Trump Goon Schooled Over Oval Office Screwup

A top Donald Trump loyalist at the Department of Justice has been mocked online for sharing a photo confusing the Declaration of Independence with the Constitution.

Harmeet Dhillon, a 2020 election denier who Trump picked as assistant attorney general for civil rights, posted a photo on X on Thursday showing her holding h“I love the Constitution AND my favorite President!” Dhillon wrote. However, as many social media users pointed out, Dhillon was actually standing in front of the Declaration of Independence, not the historic document that outlines how the federal government operates and guarantees the rights and freedoms of U.S. citizens.ands with the president in the Oval Office.

CNN’s former White House correspondent John Harwood wrote, “A top DOJ official ought to know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.”

Hours after posting the embarrassing mistake, Dhillon appeared to try to rectify it with a follow-up post on her personal account. “My favorite President, who asked me to enforce the Constitution and laws, against a backdrop of the Declaration of Independence!”

It was the Fourth of July, and I said something about the Constitution. Someone pointed out my mistake, and I corrected it.

People make mistakes.

And good morning.

she is the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice, and I would expect her to get it right. Then again, it's not like trump picks the best of the best.

Good morning to you as well, mahatmakanejeeves.
