HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a knockout punch to Democrat Senator Ben Ray Luján during a heated Senate hearing this week. When Luján tried to corner Kennedy about autism study protocols, RFK Jr. fired back with the truth that left the senator speechless. Kennedy told him straight up that he doesn’t understand how the real world works.
The New Mexico Democrat thought he could score cheap political points by attacking Kennedy’s commitment to vaccine transparency. Instead, Kennedy showed exactly why President Trump picked him to drain the swamp at our health agencies. Luján got schooled by a man who actually knows what he’s talking about.
Democrats are absolutely terrified that Kennedy is cleaning house at the CDC and other corrupt health bureaucracies. They spent years protecting the same failed officials who locked down our schools and forced masks on our children. Now they’re crying because Kennedy is firing the people who betrayed American families during COVID.
Kennedy didn’t back down when Republicans questioned his support for Operation Warp Speed either. He praised Trump for deserving a Nobel Prize for the program while also demanding honesty about vaccine safety. That’s called leadership, something Washington hasn’t seen in years.
The CDC director got fired last week because she was dishonest, just like Kennedy said. These health bureaucrats think they can lie to the American people without consequences. Kennedy is proving them wrong by showing incompetent officials the door.
Democrats like Luján want to protect the same CDC leaders who destroyed our economy with lockdowns. They’re the ones who kept our kids out of school while they collected government paychecks. Kennedy is right to clean house and get rid of these failures.
The hearing turned ugly because Democrats know Kennedy threatens their control over our health agencies. They’ve been using these departments as political weapons for too long. Now they’re panicking because someone with actual integrity is in charge.
Kennedy’s message to Senator Luján should be heard by every swamp creature in Washington. The days of lying to families about their health choices are over. Americans deserve honest leaders who put people before politics, and that’s exactly what RFK Jr. is delivering.
