>Elliott Abrams, who is a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and chairs the Vandenberg Coalition, served in the State Department in the Reagan and first Trump administrations.
He's humble. He's had a very long career.
>Abrams is neoconservative[73][74][75][76][77] and was one of the Bush administration's intellectual architects of the Iraq War.[78][77] Abrams is also pro-Israel.[5]
>During his time in the post, Abrams clashed regularly with church groups and human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch.[16] According to an article in The Washington Post, in a 1984 appearance on the program Nightline, Abrams clashed with Aryeh Neier,[17] the executive director of Human Rights Watch[18] and with the leader of Amnesty International, over the Reagan administration's foreign policies. They accused him of covering up atrocities committed by the military forces of U.S.-backed governments, including those in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, and the rebel Contras in Nicaragua. Abrams accused critics of the Reagan administration's foreign policy towards Latin America of being "Un-American" and "unpatriotic."[19]
>In February 2019, Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota questioned whether Abrams was the correct choice for such a role because of his conviction of lying to Congress about his role in the Iran-Contra affair, and his historical support for previous instances of right-wing regime change in Central and South America in the 1970s and 1980s.[62][63] Omar particularly criticized Abrams's description of the Reagan administration's "record in El Salvador [as] one of fabulous achievement," in light of the El Mozote massacre, a mass killing of over 800 Salvadorian civilians carried out by US-backed and trained "death squads."[64][65][66][67]
