WATCH: Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto questions RFK Jr. in confirmation hearing
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., questioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday in his confirmation hearing for health and human services secretary. Kennedy appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance. For years, Kennedy, an environmental lawyer, has spread misinformation and falsehoods about vaccines and their safety, including the heavily debunked claim that they cause autism. Kennedy has also promoted drinking raw milk, which the Food and Drug Administration says can pose a “serious health risk.” His views on these issues and others have prompted concern among health experts about his nomination. Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, ran for president as an independent in 2024 before dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump.

Very glad that she's one of my senators! "You will be enforcing EMTALA laws, and it's important that you understand their impact & don't play politics with the patient presenting at the ER based on a position that this administration has taken:" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwdm...
youtu.be/KwdmPpVG4hE?... And the party continues with Ms. Cortez Masto, with RFKJr still fumbling the ball away 😂 what a total, unmitigated disaster for the Republicans!
So proud of my senator. youtu.be/KwdmPpVG4hE
CCM even eviscerated this guy as a lawyer 😂 We know he’s not a scientist or doctor so she really sealed the deal (and in plain English! Love her)! youtu.be/KwdmPpVG4hE?...

IMHO. This was the most important and revealing portion of questioning today. Disturbing answers from someone who will serve as the secretary of health Senator Cortez-Masto (D-NV)
"I don't know".... MKennedy is a lawyer. youtu.be/KwdmPpVG4hE?...
