        If I were a Senator grilling Tanden I wouldn't be talking about tweets. I'd ask her about this: in 2015 the Center For American Progress excised a chapter on police misconduct in NY the Bloomberg era from a report.

        Neera Tanden's obnoxious tweets aren't a virtue. But I agree with the rest of your tweet.
