Tanden may have used her high position to get a left-wing labor blogger fired for calling her "scumbag neera" over her alleged role in 'reforming' welfare in the '90s, ultimately harming those in extreme poverty.

Edit: the blogger was also an expectant father.

This only substantiates that theory.

The blogger had a full-time job. The blogging was just a side thing. Neera denies having him fired (as opposed to the org firing him on their on decision). Source: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/201...

The blogger was subsequently fired from the full-time position.

Twitter. Unfortunately, I don't have a link handy. You can also go to the blogger's personal site and find his resume showing an end of full-time employment.

There were a number of people who did not like his combative style in disproving liberals' claims, who banded together to complain to his full time employer.
