Trump names anti-abortion leader Yoest to top HHS post

By RACHANA PRADHAN 04/28/17 10:32 AM EDT Updated 04/28/17 03:03 PM EDT

"President Donald Trump on Friday said he would name one of the most prominent anti-abortion activists in the country to a top communications post at HHS.

Charmaine Yoest, tapped to be assistant secretary of public affairs, is a senior fellow at American Values. She is the former president of Americans United for Life, which has been instrumental in advancing anti-abortion legislation at the state level to restrict access to the procedure.

Her appointment was quickly panned by Democratic lawmakers and prominent abortion rights organizations. The assistant secretary of public affairs shapes communications efforts for the entire agency."

45 knows nothing. Bannon, Miller and Priebus likely don't care much despite what Priebus might say.

and whats really amazing is that know as we speak the corporate media is still trying to normalize this sexual predator and his cabinet, not one word on this woman being placed in this position, not one. They are running is "new" ad about his 100 days BS. Know mention of TREASON, but they run that ad with that Gorsuch Hypocrite being the lead article in the ad.

I think we should have national FU day for this hypocrite
