In several tweets from 2018, Tata said that Islam was the "most oppressive violent religion I know of" and claimed Obama was a "terrorist leader" who did more to harm the US "and help Islamic countries than any president in history." ...

Not surprisingly, given crackpot ideas like these, more than a few Senate Democrats have said there'sthey can support his nomination. All of which leads to two rather important questions. First, are Senate Republicans seriously prepared to confirm this guy to a powerful position at the Department of Defense?Second, exactly how much of Tata's record did the White House recognize before the president sent this nomination to Capitol Hill for consideration? By all appearances, either Team Trump was aware of Tata's record and chose him for the position anyway, or the White House didn't bother to vet him ahead of time.
