(Radio Iowa) – Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Davenport says email obtained by a U-S House subcommittee shows the senior scientific advisor in the National Institutes of Health has made vile comments about women in medicine.

Miller-Meeks questioned Dr. David Morens during a congressional hearing about his email about the female director of the C-D-C, saying she wore a skirt and was considered the cat’s pajamas by another man.

Morens admits it was a misogynistic, snarky comment and he started to apologize during the hearing, but Miller-Meeks interrupted, saying it indicates how Morens views women.
