Biden OMB Nominee Neera Tanden Deletes Tweets Blasting Republicans

Neera Tanden, president and CEO of the Center American Progress (CAP), has a tough road to confirmation as Joe Biden’s budget director.

Tanden deleted tweets between November 16 and today due to harsh criticism of Republican senators, which she will need for confirmation.

It appears that Neera Tanden has deleted about 1100 tweets between November 16 and tonight. The screenshot on the left is from Nov. 16 on Wayback.

It was reported earlier today that Biden will name her as the director of OMBhttps://t.co/8WPKVcpKzO pic.twitter.com/WADGBDoDOe

I think I’ll bet the under on @neeratanden getting the votes to confirm her if any of those will need to come from the party whose “capacity for evil knows no bounds” by her telling (among other things). pic.twitter.com/X1uTLJ6dkT

Tanden went wild with the Russian conspiracy after Hillary Clinton failed to beat President Donald Trump in 2016.

Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) communications director Drew Brandewie tweeted that Tanden has no chance of being confirmed by the Senate:

Neera Tanden, who has an endless stream of disparaging comments about the Republican Senators’ whose votes she’ll need, stands zero chance of being confirmed. https://t.co/f6Ewi6OMQR

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) former press secretary Brianna Joy Gordon sent out angry tweets about Tanden.

Neera Tanden supports cuts to the social safety net, which, like a Republican, she refers to as "entitlements."

Biden supported cuts to Social Security. And so does his team.

About half of Black seniors rely on Social Security for 90% or more of their retirement income. https://t.co/v4CjY9TWfj

The war between Sanders and Tanden continued into 2019 when ThinkProgress, which is part of CAP, put out a video against the socialist senator.

One of the best attacks on Bernie in the last few years came from @thinkprogress pointing out he had stopped criticizing millionaires after he became one.

“Turns out railing against “millionaires and billionaires” can be quite the lucrative enterprise.”pic.twitter.com/NBQwjcg72J

Sanders said after he watched the video:

Sanders in his letter also singled out CAP’s president, a close adviser to Clinton during the 2016 campaign, accusing her of hypocrisy and untoward “personal” criticism.

“Center for American Progress leader Neera Tanden repeatedly calls for unity while simultaneously maligning my staff and supporters and belittling progressive ideas,” Sanders wrote, adding: “I and other Democratic candidates are running campaigns based on principles and ideas and not engaging in mudslinging or personal attacks on each other. Meanwhile, the Center for American Progress is using its resources to smear Senator Booker, Senator Warren, and myself, among others. This is hardly the way to build unity, or to win the general election.”

The leftist site Jacobin published a blistering attack on Tanden, telling its followers her “pick is even worse than you thought.”

Supporters of Sanders and other far-left ideas have not forgotten Tanden’s snide remarks. How could they forget?

I have been supportive of most of Biden's picks whether they perfectly align with me or not but Neera Tanden is a mistake and a cynical choice for this administration. I always think when they float these names it's a chance to gauge backlash, and there will be a lot around her.

Honestly it’s even worse than I thought. Neera Tanden felt like a really bad joke.

Neera Tanden literally suggested invading countries for their oil to cut our deficit. Rahm Emmanuel covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald. This is how we got Trump first time around. Dems trying really hard to repeat that blueprint for 2024

Neera Tanden is a threat to society. Any progressive in politics not calling this pick out is an embarrassment. https://t.co/mCKKA9OlD5

Neera Tanden in 2015 discussing the gig economy and the need to find "a third way forward" between giving workers full benefits and allowing businesses to classify them as independent contractors thereby denying them.

“Tanden owes her entire career to the patronage of Hillary Clinton, and her devotion to Hillary approaches restraining-order levels of creepiness.” https://t.co/teDZSjgA0X
