There are usually two sides to every story. My friend @emilymiller has written a remarkable account of her public “firing” at the FDA last year. It’s a story of spin and betrayal and offers real insight in how Washington works….
…Emily writes that she had nothing to do with FDA chief Stephen Hahn’s very public mistake at a White House news briefing, repeated by President Trump. But he needed a sacrificial lamb to distract from the PR disaster…
Yet even as she was being “fired” for PR reasons, Emily was asked to stay on as Hahn’s senior advisor. She had only been at the FDA for two weeks and had just moved back to Texas. Where could she go?…
Emily has written this story in two parts. Here’s part one…..emilypostnews.com/p/the-real-sto…
…and here’s part two...emilypostnews.com/p/the-real-sto…
(And yes, it’s behind a paywall. But it’s not expensive and it’s a juicy, interesting story —a behind the scenes look inside the dysfunction of the Trump administration during the pandemic.)
