Watchdog Group Sues For Records Relating To Derogatory Comments Biden’s ATF Pick Allegedly Made Against Black Agents

Daily Caller: A conservative watchdog group filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit Tuesday for records that could shed light on an incident in which President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allegedly made a derogatory comment about black agents.

The pro-gun control nominee, David Chipman, told Sen. Ted Cruz in writing that he received two Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) complaints during his 15 years as a manager with the ATF. Chipman said the complaints were “resolved without any finding of discrimination and no disciplinary action was taken against me.”

Chipman added that his ATF personnel file is under the control of the federal government, but he did not answer when asked if he would be willing to provide his file to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The ATF declined to comment to the DCNF.

Tom Jones, the president of the American Accountability Foundation, said he filed two FOIA requests with the ATF in May requesting records related to any complaints and disciplinary measures taken against Chipman during his 25-year tenure with the agency. The AAF’s lawsuit said the ATF failed to produce the records in the timeframe allotted by the law, despite Chipman’s acknowledgment in his written statement to Cruz that the federal government has control of his personnel file.

Jones said AAF’s FOIA lawsuit could produce records related to an incident around 2007 in which Chipman allegedly made a derogatory comment about black ATF agents performing too well on a selection exam. more

  1. I saw a re-voiced hearing aid commercial last nite that made me giggle (can’t find the link) –

    Father: Uhwhut?
    Son: Fuck David Chipman!

  2. Chimpman a tool of the anti-gun lobby, an arrogant government paid regulator willing to make millions of law abiding citizens criminals if they exercise their Constitutional rights.
    Chipman would treat you just as he did those men, women and children murdered at Waco, Texas. The absolutely the worst candidate to lead an outlaw government agency like the ATF.

  3. The asshole WORKED for the brady campaign, and also “Allegedly” lost his duty firearm & lied about doing so.
    Do we really need ANOTHER fuckup to head a government agency, especially since joe’s already in the WH?
