Dr.Birx finally telling the truth about Trump

I didn't see the whole interview but just a clip and don't remember where it was from. But the clip I saw shows her talking about how Trump would show graphs or other things which were not made by her so there was someone or some place else he was getting these things to show the public.

Yet she continued to work for him and said nothing about his spreading false info. In fact she praised him in a way that comes off gross in how much it sucks up to him.

If he had "won" and stayed in office would she have continued to stay silent about his lies ?

If anyone saw the whole interview did she have any regret ?

She does have regrets. It was Face The Nation. She could have done more, but there was a culture of ignoring her.

like other women, maybe? I heard Dr. Fauci recently mentioning her and her work admiringly.

perception of her because of it. What an impossible climate. She was muzzled as Fauci was, and our exposure to her and what she was doing, or trying to do, behind the scenes was opaque to us. Her efforts were with Pence, and her communications will come out at some point.
