Former President Donald Trump rescinded his nomination of Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General after far-right activist Laura Loomer launched social media attacks against her. Loomer criticized Nesheiwat for a previous malpractice suit, her promotion of DEI initiatives, and her advocacy for the COVID vaccine, claiming these factors made her unsuitable for the position. Reports suggest the White House is adjusting its approach as scrutiny around Trumpâs nominees grows. Loomer's pointed statements highlight ongoing challenges within the administration's vetting process for appointments as new Senate hearings approach.
In a social media post on Sunday afternoon, Loomer blasted Nesheiwat, whom she identified as the sister-in-law of former National Security Council Advisor Michael Waltz.
The vetting crisis in the Trump administration continues to reveal itself on a daily basis as new Senate confirmation hearings for Trump nominees.
