Trump selects an L.A. holistic medicine doctor for surgeon general. A doctor friend wonders whether her views on medicine sync with those of Health Secretary Kennedy.
Maybe she was far less weird, but she was still far too weird to be someone I trust in a position of power. A rabid raccoon is a lot less threatening than a rabid polar bear, but I’m not sticking my hand near either of their mouths.
I don’t like her views on pseudomedicine, and there was some troubling reporting on how she’s verbally abusive to staff, but on basically every important political issue she’s better than most mainline Democrats. The soundbites and debates definitely made her sound weird but on 1-1 interviews she seemed fairly well-spoken and with admirable ideals and moral consistency. When most politicians on both sides of the aisle are supporting crackdowns on migrants, tariffs on renewable technologies, and genocide, it definitely seems to me that some weirdness isn’t really the top priority here. At the very least she was the best candidate, policy-wise, on the 2024 Dem primary ballot.
