For those of you who thought Reince Priebus' slobbering, passionate Trump Admin worship was a thing of the past...
[link:'Answer the question!' Chris Christie shouts at Reince Priebus over RFK Jr. qualifications|'Answer the question!' Chris Christie shouts at Reince Priebus over RFK Jr. qualifications]Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and former Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus yelled at each other over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s qualifications to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.
"You looked at that appearance before Congress, and it just confirms what all of us around this table have known for decades," Christie said during a Sunday morning roundtable on ABC. "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a foolish man full of foolish and vapid ideas."
"RFK Jr. doesn't belong in that job," he continued. "But after [Donald Trump] won, he wanted to show everybody, I can do whatever I want to do because this Senate will be compliant no matter what I do. And I'll put the greatest vaccine and public health denier of the last 20 years in charge of public health in America. It's a human middle finger to everybody who opposed him."
Priebus disputed Christie by calling Kennedy "a decent, humble, caring guy."
