In 2020, President Trump is claiming that massive voter fraud has stolen the election from him. Eventhough this is supported by mountains of evidence, it’s considered bad because he’s a Republican. In 2016, Hillary Clinton aide, Neera Tanden, claimed massive voter fraud stole the election for Donald Trump. Even though this was a baseless conspiracy theory, supported by nothing, it was considered good because she’s a democrat. In an ironic twist, Joe Biden has nominated Tanden for a position in his administration.
Joe Biden has nominated Neera Tanden for director of the Office of Management and Budget, which seems crazy given the contested nature of his impending presidency and her background in election theft conspiracy theories.
Tanden is the president and CEO of leftist think tank Center for American Progress, which is already disqualifying enough, but she was also a top aide for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign.
And about that, Glenn Greenwald reports that Tanden not only didn’t accept the 2016 results but also tried to change them:
She is one of the most deranged conspiracy theorists in the United States, and has done more than almost any other Washington functionary to contaminate Democrats’ mental health, capacity to reason, and faith in the legitimacy of U.S. elections.
In the weeks after Trump’s victory, Tanden joined numerous Democrats in encouraging electors of the Electoral College to ignore their states’ votes and refuse to elect Trump as President…
She insisted that Hillary lost because of Russia, claiming the “Russians did enough damage to affect more than 70k votes in 3 states.”
But what really distinguished Tanden when it came to unhinged and toxic behavior was her repeated (and obviously baseless) claims that Hillary only lost because Russian hackers invaded the U.S. voting system and clandestinely changed Hillary’s votes to Trump’s, costing the real winner — Hillary — her rightful place on the throne, behind the Resolute Desk.
In response to a President Trump tweet showing there was no evidence that the Russians changed any votes in the 2016 election, Tanden responded:
Why does he lie about this?Because he knows people have intuitive sense Russians did enough damage to affect more than 70k votes in 3 states https://t.co/VFiptUz6gV

Once getting the nod from Biden, Tanden went on a tweet deleting spree in a vein attempt to memory hole the entire thing.

Plus Tanden is a just a shit person who punched a reporter, who was one of her employees, for asking Hillary Clinton about her support for the Iraq War.
Republican Senator John Cronyn issued a statement through his communications director regarding Tanden’s nomination:
Neera Tanden, who has an endless stream of disparaging comments about the Republican Senators’ whose votes she’ll need, stands zero chance of being confirmed. https://t.co/f6Ewi6OMQR

I said it is ironic that election-stealing Biden would fill his administration with people who don’t believe in the integrity of presidential elections, but here’s the real irony: Neera Tanden’s only hope of being confirmed rests on it being proven that Biden stole the 2020 election, in which case Trump is the winner and she has no position to be confirmed to.
