Neera Tanden created the "Center for American Progress" which is a pro centrist group well known to stifle progressive voices. The group even proposed it's own healthcare plan, making sure to reserve a role for private insurance companies. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/15/us/politics/tanden-sanders-.html
Neera Tanden had some emails of her's leaked in 2015 by Wikileaks. In those emails we learned that Tanden argued that Lybia should be paying us back after we bombed them.
Under her leadership the Center for American Progress censored a report on Islamophobia to protect its relationship with billionaire Michael Bloomberg. https://twitter.com/democracynow/status/1229399687171624961
Tanden also "accidentally" ousted a victim of sexual harassment at an all staff meeting at the Center for American Progress. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/sarahmimms/center-for-american-progress-staff-shocked-after-neera
