“We didn’t get the required documentation in time; some documents, which we normally get before a hearing, didn’t arrive until yesterday,”

Sounds like Resistance sabotage.

we’re simply out of time with the August recess coming

How about a recess appointment?

[Red Badger]

I didn’t see anything wrong with his Tweets................

[Magnum44]

In 2018 tweets, for example, Tata called Obama a “terrorist leader” and said Islam is the “most oppressive violent religion I know of.” He also called Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) a "vicious race baiting racist” and said she and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) "have always been the same violent extremists."

Ok, So where is the racist tweet?

All these useless GOP Senators complaining about some tweets are just fine with “Republican” Graham supporting Hillary Criminal in 2016 and keeping his prized Senate committee chairmanship.

Since when has any Democrat Senator ever reviewed the history and documentation of ANY nominee submitted by a President for confirmation? If it is from a Democrat President, an automatic “Aye”, if submitted by a Republican President, then the “No” vote is also automatic.

You won’t find one...

Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) said the hearing was canceled because "many" Democrats and Republicans "didn’t know enough about Anthony Tata to consider him for a very significant position at this time."

Really, you mean he's not a known swamp critter.

The hill is such a leftist sesspool.

So, if the nominee holds views, not in line with the opposition party, he need not apply?

[RandFan]

haha yes..

Not approved by the Uniparty

[RinaseaofDs]

Likely what will happen. He’ll be recess appointed.

It means he a racist.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

The Republican senate is weak. President Trump has had more nominees denied than any other president in my lifetime. Herman Cain (Fed Reserve), Stephen Moore (Fed Reserve) and now Anthony Tata (Under Secretary of Defense for Policy). They were all well qualified but were denied because of their political opinions. This doesn’t happen to Democrat nominees.

Tara tells it like it is. I hope he makes it through.

In 2018 tweets, for example, Tata called Obama a “terrorist leader” and said Islam is the “most oppressive violent religion I know of.” He also called Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) a “vicious race-baiting racist” and said she and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “have always been the same violent extremists.”

The truth hurts.

[RandFan]

Yes indeed but I don’t like how they call him a ‘racist’ I dont think he is. That is just terrible journalism.

Nothing inflammatory or racist there.
