I have worked with some of the dedicated public servants under attack, including NSC Intel Director Maher Bitar. Maher is a brilliant foreign policy and intelligence expert and committed American patriot. He has never wavered in furthering America's national security interests. https://twitter.com/emilyhorne46/status/1354786056198098944
In the same way that Jewish Dems strongly oppose the vile dual loyalty claims made against our community & another committed public servant, Anne Neuberger, we oppose the egregious smears against Maher Bitar. These attacks are rooted in the same false assumptions, racism & bias.
Strongly agree with @RepAdamSchiff that Maher Bitar is a “superb choice” for the NSC, with an “extraordinary” breadth of talent and expertise. As Rep. Schiff said, “I can’t think of anyone more suited to the role than Maher." https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/21/maher-bitar-biden-nsc-461213
