The embattled Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives was rocked again this week when an insider favored for the bureau's top job was abruptly demoted after being passed over a second time by President Joe Biden.
Reports said that acting Director Marvin Richardson, the highest-ranking black man at the agency who had 30 years of experience with ATF, announced Monday that he was being shoved aside by the White House. Biden last week chose a white lawyer to head the sprawling law enforcement agency after his first pick, another white male, bowed out under pressure.
Considering Biden's pandering on People of Colour whenever possible, why? I suspect this:
Richardson had a base of support in the agency for the top job because of his law enforcement experience, years as a manager of the 5,000-employee agency, and balanced relationships with the gun industry.
A balanced relationship isn't what Biden wants, he wants someone who's willing to twist and break the law and regulations.
Wonder if the Usual Suspects will scream at Biden for passing over the black guy, or stay quiet because most of them want the political hack just as much as Biden?
