Look, what I will say about this individual is that her lawyer's statement made it abundantly clear themselves that she was not aligned with the president's mission to make America healthy again.
And the secretary asked her to resign.
She said she would.
And then she said she wouldn't.
So the president fired her, which he has every right to do.
It was President Trump who was overwhelmingly reelected on November 5th.
This woman has never received a vote in her life.
And the president has the authority to fire those who are not aligned with his mission.
A new replacement will be announced by either the president or the secretary very soon.
And the president and Secretary Kennedy are committed to restoring trust and transparency and credibility to the CDC by ensuring their leadership and their decisions are more public facing.
more accountable, strengthening our public health system and restoring it to its core mission of protecting Americans from communicable diseases, investing in innovation to prevent, detect and respond to future threats.
That's the mission of the CDC.
And we're going to make sure that folks that are in positions of leadership there are aligned with that mission.
Brian.
Look, I think if you're doing your job well and if you are executing on the vision and the promises that the president made to the public who elected him back to this office, then you should have no fear about your job.
Just do your job.
That's what this president wants to see.
He wants to see people solving problems.
