Jake Tapper jokes about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine stance after health chief appointment

Jake Tapper reacted to Donald Trump's appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services by joking, “I hope you like measles.” Kennedy is known for his strong anti-vaccine stance. Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger expressed uncertainty about Republican support for Kennedy, noting that some Senate Republicans may resist his nomination due to their reelection concerns. Kinzinger also questioned the confirmation prospects for Trump's pick for Attorney General. Tapper questioned Senator-elect Jim Banks about Kennedy's vaccine claims, which the medical community has deemed false. Banks defended Kennedy's role in health discussions, while CNN commentator Kate Bedingfield stated that Democrats have limited options to counter Trump's appointments in the short term.
