Laura Loomer, a right-wing provocateur and prominent supporter of President Trump, has set her sights on Dr. Casey Means, the physician-turned-wellness influencer who Trump tapped as his new nominee to be U.S. surgeon general on Wednesday.
In a series of posts on social platform X that began shortly after Trump’s announcement, Loomer accused the president’s advisers of poor vetting and attacked Means’s background.
This is honestly insane,” she wrote in one post Thursday morning. “I do not believe for one second that Donald Trump made this decision. I refuse to believe it.”
Loomer went on to label chronic-disease entrepreneur Means, a close ally of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the “Make American Healthy Again” — or MAHA — movement, a “Marxist tree hugger.”
“PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PICK FOR US SURGEON GENERAL CASEY MEANS SAID SHE PRAYS TO INANIMATE OBJECTS, COMMUNICATES WITH SPIRIT MEDIUMS, USES SHROOMS AS ‘PLANT MEDICINE’ AND TALKS TO TREES! SHE ALSO DOESN’T EVEN HAVE AN ACTIVE MEDICAL LICENSE,” Loomer wrote between two red alert emojis.
I sure wish it was Ronny Jackson.
In find it hard to believe that someone like fauci was more qualified.
Ooohhh boy....here we go again....
If Loomer is wrong, she could face a big liable lawsuit.
Why can’t Trump just hire the awesome FL Surgeon General?? Susie Wiles?
maybe Pres. Trump should hire Loomer as Director of Vetting...
Trump needs to fire the person making these recommendations. We had a bunch of awful picks in 16. Not this time.
I don’t think Trump gives a crap who the surgeon general is and just left the pick up to RFK Jr.
My wife and I met with a holistic doctor the other day as she’s starting treatment for breast cancer.
I joke about witches brew and stuff, but this lady was very impressive.
She wasn’t against traditional treatment instead she offers alternatives along with traditional. We’re doing a hybrid. Surgery (debating mastectomy vs lumpectomy) along with natural treatments with food, supplements, sauna and tinctures. We won’t be hugging trees but plan to do plenty of time outdoors.
Trump should announce late tonight that he’s decided to appoint Dr. Dre to this post.
I watched a Tucker interview of Case Means and her brother a month or two ago. That’s all I know of her, but I’d be fine with her as surgeon general.
That’s actually a good idea. She’s weird, but she’s like a dog with a bone when it comes to research.
Dr. Jill is available. Shrooms aren’t plants. This is a ceremonial job. The only Surgeon General I remember was Coop because of the goofy beard and the Love Boat uniform. I remember Obama had a big fat ghettopotomaous as a SG.
“ Trump needs to fire the person making these recommendations. We had a bunch of awful picks in 16. Not this time.”
Maybe, but I would need more than the words of Loony Loomer before acting on anything.
Casey Means was apparently at the top of her class at Stanford. She didn’t think normal medicine was getting at the root causes of disease and so diverted into focusing on a more healthy lifestyle and healthy food. I’m fine with that since OBVIOUSLY American’s overall health is in bad shape.
So the dad wrote a book most of us don’t agree with and Loomer pounces. Nevertheless, I think the Dr can have a good influence on what ails us.
“(debating mastectomy vs lumpectomy) “
That was my dilemma in 2014. Most said it was ok to do lumpectomy because the spot was minuscule, but I choose single mastectomy. There were too many stories of recurrences after lumpectomy. Anyhow... FWIW.
You’ll get varied opinions.
As per usual, she is right on Medicaid and completely off the wall on this...
Or eliminate the Cabinet position totally. Nesheiwat was a frickin’ nightmare. Now this.
