'Resign!' Elizabeth Warren's questioning of RFK Jr. explodes into shouting match

By David Edwards
Published September 4, 2025 12:58 PM ET

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy shouted at each other during a contentious hearing on Thursday.

While appearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Warren challenged the secretary about earlier claims that he would not restrict access to vaccines.

"So last November, while you are under consideration to become Secretary of Health and Human Services, Mr. Kennedy, you said, quote, if vaccines are working for somebody, I'm not going to take them away," Warren noted. "No exceptions, no ifs, or buts. You would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them."

And/or he's not the sharpest tool in the kit. There is definitely something wrong with that boy. Actually he as delusional as a cult member, and I hear that he has significant legal ties to Scientology. Would explain his stance on medicine.

TSF likes how he's running HHS. Sen. Warren used her time as best she could, but I'm sure she didn't believe that RFK jr. would feel any shame about telling whatever lies came into his head.
