NAACP’s New Top Counsel Kristen Clarke Targeted Conservatives Under Biden Admin
The NAACP picked controversial Biden Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke as its new top attorney.
The NAACP picked a controversial Biden appointee to serve as its new top counsel.
The black advocacy group called former Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke a “civil rights giant” and “legal expert” in its announcement.
CEO Derrick Johnson praised Clarke’s “record of fearless advocacy, leadership, and deep commitment to justice” and said she will be an asset in fighting the Trump administration.
“As we face unprecedented attacks on voting and civil rights, having Kristen Clarke at the helm of our legal operations brings strategic vision, disciplined leadership, and innovative advocacy,” Johnson said.
But conservatives had a different reaction, remembering the way Clarke weaponized the Department of Justice against pro-life activists and others while leading the civil rights division under the Biden administration.
Clarke used the FACE Act to prosecute 26 pro-life protesters in 2022 alone. That same year saw scores of pro-abortion attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and Catholic churches (as @CatholicVote recorded), but zero charges.

“Clarke used the FACE Act to prosecute 26 pro-life protesters in 2022 alone,” Daily Signal editor Tyler O’Neil wrote on X. “That same year saw scores of pro-abortion attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and Catholic churches (as @CatholicVote recorded), but zero charges.”
O’Neil also knocked Clarke for working closely with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a discredited group that frequently labels Christians and conservatives as “hate groups.”
While at the Biden DOJ, Clarke also tried to stop states from protecting gender-confused minors from permanently damaging drugs and surgeries.
Clarke also twisted civil rights law to try to block states from protecting kids’ from experimental s*x-rejecting procedures. She claimed that defending kids’ right to develop naturally was a form of “discrimination.”

The new NAACP attorney “twisted civil rights law to try to block states from protecting kids’ from experimental s*x-rejecting procedures,” O’Neil wrote in a detailed X thread. “She claimed that defending kids’ right to develop naturally was a form of ‘discrimination.'”
In 2018, Clarke said it was “devastating” that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Colorado baker Jack Phillips, who challenged a state law that forced him to bake cakes for gay weddings. At the time, she was leading the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law.
She also signed an amicus brief asking the Court to allow Colorado to punish website designer Lorie Smith over her refusal to create materials for same-sex weddings. Smith won that religious liberty case in 2023, in the case called 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis.
O’Neil warned: “If NAACP thinks she’s a ‘civil rights giant,’ conservatives should expect more weaponization.”
Clarke has faced questions in the past about a past domestic abuse allegation. While she says she was the victim, her ex-husband alleged that she cut his “finger to the bone” in 2006.
In 2024, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) called on President Biden to fire Clarke for perjury, after she had sworn under oath that she had never been arrested or accused of a violent crime.
The new NAACP general counsel told CNN that she did not believe she had to reveal the expunged arrest.
“When given the option to speak about such traumatic incidents in my life, I have chosen not to,” Clarke said. “I didn’t believe during my confirmation process and I don’t believe now that I was obligated to share a fully expunged matter from my past.”

This seems like non news in some respects. It seems to be near the top of the list of unsurprising things I’ve read so far this year.
another aa / dei jd
Another angry black (plump not fat) female. Future lesbian maybe? Color me unsurprised.
Oh this is good. She has a colored past too.

I continue to watch all these progressive groups charge even farther to the left as if that was possible.
NAACP – a group of colored people that has outlived its usefulness except for grift. They should declare victory and go home or does race grifting still pay well.
“ Oh this is good. She has a colored past too.”
That’s past of color, you racist!
In another completely surprising move, NAACP elevates a black vagina-wielding far-far-left progressive with only negatives as accomplishments.
She wields a mean knife. Don’t know about her vagina.
Don’t want to know.
Racist racist blacks
Even worse, this creep worked to defend a vile industry created to “cull” minority populations. That was and still is Planned Parenthood’s business model, given the predominance of abortion facilities among minority populations. She is a disgrace.
The NAACP continues to descend into irrelevance. Supporting the Dhimmi-crats’ blatant “bigotry of low expectations,” and corrosive and self-defeating notions of perpetual and fallacious victimhood and grievance.
NAACP – Nazi Anti-American Communist Project?
Negroes Are Always Causing Problems
Know her type well. She’s all for “freedom”, as long as it’s white people being “freed” from their jobs, bank accounts, houses, and opportunities so she and her ilk can score petty political points. She’s the worst kind of mean, vindictive “Heather” there is—one who can’t get it through her head just how rotten she really is.
When the NAACP tells you who they are, believe them.
I don’t care what they did in the past. They are dead to me now.
Since the supply of racists seems to be unable to met demand it is logical for the NAACP to branch out into other areas like transing the kids to remain in the business of taking suckers money and doing nothing useful with it
Grooming is a proud parade and a milestone in social progress with “benefits”. #NoKinks
the black matriarchy is your mastas
A back… black hole… whore h/t NAACP at the intersection of racism and sexism… nexus of Diversity., Equivocation, and Indifference. Can they abort the baby, sequester the “burden”, and have her, too? American civil liberties unburdened.
Did these people have to face the FACE ACT??
A livestream video of the incident was posted online by Black Lives Matter Minnesota. Protesters were heard shouting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good” in the middle of services in front of shocked churchgoers.
…… intimidate or interfere with any person who is exercising or trying to exercise their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship, (3) the intentional damage or destruction of a reproductive health care facility or a place of worship.[1][2]
Unfortunately we will see her in numerous forms for many years to come.
