President Biden’s pick for the number three position at the Department of Justice apologized on Tuesday for her past “harsh rhetoric” as she faced an icy reception from Senate Republicans over her civil rights legal work and advocacy.
GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee attacked Vanita Gupta, who was nominated for associate attorney general, at her confirmation hearing, seeking to paint her as an extremist, even as she touted bipartisan support from police unions and conservative figures.
Gupta expressed regret for some of her comments during the Trump era and pointed to her record in bringing together ideological rivals when she led the DOJ’s civil rights division under the Obama administration.

While leading the group, she was an outspoken critic of the Trump administration’s agenda and Senate Republicans’ efforts to jam through scores of controversial judicial nominees.
