Fox News Digital reported Monday that the Biden administration has appointed several HIV/AIDS experts to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) who "previously worked for prominent progressive advocacy groups including Planned Parenthood and touted work on 'woke' issues such as 'health equity' and 'queer liberation.'" This "exclusive" information came from résumés obtained by America First Legal through a Freedom of Information Act request, Fox News said.
Some of these political appointees to PACHA are gay, and "they were sworn into their positions by transgender Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine," Fox News said. Asked for comment, the White House responded with an image of a shirt that reads: "Uncle Sam doesn't care, snowflakes."
