White House condemns Islamophobic attacks on Muslim judicial nominee.

The White House has accused three Republican senators of leveling cruel and Islamophobic attacks against a Biden judicial nominee as part of a smear effort to discredit him. The nominee, Adeel Mangi, would be the first Muslim American judge to serve on the federal appeals court if confirmed. The White House has criticized Sens. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Tom Cotton for a "malicious" line of questioning during Mangi's confirmation hearing about his views on a Hamas-led terrorist attack in Israel.
