The confirmation hearing for Anthony Tata, a controversial nominee for a top Pentagon job, was canceled Thursday shortly before it was scheduled to start as it became clear he might not have the votes to make it through the committee.

Inhofe's announcement came after Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said he was opposing Tata's nomination unless the Pentagon changes its position on adding the names of sailors killed aboard the USS Frank E. Evans to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. With 14 Republicans and 13 Democrats on the committee, Cramer's position tips the balance against Tata advancing out of the panel.

"Islam is a faith of peace, and Muslims are a vital part of American history and society," Biden said."Islamophobia is a pernicious disease. It does not belong in the halls of government."
