A senior official from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Sunday offered a pointed rebuke of White House trade adviser Peter Navarro's scathing criticism of the top health agency in the latest sign of growing tension between the CDC and the White House.
"We should remind Mr. Navarro that the CDC is a federal agency part of the administration. The CDC director is an appointed position, and Dr. (Robert) Redfield was appointed by President (Donald) Trump," the official told CNN.
"If there is criticism of the CDC, ultimately Mr. Navarro is being critical of the President and the man who President Trump placed to lead the agency."
The comments come after Navarro slammed the CDC earlier Sunday, saying, "it let the country down" on testing during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."

A narcissist loves to have people fighting each other so they can come in and pretend to save the day with some new "false" line of BS. This will only get worse, and the only good thing is he will drag down the whole republican part with him since the majority of them in the House and Senate seem to be so compromised by him they have to continue to protect him so their dirty little secrets don't come out.
All I can say is the dirty secrets must be pretty bad!
