NEW: The White House is pushing Pentagon to hire a conspiracy theorist for a top job who among other things said impeachment witness Alex Vindman was "spy," that BLM was a Marxist agent of China, and that Obama, Comey, Brennan, and Clapper were communists https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/rich-higgins-conspiracy-theorist-kfile/index.html
Rich Higgins would serve as chief of staff to Anthony Tata, the nominee for Pentagon policy chief. The White House is pushing for a Tata hearing despite him calling Obama a Muslim "terrorist leader" and "Manchurian candidate." https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/rich-higgins-conspiracy-theorist-kfile/index.html
A Congressional source told CNN that Tata is expected to get a nomination hearing before the August recess. The committee also expects to hold a private executive session on Tata before the hearing, too.
All Democrats have said they'd vote against Tata. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/rich-higgins-conspiracy-theorist-kfile/index.html

"We had our first openly communist president in Obama," Higgins said in 2019. "You know, he brings in all these open and some, you know, some more closeted Marxists. I mean, Comey has a communist history. Brennan has a communist history. Clapper has a communist history."
In another tweet, Higgins dismissed the nationwide protests held in the wake of George Floyd's death as "not organic" and claimed that Venezuela, Cuba and "other marxist state assets" were "operating inside these protests." https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/rich-higgins-conspiracy-theorist-kfile/index.html
