“Birx described her interactions with Trump as “respectful in public and very clear in private”

Well, we are so glad for that. Yes Sir and No Sir, but mostly Yes Sir it looks like.

Nice try, but if she wants to retread her image, she should have followed Fauci’s lead instead.

Don’t believe what I did, believe what I am telling you. She has slides and data and that makes her worth keeping?

Birx needs to turn in her medical license and start wearing a hard cervical collar along with Dr. Redfield that other compromised fraud, who also needs a hard cervical collar from all the head nods both did in assent to that short-fingered, prevaricating, swindlers repeated lies about COVID19.

So you’re very clear in private, then respectfully mute when Trump blatantly lies in public. I’m sure that’s exactly the kind of person Biden is looking for.

Birx argued that she’s “often found it’s really important” to deliver “something challenging” in private…

Isn’t that just precious?! She actually thinks that Trump was listening to her! She didn’t notice that he never listens to anyone, on any subject.

Her only effectiveness would have been in delivering a clear, unequivocal message in public. What she said in private with Trump is utterly irrelevant.

She makes me angry because she slipped right into that stereotypical women’s role publicly - polite, silent.

We have a month or so of reputation renovation. There should be a HGTV show or something. But in the meantime, ponder this.

Reserving judgment until she’s able to get out from under the restraints of who we call donnie dirtbag and she must deal with as “the President”. We’ll see. I’m interested in what she has to say once trump is out of office and Joe Biden is sworn in.

Translation: I may only appear to be a pathetic, servile lickspittle straight from North Korean TV in public, but I am very clear and leave absolutely no doubt in private where I never remove my tongue from my Drumpfenfuhrer’s ass.
