Ex-RFK Jr adviser bashes White House on MAHA priorities
Means said White House aides bowed to industry pressure and blocked MAHA health priorities, including children’s diet changes and tighter limits on flavored e-cigarettes.
- On Friday, former senior adviser Calley Means accused White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles of prioritizing political fundraising over health initiatives. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Wiles will leave her post Monday, replaced by Stephen Miller.
- Means alleged on the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast that Wiles and top advisers stalled the Make America Healthy Again movement's momentum, claiming they bowed to "unrelenting" pressure from industry lobbyists to secure midterm funding.
- Wiles allegedly withheld support for healthier children's diets, telling Means, "I need the sugar industry money," while former FDA commissioner Marty Makary faced pressure to approve flavored e-cigarettes, a priority for tobacco companies donating at least $20 million to the GOP.
- While Wiles did not comment, a White House spokesperson stated Trump had "made incredible strides to Make America Healthy Again," amid reports that Wiles became a target of criticism following Republicans' midterm election losses.
- Means claimed staffers including Richard Walters, Walker Barrett, James Blair, and Tony Fabrizio killed the MAHA movement's momentum and suggested Trump fire them for playing "the game" rather than serving as the administration's "best and brightest.
