Trying to get a straight answer from a Biden nominee is painful. Are you sick of the game playing yet?
On Tuesday, Senator Cruz grilled one of Biden’s nominees for the bench, Kenly Kiya Kato about the morality of racial discrimination.
The Texas Senator asked: “Is racial discrimination wrong?”
Kato responded, “Senator, our Constitution prohibits race discrimination. Discrimination on the basis of race.”
Okay then.
Cruz repeated the question.
Kato said, “Senator as a judge, I don’t deal with issues of morality or whether something you —”
Cruz didn’t let her finish, saying “You have no views on whether it’s right or wrong?”
Kato couldn’t say: “Senator because that is an issue that is frequently litigated before the courts pursuant to Canon three of the Code of Conduct.”
She just can’t get the words out that racial discrimination is wrong. She can’t deal with morality in any way.
Watch:
Today I asked Kenly Kiya Kato, President Biden’s nominee to be judge of the Central District of California, if racial discrimination is wrong.
She was unable to answer that simple question. pic.twitter.com/Zgxe4MIjJU

She did finally say, “pursuant to Supreme Court precedent, race discrimination under the law is prohibited” but it would be easier to pull her teeth.
Cruz then went on to university admissions. There is a case before the Supreme Court to decide if discriminating against whites and Asians in admissions is now acceptable in this country.
Watch:
Top law schools are explicitly and brazenly discriminating against Asian Americans. I asked Biden district judge nominee Kenly Kiya Kato if that practice concerned her.
She declined to comment. pic.twitter.com/M0nMGqmKJY

Reading about Ilya Shapiro of Georgetown U Law Center in hot water for saying that Biden will pick poorly…Shapiro tweeted that Sri Srinivasan would be an ideal candidate for the Supreme Court, but isn’t qualified according to Joe Biden on grounds of race and gender, so we will get a “lesser black woman.” (H/T-DB)
The perpetual victims who have it so rough attending Georgetown are sitting-in and other gnashing and wailing demanding a scalp (figuratively for now), and this in the land of the former Redskins!
She answered by not answering? (sly grin)
Well played young Jedi Cruz, well played.
Democrats don’t believe Racial Discrimination is wrong. Democrats have been the party of racist since the 1820s. Just because Kenly Kiya Kato is of Japanese decent doesn’t mean she can’t be racist. If you spent a little time in Japan you would understand why.
