President Trump Just Fired Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy. The NRA And Gun Owners Thank Him.
IWB ^ | Pamela Williams

Posted on 04/22/2017 7:40:34 AM PDT by davikkm

There was dispute when Obama first nominated Murthy. The NRA is against Dr. Murthy as Surgeon General because he holds anti-gun beliefs, which he has made known on Twitter.

He founded an organization that supports Obama. Doctors for America was formerly known as Doctors for Obama. It’s an organization of 16,000 doctors and medical students whose goal is improving health-care access…yet he was totally for Obamacare.

The Department of Health and Human Services made this statement:

Dr. Murthy had been asked to resign, and that he would be replaced temporarily by Rear Adm. Sylvia Trent-Adams, the current deputy Surgeon General.

“Today, Dr. Murthy, the leader of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, was asked to resign from his duties as Surgeon General after assisting in a smooth transition into the new Trump Administration,” the statement said.

“Dr. Murthy has been relieved of his duties as Surgeon General and will continue to serve as a member of the Commissioned Corps,” the statement continued, adding that Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price “thanks him for his dedicated service to the nation.”

Filling Surgeon General will be a real test of if President Trump is still with the Deplorables. It’s way past time we had a Surgeon General who is unabashedly pro-life.

Rest:

The firing of Dr. Murthy was essential in keeping with the policies of the Trump Administration. President Trump is starting to furnish the American people with a better healthcare system. I am sure Dr. Murthy is a fine doctor, as his friends say, but he is in defiance of the needs of the American citizens.

We do not want to lose our Second Amendment Rights, because there are those who actually think guns are the problem. The problem is if a gun falls into the hands of an individual who uses it as a tool to commit a crime. A gun is a tool that can be used to save a life or to lose a life, but it is the tool in the hands of man, similar to a hammer or a knife.

As a society, to blame guns for a crime instead of the individual who uses that gun to commit a crime, is a totally false mindset. Yet the Obama Administration embraced this mindset, which speaks for itself.

But even more troubling is the fact that the same Administration has been said to have participated in the crime known as gun running. This Administration is criminal in itself and have tried to blame the evil actions of a populace not on the morals of the populace; instead on the tools of that populace.

There is no place in the Trump Administration for those seeking to take away the Second Amendment Rights of the American people. Goodbye, Dr. Murthy, take care and tell Obama to leave President Trump and the American people alone.

There shouldn’t even be a “surgeon general” in the first place.

So let’s save a few pennies and eliminate the entire office.

Little by little the swamp is being drained, one liberal bastard at a time. Wish he would do a wholesale purge!

YES! That is what President Trump needs to do, immediately! Get rid of every man, woman, he/she that Obama put in. Just fire them all. Better empty seats than those filled with commies, gun-grabbers, anti-Constitutionalists,etc.

Add the scam departments like the EPA, the NEA, the education department and the IRS and it will be a saving of billions to taxpayers.

It will take Trump his whole first term to get the Democrat Slime out of what he inherited.

The author chooses her words poorly.

It is not a “false” mindset; it is all-too-real and spreads like a virus.

It is a DEFECTIVE PREMISE on which those anti-gunners besmirch every law-abiding citizen with their adopted hypocrisy...

Dr. Vivek Murthy should have his license to practice medicine revoked.
