Yesterday\u2019s hearing was unreal. Biden\u2019s Labor nominee, Julie Su, was the most evasive witness I\u2019ve ever seen. My 5 minutes of questioning turned into 20 as other committee members gave me their time so it could continue.<\/p>\n

The much-awaited hearing almost didn\u2019t happen. Last Friday, Su suddenly claimed she couldn\u2019t make it; we had to threaten a subpoena to get her to show. Chair Virginia Foxx, a former principal, opened the day with a\u00a0scathing reprimand<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I began by asking Su three questions: Which state has the nation\u2019s (1) highest poverty rate (2) lowest wage growth, and (3) second highest unemployment? Su\u00a0was stumped<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by each one; the answer to all of them, of course, is California \u2013 whose Labor Department she led.<\/p>\n

Things got strange when I turned to AB 5, the disastrous law that Su championed. I asked simply: is AB 5 a good law? She was somehow baffled by this question. You have to\u00a0see her reaction<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to believe it.<\/p>\n

Then I asked how she voted on Prop. 22. This was the initiative that let Uber and Lyft stay in California by sparing them from AB 5. Voters passed it in 2020 while Su was Labor Secretary. I couldn\u2019t\u00a0contain my disbelief<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as she claimed she\u00a0didn\u2019t remember<\/em>\u00a0how she voted.<\/p>\n

As to the $32 billion in unemployment fraud her agency allowed, she denied all responsibility \u2013 even as\u00a0I quoted<\/span><\/a>\u00a0independent audits and Democrat legislators blaming her directly. In fact, she could not name one thing she would have done differently.<\/p>\n

Newsom says California is a \u201cmodel for the nation,\u201d and by nominating Su, Biden again seems to have believed him. We know it\u2019s just the opposite: a warning to the nation. Yesterday\u2019s hearing sounded that warning loud and clear.<\/p>\n
