White House slams those attacking and opposing judicial nomination of Pakistani-American
Hindustan TimesWashington, The White House has slammed those attacking and opposing the nomination of highly accomplished Pakistani-American lawyer Adeel Mangi to serve on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and said the US Senate must stand against hate. The United States Senate must stand against hate, must reject baseless claims of guilt by association, and must support Mangi’s confirmation,” he said in a statement issued by the White House. After Biden nominated Mangi to serve on the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Republican Senators, including Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, and Josh Hawley, unleashed a cruel, Islamophobic, smear campaign to derail Mangi’s nomination, the White House said, adding, “It was vulgar and those Senators owe Mr Mangi an apology.” Biden and the White House remain 100 per cent behind Mangi’s nomination. “He is exceptionally well-qualified, dedicated to fairness and impartiality, and the rule of law… And yet, Mr Mangi has endured vicious attacks that other judicial nominees have not endured – because he would be the first Muslim judge to ever sit on an appellate court,” the White House said.
