Trump has just nominated Sam Clovis, a conservative radio talk show host, to serve as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s top scientist.
Clovis has neither training in the hard sciences nor expertise in agriculture policy.
He is, by the way, an outspoken climate change denier who claims that climate science is “junk science.”
If Clovis is approved by the Senate, he would head the USDA’s research, education, and economics division.
This information is from Lancaster Farming, July 29, 2017. I have not seen any info on this on any of the cable news programs or even in the New York Times. This is the kind of policy changes the Trump administration is making while Fox, MSNBC, and CNN are caught up in the Russian scandal and the “Mooch.” I don’t think the American public has any idea of what changes this Administration is making under the radar, and I think cable news is not helping.
