WATCH: Biden’s ATF nominee can’t define what assault weapons are
The Biden administration’s nominee for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives wouldn’t give the Senate Judiciary Committee a definition of assault weapons. Nominee David Chipman faced off with Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) during the hearing Wednesday.
“I’ve got 35 seconds left, define it for me would you please sir?” Kennedy asked. “What’s an assault weapon?”
Chipman cited the bill to ban assault weapons, saying it’s dozens of pages long. “There’s no way I could define an assault weapon,” he said.
“You’re going to run this agency and you don’t have a definition of assault weapon?” Kennedy asked.
“But I would be enforcing the definition that Members of Congress pass,” Chipman said.
“If you won’t answer my question how can I vote for you?” Kennedy said.
In fact, the Senate hasn’t agreed on a single nominee for this position for the last 15 years. There have only been acting directors all this time.

Sara Carter joined Sean Hannity from the picket line after President Joe Biden’s “brief” few minutes of support with the United Auto Workers strike in Michigan. Biden spent a “whopping 12 minutes with those UAW workers outside the plant today” said Carter.
“And I can tell you the time I spent with hundreds of workers walking up and down that line it was stunning to see how they had turned on the administration none of them actually bought the visit they thought it was more political than it was supportive” she added about her discussions with workers on the ground.
“It’s all about votes, trying to get votes” said one worker. “It’s a show” said another. Individuals also lamented “they didn’t forget about us During the pandemic. We were building cars and trucks, we were working” only to be left behind now.
Carter said it was evident that immediately after the brief show of “support” Biden immediately left, and got straight on his plane to head to Silicon Valley for a fundraiser.
