EXCLUSIVE: Senate Republicans To Press Biden’s EEOC Nominee For Representing BLM Anti-Police Activist Who Has History Of Trashing Law Enforcement

epublicans on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee plan on pressing President Joe Biden’s nominee for Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) during her hearing Tuesday on her ties to a client with a past of trashing law enforcement, the Daily Caller has learned.

Republicans, including North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, will grill nominee for EEOC Commissioner Kalpana Kotagal over her past political ties and public statements. Kotagal, a lawyer, represented a client named Liyah Brown who wanted to defund and abolish the police and said she believed they are a tool of white supremacy.

Brown serves as the legal director of the Texas Civil Rights Project’s (TCRP) Criminal Injustice Reform division and has made several statements in the past calling both police and prisons “institutions of White supremacy rooted in chattel slavery.” Brown also used to work for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a liberal organization.

The EEOC “investigates complaints of job discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, disability, age (40 or older), or genetic information,” according to its website. The EEOC also works to “prevent discrimination before it occurs.”
