Coronavirus expert Dr. Deborah Birx told people she is "distressed" at the direction of the White House coronavirus task force and is weighing how much longer she'll remain in the position, CNN reported Wednesday.

Birx, who serves on the White House coronavirus task force, reportedly felt her role became "diminished" after neuroradiologist Dr. Scott Atlas joined the task force, according to the CNN report.

"The president has found somebody who matches what he wants to believe," a source close to Birx told CNN. "There is no doubt that she feels that her role has been diminished." The source added that Birx believes Atlas could be feeding Trump misleading information on the coronavirus, specifically around mask-wearing and its role in preventing coronavirus spread.

At a press conference Wednesday evening, Atlas denied there being any tensions in his relationship with Birx, saying she "speaks for herself but that's a completely false story and she denied it today."

She diminished her own reputation by not resigning months ago when that asshat started lying. What, she isn't getting enough airtime?
