Trump's latest top Pentagon pick turns out to be a racist Obama-hating conspiracy theorist

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump’s nominee to become the Pentagon's third-ranking official is presently racing through his Twitter feed to delete tweets just as fast as he can.

Retired Army Brig. Gen. Anthony Tata, who has been tapped to run the Department of Defense's policy shop, apparently had a habit of tweeting out Islamophobic remarks and racist conspiracy theories that often focused on former President Barack Obama. But after CNN's KFile unearthed a cache of 2018 tweets in which Tata called Obama a "Muslim" and a "terrorist leader" who tried to "subvert U.S. national interests to Islam," Tata's been a busy beaver.

As KFile continues to publicize Tata's inflammatory tweets, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday joined a handful of his colleagues in opposing Tata's nomination.

A spokesman for Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed told Politico that Reed's policy is usually to wait for the hearing to make his views known. But not in Tata's case. Here, said Chip Unruh, "there are real warning signs flashing and if this nomination moves forward, Senator Reed will oppose it."

2. Many Republicans in NC hate Tata, too. Tillis and Tata paved the way for toll lanes

on I77 that McCrory contracted to be built and run by a criminal foreign company, CINTRA.
