AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — 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? I’ll 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 by serving in this role, working across the agencies because that is the experience that I have,” Birx said.
Birx said it would be “on me if I was distressed, right? Because I’m supposed to be coordinating the groups.”

Of course not. She’ll ride that gravy train ala Ginsburg. Does she not have grandkids?
Ping to the Auburn list!
Ping to the State list.
NEW: A 'distressed' Birx questions how long she can remain on White House task force, sources say https://t.co/s7IlL6nfli— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) September 23, 2020
She and MeeMaw are in cahoots. I hate face diapers.
All those scarves cost money.
You may be right, but I think MeeMaw is afraid, since it affects her generation more severely than the rest of us.
What the hell is the scarf queen doing in my state?
You might be right. I won’t wear the face diaper. I don’t obey Memaw. The legislature of Alabama has passed NO SUCH LAW.
Oh good! /sarc
Birx says her role isn't diminished and that she doesn't want to leave.
I am the same. I don’t wear face diapers, unless an owner of a private business requests me to wear one (although I wait until I actually interact with a human).
Memaw is such a disappointment.
I was hoping she was considering leaving the US.
“...I was hoping she was considering leaving the US....”
Yep...for a cell at GITMO as a domestic enemy terrorist.
Slave masks is what they are.
Honest? She’s a pest.
But I’d like to see hillary, bill, barrack, michelle, a bunch of FBI guys, a lot of democrats and every rioter put away before her.
She’s more Out of Touch than traitorous, I think.
She talked about just having everything you need delivered to you for a month back when this virus was a few months in.
For her everything can be ordered and delivered.
She sounded like a queen speaking to the serfs.
Then again, maybe she is a traitor.
or both :)
Nondenial denial that she conveyed that as reported.
Pence is to blame for bringing her on, Trump to blame for keeping her and her CABAL out front and center as long as he did.
