'Hitler Doesn't Get Enough Credit', Tweets From A Key Biden Pick Is Raising 'Socialism' Alarms

President-elect Joe Biden’s selection to head the Office and Management Budget, Neera Tanden, managed a wave of foreign money as head of one of Washington’s most famous liberal think tanks. If that is not enough, she also wrote that Hitler was not given enough credit for defeating communism - while praising socialist regime.

Tanden, a former adviser to Hillary Clinton, has been the chief executive officer and president of the Center for American Progress since 2011.

Tanden, 50, chief executive of the left-leaning Center for American Progress (CAP) think tank would be the first woman of color to direct the OMB, which acts as the gatekeeper for the $4 trillion federal budget.

Republican Senator Tom Cotton called Tanden "a partisan hack" on Twitter for previously citing Republican Senator Susan Collins as "the worst." Tanden is "unfit to be confirmed by the US Senate," he wrote.

She has "zero chance" of being confirmed, informed Drew Brandewie, communications director for Republican Senator John Cornyn, because of her "endless stream of disparaging comments about the Republican senators whose votes she’ll need."

"I will not support any nominee who doesn't provide full transparency into their work on behalf of a foreign government. I will not do it. The American people deserve to know if these or any future nominees are beholden to anything other than our national interest," Cornyn said.

Over the years, CAP has gathered a list of big contributors not just in the United States, but foreign as well. Among foreign benefactors, CAP has taken money from is the United Arab Emirates – a country known for its poor human rights history.

Between 2014 and 2018, CAP got between $1.5 million and $3 million from the UAE, according to a report from Center for International Policy, a foreign policy research think tank. But early last year, the group said it was no longer taking UAE’s money.

“With a rising undemocratic tide around the world, and serious questions about which side of that struggled our own President stands on, it seemed clear that all Americans should take extra steps and leave no doubt where they stand,” a CAP spokesman The Guardian at the time.

He added that the funding CAP received “never impacted any CAP position or policy, but everybody here agrees it’s just the right thing to do.”

The statement came as several think tanks tried to distance themselves from absolute governments and their power in Washington. CAP’s cutting of ties with UAE – an associate of Saudi Arabia – came in the months after the murder of Saudi writer and dissident Jamal Khashoggi.
