On Thursday conservative attorney Harmeet Dhillon was confirmed as the head of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. However, during the vote, there was one GOP senator who played the role of Benedict Arnold, being the only member of the party to vote against Dhillon in a 52-45 vote.
Who was that senator? Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski. You know, if she keeps leaning to the left like this, there’s a high probability she’ll end up losing her seat in the near future.
Sens. Tammy Duckworth from Illinois and Patty Murray of Washington abstained from casting a ballot, as did independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, all three of which are raging left-wingers.
Congrats to my former lawyer @HarmeetKDhillon on her confirmation as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. No one will fight harder to ensure that EVERY American has their civil rights protected. A fearless champion for justice!

“President Donald Trump recently chastised Murkowski and Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, both of Kentucky, due to their opposition to his tariff policies,” The Western Journal reported.
During her confirmation hearing, she said diversity, equity and inclusion policies created by government and private corporations are “illegal and unconstitutional.” When Trump announced he was appointing her, he said she has stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring Americans’ free speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID, and suing companies with discriminatory woke polices.
“Harmeet is one of the top Election lawyers in the Country, fighting to ensure that all, and ONLY, legal votes are counted,” President Trump said of Dhillon.
As of now, thanks to the current leadership of Pam Bondi over at the Department of Justice, serving as our attorney general, the Civil Rights Division is already undergoing massive changes in direction.
For example, the division is conducting probes into sanctuary cities and is halting proposed settlements with law enforcement departments that are involved in the controversial killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
It’s also doing the American people a solid by investigation the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department to see if they have violated gun rights protected by the Second Amendment.
The Center for American Liberty highlighted Dhillon’s promises she made during her confirmation hearing.
“I will start every analysis with the Constitution. I will respect the words of statutes, and the teachings of the courts, even if I disagree with them, though I will act within the law to challenge legal rulings I believe are wrong, or statutes that are unconstitutional,” she stated. “What I will NOT do, is use the DOJ Civil Rights Division as a partisan tool to push a political agenda. The Justice Department should stand for justice for all Americans.
“My parents crossed two oceans to bring me, as a small child, to America. We are Americans by choice, and I can think of no higher honor as a lawyer than to be charged with defending and advancing the civil rights of all Americans.”
Let’s hope she’s true to her word and helps preserve the rights and liberties for all American citizens. Notice the use of the word “citizens.” If you’re here illegally, you shouldn’t be provided our protections and should instead be sent back home. And that’s the end of the story.
