@arstechnica more poisoning the well so no one believes the scientists when they get back. No one will care it was #TheSeditiousFeloninCharge and his #bootlickers (to be civil) they will just remember the bad feeling trusting quacks leaves after their remedies dont work.

@arstechnica And every Republican will vote for her because they'll be outed as sex offenders if they don't do King Trump's bidding.

@arstechnica sounds perfectly qualified in the alternative reality of US health policy.

If it looks like a quack and it quacks like a quack it is a quack...

@arstechnica maybe as "Surgeon" General she could practice some brain surgery on some of those politicians supporting her

@arstechnica it’s illegal even to attempt to practice medicine without a license, right? Is that enough of a crime to qualify her for this administration?

@arstechnica She apparently also thought she was attending the Oscars instead of a congressoinal hearing.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Means, are we keeping you from some soirée you've planned right after this? Do you have a limo idling outside?"

@wesdym @arstechnica I thought she was wearing her nightie.

@arstechnica “alternative” makes it sound like it’s just “different” but it’s actually counter scientific quackery that will kill children and adults
