Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was grilled during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Thursday about his bizarre workout video with singer Kid Rock posted to HHS’s official YouTube page in February.
During the hearing, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) questioned Kennedy about whether President Donald Trump approved his decision to end the CDC’s pro-vaccine messaging campaign before laying into him about the video.
Kennedy began to respond before Sanchez cut him off.
“That’s not answering my question,” she said. “I think you don’t want to answer the question, because I think you know you are making terrible decisions that impact very real lives, especially the lives of children.”
“One thing I find incredible is that you suspended this pro-vaccine messaging campaign, but somehow you’re spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk, shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock,” she continued. “And somehow you think that’s a better public health message than informing the public about the importance of vaccines?”
