Full committee hearing. Kennedy’s hearing before the Finance committee is on January 29th.
Nominee:
- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services
Kennedy’s vaccine denial and covid conspiratorialism has infected his rhetoric on climate change as well.
“Americans had enough of that during Covid, of people using the crisis — that many people believe now was manufactured — in order to clamp down totalitarian controls and shift wealth upward. And they see a mirror of that in climate.”
When he was running for president, Kennedy hired Del Bigtree, an anti-vaccine activist who rejects climate science, as his communications director. He then endorsed Trump for president.
