To get to the US Senate for a vote on his nomination, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needs to have two committee hearings, and the first one isn't going well for the bizarre anti-vaxxer. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) grilled Donald's pick for Health and Human Services Secretary over his controversial statements, including on COVID-19, abortion, Lyme disease, and AIDs. Kennedy repeatedly lied, of course.
"Mr. Kennedy, what is so disturbing to me is that out of 330 million Americans, we're being asked to put somebody in this job who has spent 50 years of his life not honoring the tradition that he talked about at the beginning of this conversation, but peddling in half-truths, peddling in false statements, peddling in theories that you know create doubt about whether or not things that we know are safe are unsafe," Bennet said.
"Not that every vaccine in America is unsafe, not that you can't possibly have an adverse reaction, but that parents and children in my old school district and school districts all over this country would be better off not getting vaccinated than getting vaccinated," he continued. ", Unlike his own children who were vaccinated, unlike the people he invited to his house in Los Angeles for their party who were vaccinated for everybody else, it's about peddling these half-truths, and he says it with such conviction that you want to believe him."
