President Biden on Tuesday said he was withdrawing Neera Tanden’s nomination to be White House budget director.
Biden presented the white flag as Tanden’s idea and the White House released a letter from her saying she wanted to drop out.
Tanden faced increasingly long odds at confirmation due to her past mean tweets about senators, including swing-voting Republicans and even some Democrats.
Biden said in a statement that he “accepted Neera Tanden’s request to withdraw her name from nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget.”
“I have the utmost respect for her record of accomplishment, her experience and her counsel, and I look forward to having her serve in a role in my Administration. She will bring valuable perspective and insight to our work,” Biden said.
Tanden’s insult-laden tweets clashed with Biden’s promotion of civility

Tanden in 2017 accused Murkowski of being “high” on her “own supply.”

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) reminded Tanden at one of her confirmation hearings, “You wrote that Susan Collins is ‘the worst’, that Tom Cotton is a fraud, that vampires have more heart than Ted Cruz. You called Leader McConnell ‘Moscow Mitch’ and Voldemort.”
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) quipped, “You called Sen. Sanders everything but an ignorant slut.”

I despise this bi**h. Good riddance to her!
Glad to hear this but the next person may be just as bad or worse!
Biden (actually: his handlers) is actually looking for nasty, nasty extremists who are full of hate.
But he wants them to be a little bit subtle. She wasn’t subtle.
Now how about withdrawing the dope who said that BLM isn’t a terrorist organization when it burns down police stations because they only do it at night?
Nice to see them arrogantly push her forward for weeks and then get sunk.
Hillary’s nice witch friend goes down in flames.
It’s a start.
The problem is it won’t end here, Biden will find some
position in his administration where she can wreak havoc
but go unaccounted.
He as much as says so right here...
“’I despise this bi**h. Good riddance to her!”
While I certainly like seeing Biden’s bunch embarrassed over ‘tweets’ (hehehe), it’s hard to deny that she was on-target much more often than not.
[She will bring valuable perspective and insight to our work,” Biden said.]
Dah, Chairman. Is good Party member, no?
(Hey, there were Russians flying MiG’s for North Korea who was getting help from China, so it fits, LOL)
sigh - it’s baaaaaack....
sigh - it’s baaaaaack....
Mitt Romney is a Senator, not a Cabinet nominee.
You’re absolutely right but shooting down one of these insufferable jerks has a satisfaction all it’s own
I wonder what price Lisa Murkowski was trying to extract? Obviously too much.
What?
She had 88,000 tweets to go through and cull. Must have been a hell of a job. And naturally she missed some. She’ll probably land on her feet overseeing a troll room at the DNC.
