Joe Biden to Tap California AG Xavier Becerra for HHS Secretary

Breitbart

. . . "Becerra, who succeeded Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as California attorney general, is also a proponent of abortion on demand and, like Harris, has received campaign contributions from Planned Parenthood.

"Once Harris became a U.S. senator, Becerra continued her prosecution of David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) after the video journalists exposed Planned Parenthood officials and their associates in the biomedical procurement industry discussing fetal tissue harvesting and sales. CMP was accused of recording confidential conversations.

"In 2017, Becerra, according to the Los Angeles Times, touted his office “will not tolerate the criminal recording of confidential conversations.”

“ 'The right to privacy is a cornerstone of California’s constitution, and a right that is foundational in a free democratic society,” he added.

"However, in May, Daleiden filed a federal lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, Harris, Becerra, and others in the abortion industry seeking “justice for a brazen, unprecedented, and ongoing conspiracy to selectively use California’s video recording laws as a political weapon to silence disfavored speech.' ” . . .

Cotton: HHS Nominee Becerra Will Be Biden’s ‘Lockdown Enforcer’ — ‘The Senate Ought Not to Confirm Him’

Joe Biden's Pick for HHS Head Is Absolute Garbage, Republicans Must Reject Him "If Joe Biden takes office in January, a hopefully GOP led Senate (assuming the Georgia run-offs turn out well) will get an immediate test of their mettle. That’s going to come in the form of Biden’s nominees, which appear to only be getting worse and worse. Neera Tanden to head the Office of Management and Budget was ridiculous enough. You’ll recall that she was a primary spreader of Russian collusion conspiracy theories and was also caught outing a sexual harassment victim (see Biden Wants a Wild Conspiracy Theorist as OMB Head, Republicans Laugh Uncontrollably)." . . 

. . . "Becerra has no experience in the health sector, instead serving as a political hitman on the legal front for California’s left-wing leadership. You may remember his name because he’s the same guy who tried to prosecute people for revealing Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts. "...

The Associated Press wondered openly on Tuesday whether California Attorney General Xavier Becerra is actually up to the job for which Joe Biden has chosen him — namely, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
