Font Size: Every Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee signed a letter Thursday demanding a new hearing for President Joe Biden’s pick to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms following allegations the nominee made a racist comment while working at the agency around 2007. The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported on June 22 that the pro-gun control nominee, David Chipman, allegedly told a former ATF agent that Black agents “must have been cheating” on a promotional assessment because an “unusually large number” had passed the exam. The former agent told Tom Jones, the president of the American Accountability Foundation, that he was so “incensed” upon hearing Chipman’s remarks that he reported the incident to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
