Chairman of the House Judiciary’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Suggests White Male National Guardsmen Could Pose Threat To Biden’s Life

Article here. Excerpt:

'Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) suggested during an interview on Monday morning that in vetting the National Guard for potential threats against President-elect Joe Biden, officials should first look for supporters of President Donald Trump within the Guard’s ranks. He also specifically linked their presumed support for Trump to their skin color and gender.

Cohen, who is the chairman of the House Judiciary’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, made the remarks during a CNN interview with host Jim Sciutto.

“But, that’s far — to have voted for Trump does not make you an insider, that’s far different from being a threat of violence inside — whether the national guard or law enforcement. I’m curious, is there anything you’ve seen to substantiate just how broad this insider threat may be, if it exists,” CNN host Jim Sciutto responded.

“Absolutely not, Jim,” Cohen responded. “But you know, you draw a circle, the first circle is people who were for Trump and not for Biden as far as people who would be within the zone of folks who you’d be suspect of,” Cohen said. “That suspect group is large.”'
