It's the old demand to "do what I say, not what I do." That's the Vanita Gupta way of doing things or demanding things be done.
President Biden's nominee for a top DOJ slot has long advocated for a $15 per hour federal minimum wage. For some reason, we should not be surprised to learn that she owns about a million dollars in stock in a company chaired by her father, Raj Gupta, that it pays its Mexican workers as little as $1.30 an hour for their labor.
Gupta's net worth is between $42 and $187 million, making her Sleepy Joe's richest nominee. She owns no less than $500,000 in Aptiv PLC, an international auto parts maker. According to active jobs listings reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, the company pays a portion of its workers a disgraceful $1.30 an hour.
One job posted on Indeed.com, for example, offers a line operator role at one of their plants in Zacatecas that pays the U.S. dollar equivalent of $260 A MONTH! for a 50-hour per week job.
If the plant was located in Manhattan, NY, that would just about cover the carfare getting to work. Hardly a livable wage. But on social media and in her nonprofit work, Gupta has incessantly expressed support for the $15 minimum wage and a "livable wage."
Now that Gupta's confirmation process is underway, she is facing greater scrutiny and things are bubbling up to the surface like unexpected bubbles in the bathwater.
Hopefully Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WVA) will reconsider his support for this hypocrite, but don't count on it.

Vanita Gupta, the Biden nominee for associate attorney general, who has called for the decriminalization of all drugs (although she denies it now because she has evolved), owns tens of millions of dollars in a company accused of fueling the Mexican drug cartels and heroin production.
“According to an August 2020 Bloomberg report, American company Avantor sold acetic anhydride to cartels that used it to make high-grade ‘china white’ heroin and methamphetamine,” Fox Business reported. She is a breaking bad babe if there ever was one.
“Biden’s pick for associate attorney general, Vanita Gupta, owns between $11 million and $55 million in the company’s stock, according to her financial disclosure form as reported by ABC News.”
That a lot of smack and pookie.
Following Bloomberg News’s report, Avantor apparently woke up and stopped all sales of the product in Mexico. It's almost as if they had no idea what that stuff was used to manufacture.
“Due to the potential for misuse of acetic anhydride outside of the regulated supply chain, the company has recently chosen to stop all sales of the product in Mexico,” Avantor said. “We have properly discarded all inventory of acetic anhydride in Mexico.”
Now nobody is saying that Avantor knew they were selling this stuff to the cartels and said that all the sales of the product are entities registered with Mexico's health regulator/
Interestingly, Raj Gupta, VANITA'S FATHER, is the CHAIRMAN OF AVANTOR!
And nobody is saying that Raj knew what was happening in the company in which he ran.
Vanita Gupta has previously expressed support for decriminalizing “all drugs” in small amounts, a position that she claims she now no longer supports because of things she experienced in her personal life. [The video below is worth your time to hear Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) destroy her at the confirmation hearing.]
When she was the ACLU deputy director in 2912, Gupta wrote that “states should decriminalize simple possession of all drugs, particularly marijuana, and for small amounts of other drugs.”
Watch Cotton discuss this with her and also watch him catch her in the Democrats' own trap over racism.
Sen. Cotton has focused his attention on trying to derail Gupta’s confirmation to the Department of Justice, where she would serve as the No. 3 official in the department.
“Vanita Gupta, President Biden’s nominee for Associate Attorney General, would make America less safe. She must be stopped,” Cotton posted on Twitter. “More than 83k Americans died from drug overdoses last year, but Gupta wants to ‘decriminalize’ possession of ALL drugs, even fentanyl. Opioids are already ravaging our communities—we shouldn’t give fentanyl, heroin, or cocaine dealers get-out-of-jail-free cards.”
“As recently as last summer, Vanita Gupta called to defund the police,” the Arkansas senator continued. “Her allies in the jailbreak industry—who are clamoring for access to the Biden DOJ—are now trying to deny what she said. But see for yourself where Vanita Gupta stands on defunding the police.”
In a Washington Post fact-check on claims Gupta made during her Senate confirmation hearing, the paper awarded her an Upside-Down Pinocchio for multiple flip-flops. In addition to claiming she no longer supports legalizing “all drugs,” the Post notes:
Gupta also claimed to have no view on qualified immunity, despite having pushed lawmakers to end it only months ago, when she described it as an abomination.
She reversed herself on defunding the police. In July, Gupta testified before the same Senate committee that state and local governments should “decrease police budgets and the scope, role, and responsibility of police in our lives” and shift resources “toward investments in economic opportunity, education, health care, and other public benefits.”
The Biden team says it was another issue she did not really believe in; she was merely communicating the consensus views of her coalition. Well, what did she believe in then? What does she believe in now? And how are observers supposed to tell the difference? For this tango of previously unacknowledged flip-flops, Gupta earns an Upside-Down Pinocchio.
Gupta, like most politicians, will do anything and say anything to get elected or appointed, in her case. That's exactly what Biden did as a make-believe moderate who now shows us he's a wild far-leftist with a lunatic agenda.
The wounds the left is going to impart on the nation are going to leave a mark.
