The former independent presidential candidate who fought is definitely the most controversial cabinet pick among many highly critical candidates.
“I think they will really be troublesome,” said Florida Republican Republican Republican, Anna Polina Luna, told the Democratic Senator on a daily basis before the hearing. (Related: RFK Jr. Senate hearing may further eroded the trust of corporate media).
In light of the potential fireworks, the daily callers showed their eyes and chose five important factors.
1. Left grill
RFK’s first hearing on Wednesday is in front of the Senate Finance Committee, including the left SESH type in Barney Sanders in Vermont and Elizabethwarren in Massachusetts.
It was Sanders before Expected support For the Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy (MAHA) movement, RFK Jr. has recently warned that the United States will be able to “return” in an era when national mortality is high.

Sanders hosted A Round table conference On January 22, regarding vaccines and public health, he invited a doctor’s panel, including Dr. Paul Office, and expressed his vaccine, fear and disgust in the confirmation of Kennedy.
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gains information to scare parents and weaken the effectiveness of the vaccine when he established a child’s health defense. Because it is, the official said.
“He’s been doing this for 20 years, but he’s good at it … he’s certainly eroded his confidence in the vaccine. He may be a secretary of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Is even more difficult. “
Kennedy Jr.’s criticism of previous statements on vaccines is not unique to Sanders. Warren wrote Page 34 letter In December, RFK calls his views on vaccine and public health “dangerous.”
She warns that Kennedy Jr.’s nomination will mark Polyio’s return to the United States.

Sanders and Warren have expressed concerns that many people share, but their objections may not be completely independent. Sanders and Warren were the top two recipients of the 2020 Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry, and received $ 1.4 million and $ 800,000, respectively. According to To open a secret.
I believe that Bernie Sanders is one of the first people who wake up me in the influence of the corruption in our political systems.
So I chase the money, but I can ask if nearly $ 1.5 million from Big Pharma, in 2020, had influenced today’s judgment. https://t.co/mqiux4qe7k pic.twitter.com/cwd2my5ldu

2. Which bobby do you get?
Warren’s letter emphasized past comments that Kennedy said, “There is no safe and effective vaccine.”
Kennedy tried to clarify the statement. He later It is attracting attention A few seconds before he commented on Lex Fridman’s podcast, he said, “I think some of the living viral vaccines probably avoid more problems than they are causing.” 。

Despite the correction, he was definitely a stubborn critic for past vaccines and vaccines.
But since Trump hit him to lead HHS, he was unusually quiet. He has been publicized since November appears to be an opportunity to calm his suspicions.
In December, when he made a round in the Senate, he jumped into the press. Guarantee The reporter was “all” of polio vaccine. His claim is OP-EDS He argued that he opposed the polio vaccine.
Trump himself guarantees the general public that it will not remove polio vaccines.
The version of Kennedy’s vaccine stance displayed on Wednesday is very likely to be a factor in his confirmation or break.
3. Ethics disclosure
Kennedy Jr.’s Senate ethics revealed some shocking developments, such as the fact that he had inventory in a company involved in the CRISPR gene editing therapy, a technology that had previously caused cancer. did.
Probably more interesting for vaccines such as Sanders and Warren is to maintain the ability to reconcile the accidental settlement of a lawyer, which was introduced to Wiss Baum, a law firm.

4. GOP swing voting
Kennedy’s Wednesday’s hearing is likely to be explosive, but hearing in front of the Thursday’s aid committee may be even more a result.
The Help Committee, chairman of Sanders, is also characterized by Susan Collins and Lisa Murukowski, Alaska, in the middle of the main state.
The two have already been destroyed by Trump and voted for “No” to the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegousz. The opponents forced 47 Senate Democratic Party to vote against Hesus, along with Mitch McConnel, the majority of the former Joga in the House of Representatives.
