Original headline & subhead:
New C.D.C. Director Resists Ouster as Other Officials Resign
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is said to have demanded that the director, Susan Monarez, either quit or be fired. Her lawyers say she won’t resign.
Democrats are rightly calling for Kennedy's removal:
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong.
If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
