I believe her overly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget,\u201d Manchin said in a statement. \u201cFor this reason, I cannot support her nomination.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAs I have said before, we must take meaningful steps to end the political division and dysfunction that pervades our politics,\u201d added the Democratic senator from West Virginia. \u201cAt a time of grave crisis, it is more important than ever that we chart a new bipartisan course that helps address the many serious challenges our nation is facing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, started getting heat almost immediately after President Joe Biden announced that she would be nominated to the positoin. According to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/12\/02\/politics\/kfile-neera-tanden-deleted-tweets-slamming-gop\/index.html\"><span>CNN<\/span><\/a><span>, Tanden deleted nearly 1,000 tweets ahead of her nomination fight, including one accusing Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and former Senator Jeff Flake of being \u201ccriminally ignorant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During the actual nomination hearings, she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bidens-budget-office-pick-grilled-over-past-social-media-conduct\">grilled again and again<\/a> by lawmakers across the political spectrum for her social media history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In one exchange, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) accused Tanden of calling Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) \u201ceverything but an ignorant slut\u201d<\/span> <span>\u2014<\/span> <span>an accusation she denied<\/span> <span>\u2014<\/span> <span>and proceeded to ask her nearly a dozen times whether she meant the things she said about other political opponents on social media. After repeatedly deflecting from the question, she responded: \u201cSenator, I must have meant them, but I really regret them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As The Daily Wire previously reported:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span>Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), ranking member of the budget committee, said that Tanden wasn\u2019t \u201cthe unity pick\u201d he expected from the Biden administration, and called her a \u201cvery partisan figure.\u201d Graham pointed to a comment she made about Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who she called \u201cMoscow Mitch,\u201d and another comment she made in which she accused the Republican Party of having a \u201ccapacity for evil\u201d that \u201cknows no bounds.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), chairman of the budget committee, also mentioned Tanden\u2019s behavior on social media in his line of questioning, although he didn\u2019t single out specific tweets.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In response to Sanders, Tanden remarked: \u201cI recognize that my language and my expressions on social media caused hurt to people, and I feel badly about that, and I really regret it, and I recognize it\u2019s really important for me to demonstrate that I can work with others, and I look forward to taking that burden, and I apologize to people on either the Left or Right who are hurt by what I\u2019ve said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
