Andrea Mitchel lashes out at Dr. Deborah Birx, Trump's appeasing doctor

[kpete]

“Unfortunately I think that the credibility of the scientists now is on the line,” Andrea Mitchell said. “They have to decide whether to stay on the inside and be valuable, or whether or not they see another alternative
... Because when Dr. Birx said today that sunlight does kill the virus, she is perpetuating an unscientific untested single-study presented by a non-scientist from the Department of Homeland Security which led to the president, as she put it, ‘not fully digested the data’, she needed to be very clear on disavowing it and to this point she still has not been even this morning.”

1. It is overwhelming to see how easily

smart people have gotten sucked into the Trump Cult.

How does this happen? Trump is a repulsive, ignorant, lying psychopath. Yet, he is able to somehow gain control of peoples' minds.

I Don't Get It.

6. My guess is that she's always had a right wing agenda.

Even defending a raving lunatic like Chump works if he keeps the cause going.

[Mr.Bill]

17. My guess is she's wealthy enough

to like tax cuts more than she likes science. I volunteer at a hospital and I know a lot of doctors. Their wealth makes them all worship Trump. The nurses and other hospital workers tend to be more compassionate and liberal. But doctors making a half million a year love Trump.

19. I think you are right about that. Having wealth discolors all your views.

[katmondoo]

16. Ask Michael Cohen

[Lonestarblue]

18. When you work for someone who is mean and vindictive, it can be hard to speak up.

I’m not excusing Dr. Birx, but we all know that had she directly contradicted Trump, she would have beed fired. She’s 64 years old, so maybe not ready to retire. That said, if she cannot present a clearer picture of the research to date and atop justifying Trump’s remarks, then she should not bother going on talk shows. She is just misleading people.

I suspect that many people working for Trump are afraid of his temper. Being the recipient of a mean, angry tirade is not fun. And they all know that he is vindictive and will get even with anyone who dares to cross him. Trump can ruin careers at the drop of a few nasty words.

2. Frau Oberheuser.

3. ....................................

[gibraltar72]

4. Frau Oberhueser was real

only woman prosecuted in war crimes trials after the war. If my hurried research is right.

[still_one]

7. I know. I was just being sarcastic regarding Dr. Brix name, causing the upset of the

horses.

Definitely it was NOT meant to contradict the point you were making

[gibraltar72]

8. Nah I didn't take it that way.

I have been encouraged to use that name. I'm trying to decide if anything is over the top in these times.

[still_one]

20. Nothing surprises me anymore. Take care

[DenverJared]

5. Deborah Birx is a Trumpanzee cult member

She has lost all credibility.

[Polly Hennessey]

9. I don't buy into the current fad that

Dr. Brix is smart. She has done nothing to date that convinces me she is nothing more than a right-wing sycophant bent on enhancing her prospects for a Cabinet position. Could she be yearning for Director of Health and Human Services. Don’t forget she is an Army officer. Following orders is to her like green is to Ireland.

[qazplm135]

12. Ummm I just retired as an Army officer

And that stereotype is pretty lame. Plenty of us wouldn't perpetuate what she is.

[C_U_L8R]

10. Seems Scarfy is pining for that HHS job

I don't Trust any of these Trump flaks.

[leftieNanner]

13. "Scarfy"!

LOL

Thanks for the chuckle.

[Boomerproud]

11. How many times did she say "I was VERY CLEAR..."

this morning on the chatterbox shows. I won't watch her or her defenders again.

[Drahthaardogs]

14. Andrea and her husband are old thus vulnerable

So when it is her ass on the line she gets upset

[lindysalsagal]

15. That wet noodle is gonna leave

nothing visible, damaging, useful, or memorable, at all.

Go home Andrea. You've had so many chances, and you blew most of them.
