Coburn was an interesting guy. Before he was a Senator, hw as an obstetrician. The state of OK claimed that he committed Medicaid fraud
He was, to put it succinctly,
But back to the 2007 audit.
The audit notes that the CDC paid for a porn star and a transgender beauty contest. It turns out that this is true... sort of.
So, to be transparent, in 2002 the CDC realized $500 of its grant money was being paid to a pornstar to talk about infectious diseases, the CDC objected, and the money was returned
But they, there's still that transgender beauty pageant, right? That seems like reason to disregard scientists! So what's the deal with that?
In 2001 - seriously, I shit you not, 2001 - The United Territories of Polynesian Islanders’ Alliance put on an LGBTQ event to raise awareness
That's it. That's the connection Fox News and Michelle Malkin are making between CDC officials who have the audacity to disagree with President Trump's off the cuff science guesses and funding transgender beauty pageants and porn stars.
Like someone who worried kids would find Schinlders list overly erotic, I guess.
