Lamar Alexander asked Dr. Murthy about public comments on firearms, such as a tweet from before the 2012 president election that said, \u201cTired of politicians playing politics w\/ guns, putting lives at risk b\/c they\u2019re scared of NRA. Guns are a health care issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Murthy sidestepped the questions about his gun-control agenda from committee members throughout the hearing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Miller former Surgeon General Richard Carmona has written a letter to the president complaining that Murthy is unqualified for the position. But, you know, from an administration that has declared publicly that they intend to sidestep the constitutional protections afforded Americans in general and gun owners specifically, I&#8217;m sure the good doctor is wholly qualified for their purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Someone should tell Murthy that the NRA represents it&#8217;s millions of members, and that&#8217;s who Congress should be afraid of, not some little office across the river from them. Playing politics is nominating someone to a job that&#8217;s about the health of Americans, but who intends to use his position to attack the millions of gun owners who won&#8217;t surrender their guns to his ideology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our favorite journalist, Emily Miller of the Washington Times warns that Dr. Vivek Murthy, President Obama&#8217;s &hellip; <a title=\"Emily Miller: rabidly anti-gun doctor to be the next U.S. surgeon general\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39760\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Emily Miller: rabidly anti-gun doctor to be the next U.S. surgeon general<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39760\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
