Face The Nation(@FaceTheNation):Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) says President Trump’s pick for U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Nicole Saphier “did earn my vote,” but says if FDA commissioner nominee Dr. Heidi Overton wants to earn his vote, she needs to understand “that calling the measles vaccines lethal is absurd.” “We should have a common voice of radical honesty, of trying to help the American people understand what is safe,” he says. “And if the president calls it lethal, then where are you getting your information, Mr. President? And if you really don't have it, why are you willing to risk the lives of fellow Americans?”
