WASHINGTON, July 29 -- Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, issued the following statement regarding the nomination of Anthony Tata to serve in a senior policy making position at the Department of Defense:
"Anthony Tata's long history of rampant Islamophobia, conspiratorial claims and hyper-partisanship make him entirely unfit to serve as the Pentagon's policy chief. He has shown such atrocious judgment that retired generals have publicly withdrawn their support for this nomination.
