After Attorney General Merrick Garland and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona came for American parents, a new "ParentGate" campaign is coming for them courtesy of the Constitutional Rights PAC. The Wednesday announcement said that the initiative would demand the impeachment of the two men, who are alleged to have conspired with the National School Boards Association to go after parents who speak up in opposition to critical race theory, face masks, and gender ideology at school board meetings.

The charge against the Biden appointees is that they are seeking to deny parents of their rights to free speech enshrined in the First Amendment.

Founding Member of the ParentGate Coalition David Dudenhoefer said that "There has never in the history of our country been such a blatant attempt by cabinet-level members of an administration to target innocent Americans, label them as 'domestic terrorists,' persecute and prosecute them, and deprive them of their constitutional rights as we have seen in the malevolently orchestrated Garland-Cardona-NSBA ParentGate conspiracy."

The goal of the ParentGate initiative is to bring pressure to bear on federal legislators to bring impeachment proceedings against the progressive appointees. For Larry Ward, Chairman of the Constitutional Rights PAC, it is Garland and Cardona who are particularly complicit in coming after parents, both before and after the notorious NSBA letter.

"Mr. Garland and Mr. Cardona are clearly guilty of conspiring with the National School Board Association to deny parents nationwide of the First Amendment rights to freedom of speech," Ward said. "And then lying about it after the fact. The one million members of the Constitutional Rights PAC will not rest until both Cardona and Garland are duly impeached and removed from office."

The National Public Radio reporter behind a story about face masks and the Supreme Court that the justices themselves have denied remained defiant on Thursday after one of NPR’s own editors criticized her story.

Nina Totenberg, NPR’s veteran legal affairs correspondent, had an intense reaction to NPR’s public editor Kelly McBride saying the story “merits a clarification, but not a correction,” without which NPR risks losing credibility with readers.

“She can write any goddamn thing she wants, whether or not I think it’s true,” Totenberg told The Daily Beast. “She’s not clarifying anything!”

She laughed and then added, “I haven’t even looked at it, and I don’t care to look at it because I report to the news division, she does not report to the news division.”

McBride penned an article on Thursday criticizing Totenberg’s “word choice” in her SCOTUS report.

“After talking to Totenberg and reading all justices’ statements, I believe her reporting was solid, but her word choice was misleading,” McBride wrote.

In her story, which has has been widely challenged since publication, Totenberg reported that Chief Justice John Roberts “in some form asked the other justices to mask up” because Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has diabetes, did not feel safe being close to people who were unmasked.

Furthermore, Totenberg reported that Justice Neil Gorsuch, who sits next to Sotomayor on the bench, has not been masking up, and his “continued refusal” has meant that Sotomayor has participated in court business remotely.

The NPR report has not been clarified or corrected despite Sotomayor and Gorsuch releasing a joint statement saying she did not ask him to wear a face mask.

“Reporting that Justice Sotomayor asked Justice Gorsuch to wear a mask surprised us. It is false. While we may sometimes disagree about the law, we are warm colleagues and friends,” the two justices said in their statement.

Roberts later released a statement as well saying he “did not request Justice Gorsuch or any other justice to wear a mask on the bench.”

“The NPR report said the chief justice’s ask to the justices had come ‘in some form.’ NPR stands by its reporting,” the story reads.

Later on NPR’s news program “All Things Considered,” Totenberg changed the wording of her report to say that Roberts “in some form or other suggested” that the other justices wear a mask.

“Totenberg and her editors should have chosen a word other than ‘asked.’ And she could have been clear about how she knew there was subtle pressure to wear masks (the nature or even exact number of her anonymous sources) and what she didn’t know (exactly how Roberts was communicating),” McBride added in her article criticizing Totenberg’s phrasing.

“In the absence of a clarification, NPR risks losing credibility with audience members who see the plainly worded statement from Roberts and are forced to go back to NPR’s story and reconcile the nuances of the verb ‘asked’ when in fact, it’s not a nuanced word,” the NPR public editor added.
