Former NC pol, Anthony Tata, opposed for Pentagon post over Islamophobia, slurs against Obama – The Progressive Pulse
This is from a CNN story posted last evening entitled Democrats on key Senate committee oppose top Pentagon pick as more inflammatory tweets emerge:
And this is from a CNN report from last Friday:
In several tweets from 2018, Tata said that Islam was the most oppressive violent religion I know of and claimed Obama was a terrorist leader who did more to harm the US and help Islamic countries than any president in history. Following the publication of this story, Tata deleted several of his tweets, screenshots of which were captured by CNNs KFile.
Tata, in one radio appearance, speculated the Iran deal was born out of Obamas Islamic roots in an attempt to help Iranians and the greater Islamic state crush Israel.
Yesterday, the advocacy group Muslim Advocates issued a statement expressing its opposition to Tatas nomination, saying:
Where Anthony Tata goes, bigotry and discrimination follow. His lengthy record of hostility and discrimination against Black people, Muslims and people with disabilities are absolutely disqualifying for any federal appointment. The Senate should reject him without hesitation.
His career as a media personality is built on anti-Black, anti-Muslim smears. He invoked slavery to attack a Black news anchor, he has repeatedly invoked race to smear Congresswoman Maxine Waters for her advocacy on behalf of police violence victim Rodney King, and he regularly perpetuates the anti-Muslim, anti-Black birther conspiracy theory that President Obama is a terrorist and a secret Muslim.
Tata, who found time while serving in office in North Carolina to author lowbrow suspense novels, has a history of making inflammatory statements. Last nights CNN article reported that Tata has frequently accused former President Obama as being part of a secret plot to bring down the United States and, indeed, accused his administration of committing treason.
