U.S. Journal Denounces Move To Block Nomination Of Vivek Murthy
Murthy has already said in his testimony before the Senate HELP Committee that if confirmed, his principal focus will be on the national problem of obesity prevention not firearm policy, it said.
"Still, 10 Senate Democrats are apparently prepared to vote against Murthy's confirmation because of his personal views on firearms - a demonstration of just how much political power our legislators have ceded to the NRA.
"By obstructing the president's nomination of Vivek Murthy as surgeon general, the NRA is taking its single-issue political blackmail to a new level," the Journal alleged.
"With the record of past surgeons general as their guide, senators should do what is right for the health of the country by confronting the NRA and voting their own conscience. Murthy is an accomplished physician, policymaker, leader and entrepreneur. He deserves the President's continued backing and should be confirmed," it said.
Murthy, whose parents immigrated to the US from India, has lived the American dream, the journal said.
