Biden nominees Becerra, Gupta targeted by conservative groups with high-dollar ad campaign
Fox News
A handful of conservative groups are aiming to block the confirmation of two of President Biden's most controversial nominees, using an ad campaign targeting lawmakers, their staff and their constituents.
Gupta, who in recent years has led the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, was selected to be the associate attorney general, the third-highest position in the Justice Department. Becerra, the current attorney general of California, is nominated to be the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. "When you look at his actions as attorney general, you see really a pattern of going after religious liberty exemptions, forcing abortion nationwide," Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson said of Becerra. "And that's kind of the point, because he's getting an activist, if you will, for the progressive left his entire career."More Related News
