President Biden’s nominee for archivist of the United States encountered Republican opposition Tuesday over her social media posts that included gun-control advocacy and her advice to a liberal activist on how to remove a religious flag from the grounds of the Library of Congress.
Colleen Shogan had told lawmakers on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that she locked her Twitter account prior to her confirmation hearings because it contained only personal views on matters such as mystery novels, her favorite Pittsburgh sports teams and her dog.
Mr. Hawley accused Ms. Shogan of lying to Congress under oath and said he will oppose her nomination. She pledged to Sen. Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, to get to the bottom of an incident at the National Archives in January in which security personnel compelled visiting students to remove clothing with pro-life messages on it during the annual March for Life. Mr. Paul called the episode “deeply disturbing.”
