Bernie Sanders: "You're coming before this committee and you say you're pro-vaccine, and yet your organization is making money selling a child's product for to parents for $26 which casts fundamental doubt on the usefulness of vaccines." pic.twitter.com/6pZMiOlQ5I

TINA SMITH: In 2023 and 2024, you blamed school shootings on anti-depressants. Do you believe that?

RFK Jr: I don't think anybody can answer that question pic.twitter.com/8y706puSeY

RFK Jr: I am happy that you had a good experience on SSRIs. Other have not.

SMITH: But that would be an issue between them and their physicians and not for the future head of HHS to be putting out misinformation pic.twitter.com/2W6O5TE9Cx

WARREN: More than 70 people died in Samoa because they didn't get vaccines. Do you accept even a scintilla of responsibility?

RFK Jr: No. Absolutely not. pic.twitter.com/TCjF7i84gL

Hassan: "You have clearly stated in the past that bodily autonomy is one of your core values … when was it that you decided to sell out the values you've had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?" pic.twitter.com/OCnwSgugfl

RFK JR: I will commit to not firing anybody who is doing their job

WARNER: Based upon your opinion?

RFK Jr: Based upon my opinion

WARNER: So I guess that means a lot of folks who have any type of views on vaccines will be out of work pic.twitter.com/KwIp8vAIF1

RFK Jr: I probably did say that

BENNET: Did you say that exposure to pesticides causes children to become transgender

I have concluded that Trump is so angry about the attempts to hold him accountable for his crimes that he just wants to hurt Americans. I also think that he’s showing some serious signs of dementia now. This stuff about the “valve” and sending Elon to space is weird even for him. It’s possible that he’s just owning the libs but I have a sense that it may be more than that. Choosing a conspiracy theorist like Bobby Jr. covers all those bases. He is an insult to all Americans. If the Republicans let him go through despite knowing what a monstrous freak he is, we’re truly in Mad King territory.
