NEW story: We found more conspiracy and inflammatory tweets from Anthony Tata – the White Houses' pick to be the third ranking official at the Pentagon. Including sharing a conspiracy Obama was "Manchurian candidate" trying to take down America. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/politics/tata-pentagon-nominee-kfile/index.html
Tata deleted several of the tweets, but we screenshotted before they were taken down. Five Democrats on Armed Services, which would approve his nomination, including the ranking member told us they oppose him.

The "Manchurian candidate" Obama conspiracy article shared and endorsed by Tata claimed that Obama let ISIS grow on purpose in Iraq and Libya, saying the "deviousness of the Obama sedition runs deep." https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/politics/tata-pentagon-nominee-kfile/index.html
Tata accused Obama administration remembers of treason several times, saying former CIA chief John Brennan should "pick your poison: firing squad, public hanging, life sentence as prison b*tch, or just suck on your pistol. Your call."
