Mike Pence announces Debbie Birx to serve as the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator

Hey....POTUS gave CDC (0bama holdovers) their chance.....how did that work out???
Pence will put the iron fist down, on these do nothing/NeverTrumper lefty CDC peeps.
I wondered if Rod’s sis, Dr Nancy, would be at POTUS’ presser....she was not, that I could see.
I hope they have her on a short rope, as I don’t trust her.
