Later the same day, he expressed gratitude towards former President Trump for ending certain practices at the National Institutes of Health (NIH): “I’ve been working to end the NIH’s cruel in-house beagle testing for years.” He thanked Trump for ensuring that no more dogs would suffer or die at the federal lab, stating that taxpayer money should not fund such experiments.
