Charmaine Yoest has been a vocal spokesperson for the conservative Christian fundamentalist movement, appearing on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and in print media to excoriate reproductive rights, the "homosexual agenda," transpeople, feminism... all the usual targets of the religious right. She served in the Reagan White House, and she was president and CEO of Americans United for Life from 2008 to early 2016. She and her husband also run a blog to promote her views: Reasoned Audacity a/k/a charmaineyoest.com.

In late April 2017 Trump appointed her to a high-level position in the Department of Health and Human Services: Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, which means she's in charge of the Department's communications with the press and the public. She oversees HHS's website and social media, press releases, media campaigns, speechwriting, Freedom of Information Act division, and promotion of public-health initiatives.

Immediately, the Yoests scrubbed charmaineyoest.com of certain posts. They were very selective. Everything about abortion stayed. Everything about LGBTQ matters was deleted. Most posts about Christianity were left in place, although a few were cut. And one posting about rape was taken down.
