Trump appoints ex-nominee to another Pentagon role,
under fire for past controversial remarks
Retired Army Brigadier General Anthony Tata’s Senate confirmation was recently
cancelled after it was clear he wouldn't get enough votes to make it through
committee. But the Trump Administration didn’t stop there. Instead, Trump
appointed him to a different role in the Pentagon that didn’t require Senate
confirmation. Tata is known for making false and inflammatory statements like
saying President Barack Obama is a ‘terrorist leader.’
