"Neomi Rao, President Trump's nominee to serve on the D.C. Circuit, gave testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee today. I asked her to explain her past writings where she discussed "myths of racial and gender oppression."'

"Ms. Rao wrote that "Myths of sexual and racial oppression propagate themselves, create hysteria, and finally lead to the formation of some whining new group." She has a troubling history of expressing cringeworthy views on race, gender, sexual assault, and LGBTQ issues."

"Ms. Rao also has very limited experience practicing law. She has never tried a case or argued an appeal, and she reported that she has only worked on three litigation matters in her entire career."

"As an academic and Trump Administration official, Ms. Rao has advocated for extreme views of Presidential power and has staunchly opposed regulations to protect Americans' health, safety, and environment."
