The woman is Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress think tank, and Joe Biden's nominee to run the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). But many of the criticisms of Tanden aren't about her political decisions or her record, but about the tone of her tweets. She's "combative," according to both Sanders surrogate Josh Fox and Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. Republicans have no leg to stand on here, given the Twitter behavior of the Republican President. One difference between Tanden and Grenell is that she's a liberal, and so expectations for good behavior are simply higher.
