Biden’s Far-Left OMB Pick - Neera Tanden

It’s well known by now that Neera Tanden, President-elect Biden’s pick to head the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is a thoroughgoing ding-a-ling. With McCarthyite unrestraint, she has dubbed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “Moscow Mitch,” judging him a treacherous Russophile. She has insisted Sen. Susan Collins’s (R-ME) “terrible treatment of Dr. [Christine Blasey] Ford should haunt Collins the rest of her days.” The “terrible treatment,” of course, was rejecting Ford’s implausible allegation of attempted rape by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Tanden also spurned Michelle Obama’s precept “when they go low, we go high,” rejoining that “going high doesn’t f**king work.” And Tanden seems to have misreckoned that she could expunge these and countless other comments by deleting them from her Twitter page. (The media took more interest in them after she did that.)

Her unseemly personality has politics to match. An upper-level executive of the fringe-left Center for American Progress (CAP) since its founding in 2003, and its president since 2011, Tanden has advocated enjoining “long stay-at-home orders” for COVID-19, returning the U.S. corporate tax rate to its 2017 level of 38.9 percent—the highest in the world—and “completely reinvent[ing] the global economy,” i.e. devastating energy hubs like Texas to counteract climate change.

Tanden’s foul tweets about McConnell, Collins, and numerous other senators have Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) office predicting the OMB nominee won’t get approved. But conservatives have reasons to consider confirming her.
