      It's exactly because Manchin has no real political argument with Tandem that this is, as I said, "amazing." He's just doing this as a flex.https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1362890871474184193 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Manu RajuVerified account @mkraju
      Manchin, who has backed Biden’s nominees so far, voted to convict Trump and will be under enormous pressure to cast a decisive vote for the $1.9T covid relief plan, likes to show his independence. Announcing opposition to Tanden gave him that chance

      Censoring a report on police violence to placate a big donor is progressive?https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1359526173945036806 …

      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. Did the $1.5 million Bloomberg gave CAP influence this? pic.twitter.com/OOutflQlxf

      How is it smearing to bring up a factual point about something she did that was deeply disturbing and which should have been brought up in a Senate nomination hearing or wasn't? Or is censorship of a report on police misconduct not troubling to you?

      She's a nominee for a very high position in the American government. What exactly is wrong with wanting her judged on her record? The position that her record doesn't matter is at odds with the very idea of Senate's advise & consent duties.

      Let's stipulate for the sake of argument that I'm a bad person. Is it your position that there is no one in the world who has a serious, policy-grounded progressive objection to Tanden?

          While she wasn’t a great progressive pick, she was 100% better than Bruce Reed. If Manchin’s vote leads to him rather than her, definitely worse for progressive policy. But this is a terrible issue that should have been addressed better though: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/sarahmimms/center-for-american-progress-staff-shocked-after-neera …
