Anthony Tata is a combat veteran. But the retired Army brigadier general and Fox News commentator now a nominee for the No. 3 post at the Defense Department does not have the courage of his odious convictions.
CNNs KFile team, led by ace Internet sleuth Andrew Kaczynski, has unearthed a long trail of deranged comments from Tata, many of which he recently deleted from Twitter in an unsuccessful attempt at cleanup. The first CNN story, on June 12, reported that Tata had called Islam the most oppressive violent religion I know of and that he had described President Barack Obama as a terrorist leader who did more to help Islamic countries than any president in history. Tata argued that Obama negotiated the Iranian nuclear deal because he had Islamic roots and wanted to help Iranians and the greater Islamic state crush Israel. In addition, he lashed out at Reps. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), calling them violent extremists and accusing Waters of being a vicious race baiting racist.
Part II of the Tata chronicles appeared on CNNs website on June 15. This time, KFile revealed that Tata had called Obama a manchurian candidate i.e., a sleeper agent for Hamas & Muslim brotherhood. In other tweets, Tata accused the Obama administration of sedition and/or treason and threatened former CIA director John Brennan: Might be a good time to pick your poison: firing squad, public hanging, life sentence as prison b*tch, or just suck on your pistol. Your call. #Treason #Sedition #crossfirehurricane #Obamagate.
Part III was published on Tuesday. This time, CNN revealed that Tata had spread conspiracy theories about a deep state cabal seeking to undermine President Trump and accused the Obamas of borderline treasonous behavior. He also accused Brennan of supporting the overthrow of Trump. After Brennan quoted Cicero in a tweet, Tata purported to see this as a coded signal for Trumps assassination: As incompetent as @JohnBrennan was as a #CIA analyst (failure at Khobar Towers), we must assume he knows spy tradecraft. This is a signal to someone, somewhere. Cicero was assassinated for political reasons. This is a clear threat against @POTUS.

Imagine the reviews he gave them and their promotions.

How did this fucker make full Colonel, much less a General?
