President Joe Biden’s Muslim American appeals court judge nominee due to concerns about his ties to anti-police activities and an institute that’s known to promote anti-Semitic views. Adeel Mangi, the nominee for the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, is under fire for his unsavory connections.
Controversial Biden nominee puts vulnerable Senate Democrats on defense on crime https://t.co/mcy4zSMUfX https://t.co/mcy4zSMUfX

Senate Republicans, led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have slammed their Democratic counterparts for continuing to back Mangi, accusing them of being soft on crime and giving in to anti-Semitic influences. McConnell didn’t hold back his punches, blasting the Democrats for not batting an eye at Mangi’s affiliations with supporters of terrorism and cop-killing.
In a bizarre twist, former President Donald Trump has emerged from the shadows, attending the wake of a fallen New York police officer and calling for “law and order.” Talk about making a grand entrance! It’s clear that Trump is trying to make Biden look weak on crime, and now, even Mangi’s nomination is adding fuel to the fire.
But the drama doesn’t end there! The plot thickens as vulnerable Democrats facing reelection are being forced to make a hard choice because of Mangi’s controversial nomination. Many are sweating bullets, fearing that this vote could come back to haunt them when it’s time for the American people to cast their ballots.
Democratic strategist, who decided to keep their identity a mystery, spilled the tea by revealing that behind the scenes, the message has been loud and clear to the Biden administration: Mangi just doesn’t have the support. But despite this glaring reality, the Democrats are pushing ahead with the nomination. Talk about stubborn!
In response, the White House is playing the endorsements card, boasting about all the law enforcement bigwigs who are supposedly backing Mangi. The statement from White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates is trying to deflect the heat by painting Mangi as a victim of a “smear campaign.” Nice try, but the truth always has a way of creeping out!
For now, the majority of Senate Democrats are standing by their man, with some calling the allegations against him nothing more than a smear campaign. But let’s face it, not everyone is buying into these sweet nothings. The hunt for Mangi’s votes has now become a tantalizing game of cat and mouse. Will the Democrats be able to corral enough votes to push Mangi over the finish line? Only time will tell!
