Harmeet Dhillon politely redirected a congresswoman back to her lane after a trolling post about “knitting.”
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., shared a graphic about Dhillon’s retirement from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which delighted the leftist lawmaker who felt the need to get in one last jab.
Look:
Harmeet Dhillon made a mockery of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division by attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion and bullying states into disenfranchising voters.
She will not be missed. Enjoy your knitting. https://t.co/0kzGcbzhH6

“Harmeet Dhillon made a mockery of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division by attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion and bullying states into disenfranchising voters. She will not be missed. Enjoy your knitting,” Jayapal snarked.
Dhillon’s response was a masterclass in handling “hateful” trolls.
Grow up, Pramila. Bullying and trolling are not really the role of members of Congress. You are a public servant. Act like it.
By the way, knitting is a skill. Acquiring some skills is part of a healthy, balanced life. I recommend this to you. No need to be hateful all day!

This comes after her Thursday announcement on X that she would be resigning from her position at the DOJ.

Serving my country as AAG for Civil Rights has been the honor of a lifetime. We ushered in the downfall of illegal DEI, we fought to protect women and girls’ sports, and so much more. I want to thank President Trump for giving me this opportunity. I look forward to what’s next!

This is one of the many staffing shakeups to come out of President Donald Trump’s administration following the “blue-nami” midterms in which Democrats saw an unexpectedly powerful victory that is threatening to put a damper on the last two years of Trump’s presidency.
