Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden’s nominee for director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), apologized Tuesday for her years of publicly attacking Republicans, including many Republican senators who will vote on her confirmation.
Tanden, the president and CEO of the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP), told members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that she had deleted more than 1,000 tweets in November because she “regretted” her tone and that “nobody advised me at all” to scrub her social media account of her controversial comments ahead of her nomination.
“I deeply regret and apologize for my language and some of my past language,” Tanden said. “I know I have to earn the trust of senators across the board.”
“For those concerned about my rhetoric and my language, you know, I’m sorry, and I’m sorry for any hurt they’ve caused,” she added.
