Dr. Amy Acton resigns as Ohio health director
The Washington Times ^ | 6/10/2020 | Julie Carr Smyth

Posted on 06/11/2020 2:12:16 PM PDT by grayboots

Dr. Amy Acton has resigned as Ohio’s health director, Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday, capping a contentious few months as the target of frustrations during the coronavirus pandemic that included gun-carrying critics showing up at her home.

Acton was most recently sued by organizers of music festivals and restaurant owners as the slow reopening unfolded.

“I really want to say most of all to Ohioans: Ohioans, you have saved lives. You’ve done this,” she said at a news briefing.

Acton, who called her time as the state health director an “honor of a lifetime,” faced House Republicans seeking to restrict her authority last month due as frustrations grew over aggressive stay-at-home orders.

The governor has defended Acton, saying his fellow Republicans should be focused on increasing coronavirus testing, dealing with a $775 million budget deficit and reopening the economy.

I wanted her protested, but never liked armed people showing up at homes, because it is way too easy for the left to get information about our homes, and if THEY show up at our houses, they won’t stop at screaming from the street while waving guns,

hopefully the first of many health directors and other ‘experts’ (like Fauci) to come before of this lockdown farce.

I was amazed at how “Republican-Conservative” Governor DeWine got away with raising gas taxes last year but I guess people are now understanding his drift crystal clear.

This is the kind of guy the “conservative” talk show hosts kiss up to and call a “great American” and so on when they appear on their shows.

Former Obama crony. Funny how these “public health” officials are all Democrat thugs.

State nanny couldn’t handle the rebellion against the nanny state.

Her patronizing, smug delivery was like water torture.

She and DeWine passed the buck back and forth as they repeatedly ducked the question ‘Who made the final decision on this?’

DeWine was a Gang of Eighter - a McCain/Romney type prepared to sell out principle for praise.

To be fair, Dewine was using her, but yeah, she folded.

Good. This incompetent triggered Governor to start the dominoes falling across the country when they cancelled the very popular Arnold (Swartzenegger) Fitness Classic.

Ohio and the country suffered a horrible blow due to this dimwit amateur, Dr. FauXi wannabe.
