights.
“During his confirmation hearing, Mr. Chipman demonstrated an alarming ignorance of the very guns he wants to ban, and showed a clear anti-gun bias, both of which are disqualifying attributes for the important position of ATF director,” Scalise said. “Sadly, this is not the first Biden administration nominee who lacks a basic comprehension of the agency they have been nominated to oversee.”
