Sen. Schumer: ‘Today, I Am Calling on Secretary Azar to Resign Immediately’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “And too many people within HHS are trying to suppress the science. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, has not only failed to push back against these outrageous moves by President Trump, he has been almost entirely silent about the chaos and mismanagement in his own agency. In the Trump's — in Trump's administration, the most important skill is the ability to stand up to the President and resist political influence. More in an agency like HHS than others where the health of Americans is at stake. It has become abundantly clear that the leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services has allowed perhaps the most important federal agency right now to become subservient to the President's daily whims. So today I am calling on Secretary Azar to resign immediately. We need a Secretary of Health and Human Services who will look out for the American people, not President Trump's political interests."
