[See NewsBusters for more.] Reacting to the news that Republicans oppose President of the Center for American Progress Neera Tanden's nomination to be head of the Office of Management and Budget on Monday, MSNBC Live host Hallie Jackson was unmoved by concerns over Tanden's history of Twitter insults, quoting John McCain's former chief of staff saying "poor baby."
After citing Texas Sen. John Cornyn's office saying Tanden has no chance of getting confirmed, Jackson showed two examples, "Tanden has named Ted Cruz ‘Weasel Ted,’ for example, and compared Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to Lord Voldemort A.K.A Tom Riddle A.K.A the evil villain of the Harry Potter series."
