Well, of course the NRA does that! The NRA, known for being on the cutting edge of medicine and public health, CERTAINLY able to judge the qualifications of any leader in 21st century medical practice. /snark

Please, please, please Dems - stand up to the NRA and vote for this nominee. (Is this the actual quote from the NRA??? - “The NRA’s position hasn’t changed. America’s next surgeon general should not be a political operative whose lack of professional inexperience has been a source of bipartisan concern,” Andrew Arulanandan, a top NRA spokesman, told TPM.")

Who cares what the NRA has to say. Thanks ted cruz for being an idiot.

So… his “lack of professional inexperience” means that he does have professional experience, right?

Good catch!

The NRA wants a minimum RDA for gunshots established, and Murthy isn’t convinced.

“NRA opposition had put some moderate Democrats in a tough spot”

Bullshit. If the NRA’s position on ANYTHING “puts you in a tough spot,” then YOU ARE NOT A MODERATE.

“Moderate” =/= “frightened, spineless and so self-serving as to be regularly cowed by extremists.”
