The health secretary, appearing before two separate congressional committees, was grilled about slashes to disease research, maternal health and the U.S. measles outbreak.
Exactly. That’s like SecDef being like “idk, I’m really not in a position to gov military advice”. I say that fully aware of the irony, but it’s hard to pick a non-busted example since Trump’s cabinet is just completely full of “meritocracy”.
Don’t forget he first went to Harris and she turned him away, then he went to Trump. Trump “allegedly” gave him the position in exchange for dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump. Which happened directly after.
People claimed at the time that would be illegal as it would fall under quid pro quo.
Right… so why did you take the position of Secretary of Health, again?

Mediocrity.
Ha, if only. I wish it could be that rosy :'(
Maybe midiocracy?
Kakistocracy
It’s called that cause our government is lead by a bunch of KACKS
don’t do my MIDI interfaces and keyboards like that :(
He took it because he’s a narcissist who’s convinced he’s right about everything because of his last name and his money. Sound familiar?
Trump’s entire cabinet was picked for two reasons: Loyalty To Trump and Pissing Off Anyone Who Doesn’t Kiss Trump’s Ass. RFK fills that second one.

“Illegal” is a word that only applies to poor people.
It also is not held in politics. We have lost all integrity.
I’m surprised Harris didn’t respond, she seemed to like endorsements from shit headed right wingers
We live in the dumbest timeline.
For those of us like me that can step back. This timeline is absurdly funny.
It’s literally just a game to them.
It appears he has recently received coaching from moderately competent legal counsel.
This response is for lawyers, not the public.
I’m not sure why you’d think that. They don’t give a fuck about the law.
I don’t disagree but this is a lot better than him giving false ‘information’
When was the last time secretary of health was a qualified doctor?
Edit:
2017
Before that, 1989
Both republican
There are full-on doctors who are conservative wack jobs though.
The job of Secretary of Health is best suited for an administrator, not a doctor.
