I could not be happier to report that our man RFK Jr. has officially been confirmed as the secretary of Health and Human Services. LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!!
On Thursday, the GOP-led Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to become President Donald Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services, ending a saga in which members grappled with the nominee’s skeptical views on vaccines.
The final vote was 52-48. All but one Republican voted for the Cabinet pick. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), a childhood Polio survivor who had previously warned against undermining public confidence in “proven cures,” was the only GOP lawmaker to break ranks and vote against Kennedy Jr. along with all of the Democrats and the pair of independents who caucus with them.
McConnell can’t even make it through a press conference without his brain locking up. I really don’t give a rat’s behind about his opinion on our country’s health crisis. Moving on.
RFK Jr. joining Trump’s ranks was crucial during the election, and I think it helped win Trump a lot of votes from a very specific demographic: disgruntled mothers who are sick of feeling like everything they feed their kids is poisoning them.
RFK Jr.’s position has been the one I’ve been most concerned about. The corruption in our food and pharmaceutical industry appears to run deep, so I had a feeling they would put up a fight when it came to confirming someone who plans to poke the bear.
I’m incredibly relieved that RFK Jr. made it through, and I hope we are about to move on to better days when it comes to the health of our country. We want less crap in our food and more transparency when it comes to vaccines—is that so much to ask? I don’t think it is.
It’s #MAHA time, ya’ll.
