Keep Birx? Ask her if she stands by this statement -

[My Pet Orangutan]

“He’s (Trump) been so attentive to the scientific literature and the details and the data, I think his ability to analyze and integrate data that comes out of his long history in business has really been a real benefit during these discussions about medical issues.”

1. EXACTLY!!! Thank you for posting this. nt

2. Drop her, keep Fauci.

[Barbara2423]

3. Get rid of her.

[riversedge]

4. gawds. I remember that quote. And indeed, she needs to be asked about it.

[My Pet Orangutan]

5. What is she going to say?

Yes, I stand by it - OUT.

No I don't - I was boosting Trump with fellow evangelicals?

[zonemaster]

6. What, exactly, makes her such a catch?

Is she like 10x as good as her next closest competitor?

We already know she can't speak truth to power.

This is neither the time nor the place (role) for that kind of person - even if she were the female equivalent of Jonas Fucking Salk. Why is this a difficult decision?

7. and don't forget she was at that so-called press conference

when trump suggested drinking bleach and injecting disinfectant was a covid cure-all... Birx said nothing...

[My Pet Orangutan]

9. She might as well have tied that scarf

over her lying eyes.

[sheshe2]

8. Brix out.

She sold herself with her silence on bleach alternatives to science.

[Chemisse]

10. Exactly. She's only moderated the gushing because Trump and other scientists turned on her. n/t

11. -GONG-

Thanks for “playing.”
Buh Bye.

[scarletwoman]

12. No trump ass-kissers needed.

[hibbing]

13. Barf inducing n/t

[SunSeeker]

14. I'll never forget that. She's been dead to me since. nt

[yankeepants]

15. Birxit

16. She has no credibility. It's counterproductive to taint your advice pool with distrusted people.

You need the public to follow your advice and guidelines. That is ruined by taking advice from people the public sees as hacks and opportunists.

[usaf-vet]

17. Ask her if she stand behind this. If she denies, lies or vacillates find a better person.

There should be no room for "alternative facts." Trump can't do any of the stated facts in the posed statement.

Here is what we need at a minimum a scientist that at least agrees with:

18. Take your scarves and GTFO!

[LovingA2andMI]

19. She Can LEAVE....

PERIOD!

20. The U.S. has many competent, honest medical scientists that can be hired....

so there's no need to keep political hacks around that have been a party to a delayed effective coronavirus response.

Hundreds of great people are waiting in the wings to help Joe and Kamala's administration attack this national disaster with a vengeance and due speed.

There is no justifiable forgiveness available for public servants who deliberately mislead our public in ways that cost thousands of precious lives.
