Ex-RFK Jr adviser accuses Susie Wiles of throwing ‘Trump under the bus’
The Hill ^ | Nov 9, 2026 | Finya Swai

Posted on 11/09/2026 1:20:39 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

Calley Means, a key architect of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement who resigned from the administration last month, alleged that Wiles and prominent lobbyist Brian Ballard were attempting to shield themselves from criticism by portraying Trump as the driving force behind decisions that Means claims were influenced by corporate lobbyists.

Trump signed an executive order in February seeking to boost the production of the controversial herbicide glyphosate, a key ingredient used in Roundup. The order… angered supporters of the MAHA movement..

“Brian Ballard said in writing he didn’t lobby Susie or White House staff on glyphosate. Since Ballard’s disclosure below said he personally lobbied the White House in the quarter of the EO’s release, he is either lying or throwing President Trump under the bus,” Means wrote.

Um ... wasn’t she the one who ended up being thrown under the bus?

She was fired; rightfully so. Self-serving Neocon. Glad she is gone.

Never heard about this.
So I could not base my vote on this.

"She was fired."

Until I hear President Trump say it from his own lips that she was fired, this is nothing more than gossip.

This cry baby served for a year or less in Trump’s admin. RFK, Jr. brought him on board, and this is how he repays him, by whining on a talk show. So much for loyalty to the person who gave you your job. He served as an intern during George W. Bush’s second term. Perhaps he’s a Bushie after all. I find it reprehensible that ingrate’s like him, go running to the media as soon as they leave a job. Maybe he planning on running for office next time around. He should put a D behind his name.

Here’s the recent Joe Rogan podcast with RFK Jr’s close MAHA ally, Calley Means:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMBBOawFy_4

Anyone who cares about MAHA issues or about D.C. swamp-draining should find it interesting.

It helps to explain why Trump would want a new Chief of Staff and would choose Stephen Miller. RFK Jr and Calley Means are both enthusiastic about the pick.

RFK Jr posted:
“Next to me, Stephen Miller is the strongest MAHA supporter in the administration. It’s time to unleash the Kraken.”

An ai source says of Stephen Miller:

As co-author of the MAHA Commission Report (May 2025) — Miller is credited as a contributor to the report that laid out the administration’s health agenda. Its key structural proposals include:

— Closing the GRAS loophole — requiring food companies to notify the FDA before introducing ingredients they deem “generally recognized as safe”
— Defining and labeling ultra-processed foods
— Phasing out synthetic food dyes (with ~35% of the food industry already committing to removal)
— Reforming dietary guidelines to prioritize whole foods
— SNAP restrictions — supporting state waivers to limit purchases of soda and candy
— Removing harmful chemicals from the food supply and investigating pesticide exposure (particularly glyphosate) as a driver of childhood cancer
— Reducing “overmedicalization” of children, including a reformed vaccine framework

In his own recent speech, Miller framed the “heart of MAHA” as addressing environmental causes of pediatric and rampant cancer — specifically pesticides and chemical exposure — positioning the agenda as a structural, non-partisan reform effort.

“key ingredient used in Roundup”

Not anymore. Roundup no longer contains glyohosate.

"You will be waiting a long time."

Good. I'm on the tail-end of my life, and don't really give a crap about stuff like this. Hopefully I'll be dead before this country is turned into a third-world commie $hit hole, because that should be first and foremost concern in American lives, not unconfirmed claims. But, unfortunately, there are still plenty of morons in this world that care more about what the media pushes, than putting America First.

You are not making any sense. Perhaps a nice cup of Chamomile tea and a good night’s sleep :)

Ron DeSantis called Susie Wiles self-serving and disloyal since 2019. Nobody listened to him.
