White House trade adviser Peter Navarro told “Outnumbered Overtime” Thursday that ousted Trump administration scientist Dr. Rick Bright is “not just a disgruntled employee, in my judgment, he’s a deserter in the war on the China virus”, Fox news reported
Navarro called Bright “a disgruntled Obama employee on the Hill” before explaining his “harsh words” in calling Bright a “deserter.”
“He had a chance,” Navarro said. “He was asked to go over to NIH [National Institutes of Health] and lead a $1 billion initiative to get testing to the people of America and he refused to do that.”
Dr Bright has dominated headlines the last 48 hours, in another media effort to destroy President Trump .
Bright, who filed a whistleblower complaint claiming he was removed from his post for disagreeing with the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus, said Thursday that officials at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) were “dismissive” of his warning about the pandemic and said that if the government doesn’t follow his guidance “2020 will be the darkest winter in modern history.”
