NAACP’s Latest Hire Reveals the Left’s Plan to Keep Weaponizing Civil Rights Law Against Conservatives
25th March 2026
After a years-long legal battle, the Supreme Court vindicated a Colorado Christian baker hounded by a “Civil Rights Commission” for the sin of refusing to craft a custom cake to celebrate a same-sex wedding. A woman by the name of Kristen Clarke found that ruling “devastating.”
Clarke, who would go on to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division under President Joe Biden, arguably grew to embody the weaponization of civil rights law against conservatives. Yet on Wednesday, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People hailed Clarke as a “civil rights giant” in announcing her new position as NAACP general counsel.
NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson said Clarke’s “record of fearless advocacy, leadership, and deep commitment to justice makes her the ideal general counsel to help chart our path forward.”
What, exactly, would shake the NAACP’s faith in Clarke’s “commitment to justice”? Would the NAACP reconsider if, hypothetically, Clarke had weaponized civil rights law against pro-life protesters, or worked closely with an anti-Christian smear factory, or twisted civil rights law to enforce transgender orthodoxy? Would this storied civil rights institution reconsider hiring her if, let’s say, she sliced open her husband’s hand in 2006 and then lied to cover it up in her Senate confirmation hearings?
