White House pulls out surgeons before Senate confirmation hearing

WASHINGTON - The White House withdrew Dr. Janette Nesheiwat’s nomination on Wednesday as a U.S. surgeon, and a few days later, right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer criticized the previous nominee for the Covid vaccine and accused her of promoting “a DEI-focused initiative.”

Trump confirmed Nesheiwat's withdrawal in a truth-fact social position, and he also announced that Dr. Casey means it will be his new option for the position.

"Dr. Casey means becoming one of the best surgeons in American history. Congratulations to Casey! Secretary Kennedy looks forward to working with Dr. Janette Nesheiwat in another identity with HHS."

Nesheiwat plans to hold a confirmation hearing on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee Thursday morning.

According to her website, Nesheiwat is a board-certified physician who has served as a medical news correspondent and medical director at CityMed. She previously worked as a medical contributor at Fox News.

Loomer shared a lengthy post Sunday accusing Nesheiwat of being “entangled in complex medical malpractice lawsuits” and highlighted her past support for the Covid vaccine. Nesheiwat encourages the use of vaccines and boosters when he worked as a Fox News writer.

"We have many vaccines that can treat all kinds of non-life threatening diseases, but to use pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines, which can actually save you from dying, is a gift from God," Nesheiwat wrote in Fox News.

Loomer, who has been influential in removing Trump aides, said Nesheiwat's support for the Covid vaccine "makes her unfit for the role of a U.S. surgeon, and the U.S. Senate should not confirm her in the position."

Nesheiwat did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.

Nesheiwat, the sister son of former national security adviser Michael Waltz, was reviewed last week for the creation of a signal chat team, discussing sensitive military information, which inadvertently included journalists.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, surgeons oversee the commissioned legion of the U.S. Department of Public Health Services, which has more than 6,000 public health professionals.

Trump praised his new nominee for being "impeccable 'Maha' qualifications" and said she will work with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr to "reversal the chronic disease epidemic and ensure a great health for all Americans in the future."
