Apologies, this remark should have been directed at Senator Mullin.

Well, what do you expect out of some guy named Markwayne?

Susan Monarez, former CDC director, tells Senate committee 'true reason' she believes she was fired
"I was fired for holding the line on scientific integrity," Monarez said.

A pivotal moment, she said, was an August meeting in which she said Kennedy told her to preemptively accept recommendations from a CDC vaccine advisory panel and to fire career officials overseeing vaccine policy.

"I would not commit to that, and I believe it is the true reason I was fired," Monarez said. Monarez said Kennedy was "very upset" when she pushed back in the meeting.

Trump’s flunkies are probably perplexed when they encounter someone with integrity .

It is such a foreign concept to them.

She voted to confirm Rfk jr along with the other Republicans and is doing nothing to stop him now. So no, I don’t see much integrity at all.
