After Robert F. Kennedy’s tense three-hour hearing on his nomination as secretary of the Department of Human Health and Services, Republican and Democratic senators remain fiercely divided over the health activist who now represents a large part of President Donald Trump’s coalition.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., emerged from the hearing to tell the press that after hours of Kennedy being grilled on his proposals for health policy, he didn’t believe Kennedy had been forthright with the Senate Finance Committee.
“When we tried to get out some of the specifics, like his many anti-vaccination statements with his few pro-vaccination statements, and we asked him to explain this—I mean, what way was he lying—he basically served up a big plate of word salad.”
