Moving on from Means is a blow to the Make America Healthy Again movement, and Trump and his allies blamed Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saphier, a radiologist and author, is Trump\u2019s third nominee to be Surgeon General in his second term after Means and fellow Fox News contributor Janette Nesheiwat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNicole is a STAR physician who has spent her career guiding women facing breast cancer through their diagnosis and treatment while tirelessly advocating to increase early cancer detection and prevention, while at the same time working with men and women on all other forms of cancer diagnoses and treatments,\u201d Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, calling Saphier an \u201cincredible communicator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and his allies directly blamed Cassidy, chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, for Means\u2019s nomination failing to advance in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He called the senator, a physician who voted to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. despite deep concerns with his vaccine policies, \u201cdisloyal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The health committee said it declined to hold a vote on Means because she didn\u2019t have the support to be confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor months, Senator Bill Cassidy (of the GREAT State of Louisiana!), a very disloyal person whose \u2018TRUMP\u2019 Endorsement got him elected, but later voted to impeach \u2018President Trump\u2019 on what has now proven to be a total Hoax and Scam, has stood in the way of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s Nominee, Casey Means, for the important position of U.S. Surgeon General,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kennedy also joined in the attacks, writing on social media: \u201cBy sabotaging this appointment, Bill Cassidy once again did the dirty work for entrenched interests seeking to stall the MAHA movement and protect the very status quo that has made America the sickest nation on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White House senior adviser Calley Means, Casey\u2019s brother, echoed these sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBill Cassidy is a mindless avatar for his donors and a blind defender of the status quo system that is profiting from American sickness,\u201d he added. \u201cAt every turn during Casey\u2019s confirmation, Bill Cassidy worked to delay her and smear her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
