Former Hill Reporter Resigns From Show After Being Removed Before Fauci Interview

A quarrel over interviewing Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to Kim Iversen, a former reporter for The Hill and co-host of the well-liked online program "Rising," is what caused her hasty resignation, she revealed to Russell Brand.

Iversen, a vocal opponent of vaccines, abruptly left the program after hearing rumors that she was being stabbed in the back by colleagues who mockingly referred to her as a "conspiracy theorist," a term that has long been the most derogatory term applied to those who dare to pose uncomfortable questions and express opinions that differ from the official establishment line.

Speaking at a "Defeat the Mandates" rally in Los Angeles in April and tweets like the one from last year in which she wrote, "I can't believe that after fully vaccinated travelers have been found to be the global spreaders of the omicron variant, we're STILL talking about forcing people to be vaccinated," were her greatest offenses.

Her criticism of the jabs and the Hill's reputation as a D.C. establishment publication set her on a collision path with management, as was expected. According to Iversen, things reached a boiling point during the Fauci interview, which she claimed she was barred from taking part in.
