#RFKJr
These Senators are clowns. They ask a complex question and demand a yes or no question when neither would address the issue fully. It's like they just got out of a discount law school thinking they are slick trial lawyers all of the sudden. RFK Jr. will still be confirmed despite the antics of Democrats and NBC.
Huh???? Did you watch the same hearing?
He was asked if he said something, which is a "yes" or "no". That's it. Nothing more or less. And he couldn't even answer that. Instead, he sat there shaking like a chihuahua. It would be hard for me to give a straight answer too if I said half of the whacked out stuff he has.
His shaking concerned me. I was beginning to wonder if he has Parkinson's or some sort of tremor. @@thadwall
He is the only man for the job in my opinion, The paid pharma hyenas wouldn't even let him answer knowing he has a speech impediment. They made a disgrace of themselves.
Would have been nice if anyone would have let him respond. This was a good ole fashion railroading.
It's like a court of law. The answer is either a yes or no.
@ it never is. It’s pretty obvious from today’s hearings who has medical and pharmaceutical interests. Ole Bernie and Pocahontas will suffer greatly when America gets healthy again.
Then they need to ask yes or no question. None of those were that.
Kennedy did not have a chance to answer many questions!!
He went off on tangents. He had no intention of answering any questions, even simple yes/no ones.
Hope RFK jr is confirmed
Amen ❤❤❤ please God 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 👏
What?
I was struck by the haughtiness and arrogance of the adversarial questioners. They don't seem to realize that when they speak with RFK Jr. like that, they are talking to the American people like that and we don't like it. The more self-righteous they were, the more I wondered about the corruption behind the arrogance. So transparent yet they don't see it. Different & better salaries, health insurance policies & perks than ours have gone to their heads. We need term limits. Sorry if my name icon comes up 2 Some sort of computer glitch.
He did great considering all of the cackling hins, screeching at him..
Lets face it. If Trump appointed a known serial killer you republicans would sanction it.
Any way NBC is going to interpret this hearing will be wrong. Not just wrong, but purposefully wrong.
Let's face it, it's all about big money 💰 from big farma
Yea and rfk has no financial benefits from what he does and says.......
@@stevenodonnell312 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely not an entire organization in which he's the CEO or any stock in ivermectin.
RFK, Jr had great answers (when he wasn’t being cut off and interrupted). It felt like what children do to get in the last word. I watched the whole thing. I’m wondering how much the newscasters watched
Questioning things requires you to be able too think. I'm not surprised thinking scares some people.
I don't think he did well.
He doesn't deserve the job! He has 0 medical education to begin with. He has never been in a position to need Medicare or medicaid he was raised wealthy! 😮
Neither did they.
He wouldn't answer the questions
@@debbiegoodine5037 But you don't have a problem with B.Gates jabbing you in the arm!
when you are not allowed the opportunity to answer....
I like the healthy food thing, but the fact is, he's got weird antivax positions based on debunked papers.
so, NO.
blue bot
It's just not true, the entire antifax hoax is nuts. Covid was questionable. Vaccines need to be safe. Keep labeling him as this crazy antivaxer though, ignorance is bliss.
He has never said he was antivax. He said more research should be done to provide parents/people open transparency on the side effects of each vaccine. BTW, the majority of studies conducted were funded by the pharmaceutical companies. I'm sure those are completely honest studies since they are researching themselves.
have you actually looked into the 1986 act?.... or looked at package inserts?... or what adjuvents are used and what the FDA safe amount of those substances are?..(conflict)....let me just say THE HEP B VAXX IS GIVEN TO YOUR CHILD IN THE 1ST 24 HRS OF LIFE.... THE TRIAL IS 5 DAYS...AND NONE OF THE TRIAL PARTICIPANTS WERE 24 HR OLD INFANTS.... THATS A FACT..... THERE WAS 147 TRIAL PARTICIPANT....
IF THE TRUTH THAT KENNEDY KNOWS COMES OUT>>>>>>WE WILL ALL BE ANTIVAXX
Are you supportive of these onesies 😂😂
“Safe and effective” bahahahaha 🤣🤣 oh bless their hearts
He has a secret formula on how to reduce Caroline’s wrinkles. It’s called an Iron
🤣🤣🤣
but voting in Dr. Rachel Levine, was voted in?
A she/he was a Doctor
Half the time he wasn’t given time to speak
RFK Jr. began shaking every time that he was cornered in a LIE! Hope that he isn't a poker player!
blue bot
KKK democrats
He couldn't even confirm what he wrote in his own book.
What you need to ask yourself? is why are the democrats fighting him. When 2 years ago, they all agreed
Does it matter? The system is rigged. He’s going to get confirmed.
WE hope Not
I hope so, I want healthy food.
@@Ephesianss429 but not vaccines or pasteurized milk or not getting infected and die from bird flu or not letting companies break health regulations and silence researchers or ...
Kennedy is the classic DEI hire -accepting fringe unscientific thinking is the ultimate in diversity and inclusion, and equity.
U might be a bit paranoid of the government because of your late father and uncle. However, you pretty much were involved in every part of U.S. culture because your family was associated with the government, like utilizing public parks & recreations, attending museums, and other national attractions!!!
It's fascinating to compare nominees of a great cabinet, specifically George W Bush's 2001 nominees, versus the clownfest of the current nominees. The only way these nominees make sense is if Trump wants rubberstanps from his cabinet.
I think we the people, then should and must rethink ,who we will be keeping seated in the senated and who should be let go of. VOTED OUT
Omg. You are all so so partisan - you haven't learned anything.
He look nervous he cant even talk good talking being the head of something i hope not
Talk good? Really? You're criticizing him?
nobody brought up his heroin use
He did it himself when he talked about addiction. This is what happens when you let NBC interpret these hearings and don't watch for yourself. Either that or you have poor listening skills. Let go of your bias.
He has always been transparent about his past addiction that he has healed from. Just makes him more empathetic and invested in making America Healthy. I work in “Sickcare” and looking forward to JFK Jr’s dedication to turning “Sickcare into Healthcare”. He is NOT Anti-Vaxer, he just wants true and pure vaccines for real diseases and NOT FOR THE MANMADE DISEASES for Big Pharma’s profit margins. Follow the money….how many of these senators own stock in these drug companies????? Do your research and stop the character assassination of those whom truly want to make America Great!
Did the prev health sec have this much questioning?
He couldn't answer the questions
They never let the people answer the questions anyway. RFK is an excellent human being that seek for real studies.
They never shut up long enough to let him. They act like they’re showing off for Big Pharma ( afraid not to). The tough act they do is so blatantly obvious and planned it would be comical if not so repulsive. They need a new way to do these confirmations- less people and independent s only and of extraordinary intelligence- not like these bozos
They wouldn't give him a chance to , they were attacking him like a bunch of wolves
He is the only man fit for the job.
@@LeighAnnGue what a ridiculous thing to say. The 99… he did were right on and he made the bull dogs that went after him look stupid. It backfired on them- read the comments , everywhere in how repulsed people are at these idiots running the show.
I may have missed it, but I heard no mention of Caroline Kennedy's warning about her cousin's fitness to lead the HHS. RFK Jr has a very shady past ... but that type of background seems to be welcomed by his orange tinted leader. Seems to me that he seeks fame as a moth is drawn to a lightbulb at night.
No, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy’s open letter to the Senate was not mentioned … YET.😊
After Caroline mentioned him putting baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed his falcon..I can't get past it...when I look at him that image will always be there.
RFK could hardly answer any questions... Lunatic Left yelling like a bunch of buffoons!
You mutha Fs would defend adolph hitler if trump appointed him.
He has had an epiphany over the past month on abortion and vaccines
Rfkjr has one eye higher than the other like that famous Picasso painting…usually symmetry protrudes attraction yet irregularities are interesting too
NBC never had a problem with Rachel Levine or Xavier Becerra
Reading MAHA moms posts, but isnt reading Kennedy's research.
As a non American I never comment on your politics. However it’s interesting to note that re Covid vaccines USA has a very different approach than most European countries, who do not vaccinate babies. I believe there is an age limit. Worth some quick research .
As an American, no one cares what you think.
@ I sort of agree. I just thought a few minutes research would/ might give a broader view. But you are correct as a non American I shouldn’t care about your children. However I care about all children worldwide. Vaccine children or not I have not made up my mind because I haven’t read the reasons that scientists and doctors came to differing conclusions.
@@DonDyarprecisiona..h…
What on earth are "maha mom's" ??
"Make America Healthy Again" Moms
I like rfk. I too believe in PRO CHOICE
