Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday blasted Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Stephen Hahn for initially overstating the benefits, during an announcement with President Trump on the eve of the GOP convention, of treating COVID-19 patients with convalescent plasma.

Hahn ultimately backtracked on Monday after coming under fire from experts who criticized him for misrepresenting findings of a study on the use of convalescent plasma.

"Shame on Hahn for what he did. And he even had to backtrack on what he said, because it was not science-based. He was just there as a prop for the president to pretend that something was happening," Pelosi said during an interview on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."

"Let's hope that this incident with Hahn having to backtrack on his foolish statements will be a warning for them that people are watching," Pelosi said.

1. LOL

As if any one in Donnie Shit for Brains misadministration, or any Retrumplican has "shame".

I'll tell you what might work Madame Speaker. Let's call for states medical boards to start pulling fucking licenses.

Let's ask the AMA to start pulling memberships.

Let's have Medical schools, hospitals and medical professional organizations start pulling credentials.

Seriously, there are valid ways to hold medical professionals to standards.

Some of these fucksticks need to have action taken against them to remove them from practicing medicine.

Which reminds me...why in holy hell is John Yoo still teaching Law at Berkeley... and why does he still have a law license?
