During a heated Senate hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the late senator and former presidential candidate, clashed with top Democrats over his vocal support for President Trump and his questioning of vaccine safety. Kennedy invoked his father's legacy to defend Trump's controversial CDC shakeup, leading to calls for his resignation from the Democratic party.
Kennedy, an outspoken critic of mandatory vaccination laws, faced intense scrutiny for his comments on vaccines during the hearing. Critics pointed out multiple inaccuracies in his statements, calling into question his credibility on the issue.
Despite the backlash, Trump publicly expressed support for Kennedy, praising his willingness to speak out against the mainstream narrative on vaccines. This endorsement only added fuel to the fire, with many questioning the political motivations behind Kennedy's controversial statements.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: RFK Jr.'s Senate hearing has ignited a fierce debate on vaccine safety and political allegiances, leaving both supporters and critics in the crossfire of a contentious battle over public health policy.
