Biden Nominee for Top Defense Post Attacked GOP in Incendiary Tweets
Republicans are ‘the party of ethnic cleansing,’ said Colin Kahl

It's not just Neera Tanden. President Joe Biden's nominee for a top Pentagon post described Republicans as "the party of ethnic cleansing" in a series of highly partisan Twitter posts aimed at GOP lawmakers over the past few years.
Colin Kahl, nominated for undersecretary of defense for policy, has already faced some resistance from Senate Republicans due to his staunch advocacy of the Iran nuclear deal, opposition to Iran sanctions, and his alleged involvement in removing a statement affirming Jerusalem as Israel's capital from the 2012 Democratic Party platform.
But the personal attacks against Republicans on his Twitter feed could fuel additional concerns from members ahead of his confirmation hearing on Thursday. Biden pulled his nominee for Office of Management and Budget director, Neera Tanden, on Tuesday after controversy over her Twitter posts attacking GOP lawmakers sank her nomination.
Kahl's Twitter feed includes barbs at individual Republican senators, as well as the party as a whole, which he described in 2017 as "a clown show."
