AUBURN, Ala.: White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx on Thursday pushed back against a report that said she was distressed over the direction of the task force and was considering leaving.
During a livestreamed news conference at Auburn University in Alabama, Birx was asked about a CNN report that said she was frustrated with what she saw as a diminished role and questioned how long she could remain in the role. Birx said she was not considering leaving.
Do I look like a person that is diminished? Ill tell you that is the first time those adjectives have ever been used in describing my behavior, Birx said. She also urged the state to extend its mask mandate.
We are in the middle of a pandemic that is affecting Americans. As an American, I think I can do the best service to my country right now…
