RFK Jr. Says Senate Republicans Were Threatening Not to Confirm His Nominees for Carrying out the MAHA Agenda

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY JR.: “Most of them do not want change. Most of them do not want change. And so what we were doing was very disruptive. And we've got a lot of people simplify and say it was one person or one industry is not what was happening. It was coming from everywhere. But one of the places it was coming from was the Senate. And for the Republicans on the Senate, every time I tried to do something robust, I would get calls saying, if you do that, we're not going to confirm your appointees. And so I said to the group at HHS, I said, the Democrats, no matter how great the appointee is, not one vote will go to them. We know that, because that's what's happened in the past. Not one of my appointees ever got a single Democratic vote. The Senate no longer has any leverage over me. And that's a big deal. Then we have Steve Miller in, who's a friend of our movement. And I don't think anything is going to get in our way now.”
