That'll teach potential cabinet nominees to criticize corporations run by the children of Senators.

How embarrassing for her. It's obvious that women, especially women of color, are held to much higher standards than any man or Republican, but it must be an awful feeling to know you've lost your only chance at serving in a presidential cabinet because of something completely preventable (aka not personally tweeting nonstop for years about the very people who you need to vote to confirm you)

Neera Tanden punched a reporter in the chest for questioning the Iraq War and called an underaged Bernie supporter a c*cksucker...

This is basically where I’m at on the issue. Republicans lecturing a woman of color about mean tweets after supporting Donald Trump for four years is...laughable. But she also sucks and I won’t lose sleep over her not being confirmed.

I'm just happy the left finally gets a W over the admin.

A $15 minimum wage and marijuana legalization next, or the seditionists win in '22 big time.

Well, it's official - Manchin is willing to act alone in a decisive way. Condolences to brucejoel99

Even brucejoel99 supports calling an underaged DemSoc a c*cksucker too?

I'm neutral on Neera Tanden but this is just delusional. The centrists and Republicans got the win over the admin, Joe Manchin put Neera's nomination in danger and Lisa Murkowski finished it off. If Murkowski and the administration had struck a deal, Bernie would have voted for her.

There’s no reason to believe that Manchin acted alone. For all we know, the vast majority of the Dem caucus wanted her gone (quite likely given how many people she insulted), and Manchin acted as the fall guy.

Tanden is gone 🦀🦀🦀

BYE FELICIA

Thank you Comrade Manchin

Tanden is gone 🦀🦀🦀

it's really patronizing when anyone speaks for an entire minority group

Stop, STOP! Your rational reasoning, it may be too inconvenient!!

Bruce my man, this is not my argument with you and we are not going to do it in this thread, but just some advice, sometimes you just gotta learn the art of taking the L man.

[Crumpets]

Fwiw, I follow politics pretty darn closely, and until the above posts in this thread, I did not know what people hated her for beyond "nasty tweets."

[Ancestral Republican]

Wtf, Neera Tanden is not a hero for South Asians, unless they are also petty neolib hacks.

By this logic Biden can make it up to them by nominating Sawant. Not a bad idea actually...

[DrScholl]

Watch the replacement be Rahm Emanuel or somebody else unlikable on the internet, but who can be confirmed easily. I don't think the people doing a victory lap over this will be satisfied by the replacement.

For four years, tweets didn't matter, but suddenly they do. By these standards Trump should have been removed from office on day one.

Live by the tweet, die by the tweet

Replace McCain with Manchin:

“shaking and crying rn” - south asian americans apparently

Who?

[Adam Griffin]

Imagine thinking the term "South Asian Americans" means anything from an identity standpoint (let alone "Asian Americans").
