    FDA head removes Trump appointee spokesperson after two weeks.

    No medical or science background. She was a reporter at One America News.

      Probably didn’t have the proper British accent either.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Let me clue you in:
          The breaking news is the current White House has appointed someone incompetent for the job.

          Normally this should be easily noticeable, but because the current White House has made so many disastrous appointments that such “breaking news” has been less “breaking”, so you may be forgiven for being desensitized from recognizing grossly incompetent appointments by the current White House as “braking news.” But fear not, I predict you will regain this sensitivity with the next White House.

            The fact that:

            (1) The White House chose a spokesperson for the FDA, and

            (2) Went to One America News to do it

            strikes me as concerning.

              Really Ax? Name one other FDA spokesperson you have heard of in your life? And look how far you’ve fallen from every other awful allegation that has been made thousands of times over the last 4 years...spokesman. Haha

              The election is close only because of the nonsense we have had to listen to for so long and the current support for anarachy.

              Trump was an easy person to get out of the White House if not for all the lying, hysteria, the press and misuse of our institutions

                Looks like she was part of the wildly inaccurate claims around convalescent plasma and that the political appointees at HHS we’re upset that Hahn apologized for it.

                One of FDA's first communications rollouts during Miller's tenure was the agency's emergency authorization of convalescent plasma. The agency's press release billed it as "Another Achievement in Administration’s Fight Against Pandemic" — a breach of FDA's historic focus on science.

                In the wake of the plasma announcement, Miller fiercely defended Hahn’s misstatements, falsely asserting on Twitter that the treatment “has shown to be beneficial for 35% of patients.” Hahn has since apologized for overstating the benefits of plasma, which has not been proven effective.

                Miller’s ouster came shortly after HHS officials separately canceled the contract of consultant Wayne Pines, who had counseled Hahn on communications and had advised him to walk back inaccurate claims about convalescent plasma that he made in a press appearance with Trump on Sunday.

                But Hahn’s late-night mea culpa on Monday angered health department officials. After discovering Pines had aided that decision, they began the process of severing his contract, said a person with direct knowledge of the matter. The removal of Pines was "not routine," said the person, but a specific action driven by frustration over his advice that Hahn apologize.

                  Also from the piece. This is traditionally a role filled by a career civil servant. This administration goes to fucking One America News to fill it with a wackjob.

                            I think this can be laid squarely at the White House and the political staff at HHS.

                              Asst commission For media affairs. Oh and the rest of her background FFS

                              Miller served as the deputy press secretary at the U.S. Department of State for Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.[7] Before this, Miller worked as communications director for House Majority Whip Tom DeLay.

                              Miller worked at ABC News as an associate producer for the television shows This Week and Good Morning America. She then went on to become a senior editor for Human Events and a gossip columnist for Politics Daily.[8][1] After this, she worked at The Washington Times as a columnist and senior editor of their opinion pages.[9]

                                  The more interesting question is why does this deserve apoplexy while The Speaker of the House says there should be no debates and that deserves ZERO criticism by the Press. That’s the joke sold to the public.

                                    Heck, that's nothing. Democrats have been ELECTING people who are incompetent from Jimmy Carter through today!

                                    That's pretty much due to the fact that the democrat party is made up of fools and morons unqualified to judge anyone else's competency.

                                      I have to agree with @Loki The lady seems to have a communications background, and was appointed by the white house to the position in a communications position.

                                      What I dont know is if this position is normally appointed or how is it staffed during normal.
