The confirmation hearings for most of Joe Bidenâs nominees havenât been going well for them, and that theme continued earlier today as Senator Josh Hawley appeared to catch one lying under oath.
Hawley quoted Colleen Joy Shogan, who is the nominee to serve as archivist of the United States, as saying that her personal Twitter account was composed of posts about mystery novels, events at the White House historical association, Pittsburgh sports teams, travels, and her dog - which she agreed was an âaccurateâ characterization.
Hawley then quoted one tweet from her bemoaning the dropping of mask mandates for children under five - which she nonsensically tried to claim didnât contradict her past characterization of her feed because they were in her âpersonal capacity.â
When further confronted on her politically charged posts, she repeated the same line numerous times, and wouldnât directly answer questions from Hawley.
Watch below:
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee previously voted on Shoganâs confirmation last September, but they deadlocked 7-7.
