Harmeet Dhillon, who is now the United States Assistant Attorney General under Trump, and runs the civil rights division, just did an interview with Tucker Carlson that is at times fascinating and outrageous.
Dhillon tells Carlson that the civil rights division of DOJ is famously liberal and that when she made it clear that they were going to adjust the division to align with the Trump presidency, that hundreds of lawyers quit. The ones who stuck around, actually held ‘crying sessions’ to express their unhappiness over the new reality.
It’s like they are a bunch of liberal college students who created a safe space. Just pathetic.
Partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:
TUCKER CARLSON: Just so evil, it makes you think like, maybe we just burn the system down and start again. Thank you. Your assistant attorney general, one of the greatest appointments from my perspective in this administration, running the civil rights division, what was it like when you showed up? What did you find when you got there?
HARMEET DHILLON: Well, Tucker, first, I’ll say thank you for having me here. The Civil Rights Division is the sort of the the the color revolution wing of the Department of Justice, okay? You know, whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat administration, there are career lawyers who are very focused on a particular agenda there. And so when I showed up or when I was when the president was elected, I should say there are over 400 attorneys in the Civil Rights Division. And about 200 staff, so a total of about 600 people…
TUCKER CARLSON: So that’s the definition of the deep state, what you just described. It really is. Elections have no effect. It’s like, there’s no way to control these people. They act totally independently from the democratic system. I mean, that’s, that the problem right there.
HARMEET DHILLON: Well, that’s what I found. And so, you know, in response to my memos, of course, they began leaking to the press. They began having unhappy hours, which they would invite supervisors, political supervisors to, to make their point that they were unhappy. We got the point. And they had crying sessions, struggle sessions, crying sessions in the DOJ.
The whole interview is interesting, but if you want to see the part about the crying sessions, it comes at the 6:00 mark.
What Dhillon is describing here speaks volumes about the kind of people who have been embedded in our government for years. It’s one of the reasons that DOGE was so necessary.
