President Trump’s nominee for surgeon general, Nicole Saphier, has deleted a large number of posts on the social media platform X that previously criticized the administration and former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to multiple reports. CNN unearthed archived versions of the posts, which The Hill and Mediaite describe as showing Saphier criticizing aspects of health-related guidance and recommendations attributed to the administration, as well as taking issue with RFK Jr.’s policies. Reports also describe Saphier as a former Fox News contributor and a radiologist. While the outlets characterize the deleted posts as critical, the articles also frame the content as what can be seen in archived material rather than present public posts, noting that she has already removed them. The Independent similarly reports that Saphier criticized both Trump and RFK Jr. in posts that are now deleted. Together, the coverage focuses on the disappearance of the posts and what archived copies indicate about her prior public statements ahead of her nomination.
