Will Rep. Ocasio-Cortez still think Mike Pence 'literally doesn't believe in science' after this pick to coordinate the coronavirus response team?

As we told you this morning, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took issue with President Trump’s choice to head up the U.S. coronavirus response team:

Local socialist who just tried to make Mike Pence president now has concerns he's leading the #COVID19 response https://t.co/ESRfpJiaxb

And just like that, AOC’s tweet became a talking point:

When you hear Dems say "Mike Pence does not believe in science" today… it's started here ? https://t.co/OREgD6yAg1

First of all:

If you use the phrase "believe in science," you don't know what science is. https://t.co/RQoNSDi03P

Thank you!

And with that out of the way, what angle will AOC use to slam this choice from Pence?

Deborah Birx is joining White House coronavirus team. Birx is career government official who was nominated by Obama in 2014 as US global AIDS coordinator responsible for overseeing humanitarian aid programs combating epidemic.
