PJM.
Joe Biden will nominate Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) as secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the department notorious for railroading religious freedom via the Obamacare contraception mandate. Becerra has attacked religious freedom and free speech with zeal at the beck and call of radical Left activists in Planned Parenthood and other groups.

Becerra also vigorously defended a California law that mandated pregnancy resource centers (PRCs), most of which are pro-life, must advertise abortion on placards. In National Institute for Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra (2018), the Supreme Court struck down the law, defending the pregnancy centers’ free speech.
Becerra has received perfect scores from Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America for his tenure representing downtown Los Angeles in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2017. Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) nominated him for the attorney general role in 2016 when Harris won her election to the U.S. Senate. Planned Parenthood affiliates of California proudly endorsed Becerra for the 2018 primary.
Becerra also sued the Trump HHS after the agency struck down an Obama administration rule redefining “sex” in federal discrimination law. The Obama rule twisted the meaning of the term in order to force health care providers to encourage experimental transgender “treatments” like cross-sex hormones and surgery. The Trump administration restored the biological meaning of “sex,” but Becerra sued to force transgender ideology on the federal government.
Great. A pro-transgender (on our tax dollars), pro-abortion lackey. There is also this observation by David Codrea.
And guess what he’ll claim is a “public health issue.”
“Ghost guns are untraceable weapons that have been used in mass shootings throughout the country and right here in California — from Santa Monica in 2013, to Tehama County in 2017, and at Saugus High School just last year,” said Attorney General Becerra. “We can’t afford to wait for another tragedy to happen before we take action. It’s time for ATF to prioritize the safety of our communities by calling these products what they are: firearms, and regulating them accordingly.”
Can’t actually make things any more, folks. You know, things like pipes, mechanisms, boxes, and so forth.

Becerra is rabidly anti-gun and is also an open borders zealot.
Much like Keith Ellison, this man has no business being in a position to apply and enforce law.

I’m sure that Bacerra was a strong advocate for justice for Kate Steinle.

I’m sure Mitt and the Lincoln boys are rejoicing over this.

Don’t worry, if Biden gets to sit in the Oval Office none of his appointments will matter as it’s safeties off.

As a Californian, I see nothing from such an appointment but a revolving door of buffoons, fellow travelers and destructive, anti-American ideologues.
