She became an easy target’: GOP opposition to Haaland rankles Native Americans POLITICO 2/22/2021 By Anthony Adragna and Ben Lefebvre © Joshua Roberts/Getty Images Rep. Deb Haaland speaks after being announced as the nominee for Interior secretary.
Republican senators opposed to Rep. Deb Haaland s nomination to be President Joe Biden s leader of the Interior Department are centering their resistance on what they call the New Mexico Democrat s extreme views on fossil fuels and use of federal lands.
But supporters of Haaland, who would be the nation s first Native American to serve in a presidential Cabinet, say they see a familiar pattern in the Republicans rhetoric and their unusual move to voice their opposition even before her nomination hearing was scheduled. They say she s facing a level of criticism above and beyond the normal fiery Washington political rhetoric.
