WASHINGTON — A Minnesota member of Congress, Angie Craig, called on President Trump’s choice to head federal health policy to resign immediately. Craig called Robert F. Kennedy Jr. an incompetent who was a menace to the nation’s well-being. This was after Kennedy stumbled badly in a Congressional hearing. Kennedy dodged questions and couldn’t even say how Americans died in the greatest health crisis of the century — the 2020-2023 Co-Vid pandemic. Craig told Kennedy to his face: “For the sake of our country, resign.” Kennedy lied at the hearing about limiting the availability of certain vaccines although he had just done so. He deferred on questions about his firing veteran scientists at the agency for challenging his unproven, unscientific and quack notions against vaccines, many in use for decades.
Craig. A Democrat. Representing southwest Twin Cities suburbs in MN-2 since 2019. A. candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2026.
Kennedy. A conspiracy theorist and anti-vaccine activist. Named by Trump as U.S. secretary of health and human services in February.
