Senate Democrats pulled out their tired old playbook Tuesday, launching a vicious confirmation hearing attack against President Trump's surgeon general nominee Dr. Casey Means over the abortion pill mifepristone. But this patriotic doctor refused to take their bait.
During testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, Dr. Means wisely declined to answer loaded questions about whether mifepristone should only be prescribed after an in-person examination. The radical left senators were clearly fishing for soundbites they could weaponize against both Means and the Trump administration.
This is exactly the kind of shameless political theater Americans are sick and tired of. Instead of focusing on Dr. Means' qualifications to serve as the nation's top doctor, Democrats turned the hearing into another abortion circus designed to generate negative headlines for conservative media to amplify.
Smart Strategy: Don't Feed the Beast
Dr. Means showed incredible wisdom by refusing to play the Democrats' gotcha game. Any answer she gave would have been twisted and taken out of context by the mainstream media propaganda machine. By staying focused on her actual qualifications and vision for American health, she demonstrated exactly the kind of strategic thinking we need in the Trump administration.
"The American people didn't vote for more political theater - they voted for competent leaders who will actually improve their lives," one GOP committee member noted.
The reality is that Democrats have zero interest in Dr. Means' plans to tackle America's real health crises - the obesity epidemic, mental health disasters, and chronic diseases plaguing our communities. They only care about scoring cheap political points on their favorite wedge issues.
This confirmation hearing perfectly illustrates why voters gave Trump and Republicans such a decisive mandate in 2024. Patriots are done with Democrats who prioritize political games over solving real problems facing American families.
Will Dr. Means survive this partisan witch hunt and get confirmed to help Make America Healthy Again? The answer depends on whether Senate Republicans have the backbone to stand up to the left's confirmation circus.
