Trump, Kennedy defend new surgeon general pick amid MAGA backlash

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump and his health chief Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are defending the new U.S. Surgeon General nominee from attacks from influential far-right activist Laura Loomer, whose critiques of some other Trump administration officials have preceded their ouster.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday nominated Casey Means, a physician, health entrepreneur and vocal proponent of Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, after abruptly withdrawing his nomination of Janette Nesheiwat a day before her Senate committee confirmation hearing.

Loomer is a prominent voice within Trump's Make America Great Again movement and has claimed credit for influencing his personnel decisions in the past, including the dismissal of six members of his National Security Council. She called for Nesheiwat's nomination to be withdrawn earlier this week.

On Thursday, Loomer described Means as a "terrible pick by President Trump" and a "MAHA grifter" on social media platform X, saying she was not a practicing physician and citing her writings on spiritual practices.

Strange times when Loomer is right.
