Before he became MAGA or MAHA, RFK Jr. floated. for decades around the margins of the left, touting anti-vaxxer rhetoric and other dangerous conspiracies and disinformation.
Donald Trump has consistently demonstrated his lack of interest in governing, and he has gone out of his way to build an administration that reflects his lack of curiosity, disinterest, and disregard for expertise.
It’s harder to find someone qualified for his Cabinet-level role in Trump 2.0 than it is to find someone who isn’t.
RFK Jr. testified before the House today in his capacity as HHS Secretary, and the results ranged from disturbing to very disturbing.
For example, the HHS Secretary claimed that Joe Biden caused the chronic disease epidemic.
Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) said, “The things he inherited? He increased the deficit by more than any administration in the history of America as part of the big, beautiful bill that is not something he inherited.”
Sec. Kennedy responded: “This president has done more to protect public health than any president in history. He is the first. You are the ones who gave us the chronic disease epidemic. We are the unhealthiest population on earth.”
Suozzi asked, “Did all that happen in the last four years of the Biden administration?”
Kennedy said, “You guys, it happened. It all happened. It was the Clinton administration. You’ve been politicians all your lives.”
