Trump Forces Obama’s Gun-Control Surgeon General To Resign, Replaces Him With Non-Doctor

April 23, 2017 By Erik Walters

Obama appointed Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, a major proponent of gun control and Obamacare, was asked to resign by the Trump administration.

The official statement from the Trump administration read: “Dr. Murthy, the leader of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, was asked to resign from his duties as Surgeon General after assisting in a smooth transition into the new Trump Administration.”

Dr. Murthy has been relieved of his duties as Surgeon General and will continue to serve as a member of the Commissioned Corps,” the statement went on to say Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price “thanks him for his dedicated service to the nation.”
.
According to Vox reports:

He’ll be replaced by Rear Admiral Sylvia Trent-Adams, a nurse and current Deputy Surgeon General. She’s the first person who’s not a doctor to take the job.

Murthy’s four year term would have run until the end of this year. His nomination to the position was blocked by Senate Republicans for over a year, in part due to pressure from the NRA over Murthy’s gun control advocacy.

Murthy co-founded Doctors for America in May 2009, an organization of doctors who supported Obama’s signature healthcare legislation.

His office recently released a report on how to combat the opioid epidemic, but he hasn’t been asked to join Trump’s opioid commission.”
