Striking.

SEN. DURBIN: Do you know the #1 cause of preventable death in America today?

SEC. KENNEDY: Number one cause…not sure what you're talking about

SEN. DURBIN: I'm talking about tobacco. You fired the head of CDC’s Office on Smoking & Health and eliminated their efforts from your budget

RFK Jr knows nothing, cares about no working class Americans, it’s preposterous he’s in charge of health, it’s disgusting republicans put him there, all the devastation he causes will be on them

mezzoid.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm sure he doesn't know anybody personally who isn't worth at least $1 million

jumahl.bsky.social•12 days ago

Probably makes a point of it

RFK doesn't know shit

#1 Cause of Preventable Death in America?
Was Tobacco.

Will soon be: RFK JR.

RFKJ is sooo unqualified

hawkwind65.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s not concerned about people’s health…WTF is Durbin doing…trying to pander to the fuck-wit?😡

jt1919.bsky.social•13 days ago

What’s amazing and terrifying is that he did not seem to know what preventable death is/means. Public health 101. This from someone who touts that he is going to ‘solve’ chronic disease.

a1128.bsky.social•12 days ago

This is SUCH A FARCE

My god! Thank you! Finally something on tobacco related deaths. Get Septic Face the hell out of that office! No decent business would have him in any capacity. I wouldn’t trust him to scrub toilets in a saloon. He’d be taking baths in them.

Dems are too kind. They should be raging against this asshole and instead say things like " I know you're concerned about the health of America." Stop it! Stop this " my friend across the aisle bullshit" This isn't go along to get along politics anymore.

Well when you're from one of the richest families in the US people think you're smart

sean0919.bsky.social•12 days ago

Shouldn’t the head of HEALTH and Human Services know the top causes of death?

axelfrisian.bsky.social•12 days ago

It is so obvious he is completely unqualified and unserious about his job. Shake my head.

Robert F. Kennedy jr. flicks a butt to the street.

RFK: (trying to gain some quick thinking time) Do I know what the #1 cause of death is in the US? (to self: Shit! I should have studied last night! ). Is it people jamming an ice pick into their brains after listening to me in my off-putting voice give

notamagatte.bsky.social•12 days ago

medical advice, as absolutely NOT A Dr., and then tell people they shouldn’t be taking medical advice from me?

thedeplorables.bsky.social•12 days ago

You know why I now can prove Fox News hosts and a brain worm are so ignorant? Dem senators have had to become professors to teach them about their jobs.

sayitwithaloha.bsky.social•12 days ago

Wait, Kennedy-dead-bear-in-park, whale-head-on-roof-brain-worm dude?

clarkindeir.bsky.social•12 days ago

The same.
