Democrat Robert Garcia criticizes RFK Jr. nomination for health secretary as dangerous

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia criticized the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as health secretary under President-elect Trump, calling it "f------ insane." He expressed concerns about Kennedy's history as a vaccine skeptic and its potential impact on public health. Kennedy, if confirmed, plans to address issues like government corruption and promote transparency in health agencies. He has been a prominent critic of vaccines, raising alarms among some public health experts about the implications for vaccination programs. Despite the backlash, Kennedy has supporters, including Colorado's Democratic governor, who encouraged changes at health agencies. Some lawmakers noted his focus on healthy foods and transparency in public health.
