“The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Anthony Tata to serve as the Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel and readiness, approving a nominee whose incendiary political commentary made him unconfirmable during President Donald Trump’s first term,” Politico reports.
“The vote was 52-46 with all Republicans voting in favor and all Democrats opposed.”
“Tata faced criticism over past remarks in which he called then-President Barack Obama a ‘terrorist leader,’ and accused senior Pentagon officials of being ‘compromised by hatred’ against Trump.
