The American legislature approved the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Minister of wellness on Thursday. The candidate for strong criticism of large Pharma and the sanitary government during the "pandemic" period Covid-19 was supported by all Republicans but by erstwhile organization leader Mitch McConnell's Senate.
52 Senators voted in favour of approving the nephew killed in the assassination of the president of the United States, while 48 were against – McConnell joined 47 Democrats, who until late was a leading Republican in the Senate.
A number of right-wing politicians, including Bill Cassidy's head of the wellness Committee, have voiced doubts about Kennedy's erstwhile election. The second was stifled by the long-standing activity of the fresh minister, who drew attention to drastic abuses in the politics of the state and pharmaceutical companies in the field of vaccines, from polio by MMR to Covid-19.
During his proceeding in the Senate, Kennedy tried to put those fears out. He said he's not against vaccines. He besides pointed out that all his children were vaccinated, although he had previously declared that he would give anything to reverse it. He yet convinced everyone but McConnell who had polio as a child.
"People, parents and families have the right to search a healthier nation and request the best possible technological guidance on illness prevention and treatment. However, the communicative of spreading dangerous conspiracy theories and erosion of trust in public wellness institutions does not authorize Mr Kennedy to lead these crucial efforts," McConnell wrote in a statement.
For the erstwhile Republican leader, it was already the 3rd vote against president Donald Trump's denominations into the cabinet; he had previously besides voted against erstwhile Fox News presenter Pete Hegseth, who became head of the Pentagon and Tulsa Gabbard, who became a coordinator of intelligence services.
The destiny of 1 more Trump candidate, Kash Patel, to be head of the FBI, remains unresolved. On Thursday he received the approval of the Justice Committee. Although he is not yet in office, he was already accused by Democrats of directing cleanups in the FBI against agents assigned to Trump's investigation and the "storm on Capitol" in January 2021. Patel promised before the committee that he was not going to lead politically motivated dismissals, although he had previously repeatedly promised to "take over" Trump's opponents.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the nephew of erstwhile U.S. president and boy of Robert F. Kennedy, erstwhile lawyer General and presidential candidate who besides fell victim to the assassination. He worked for years as an environmental lawyer and was affiliated with the Democratic Party. After a failed run in organization primary against Joe Biden, he announced a start in last year's presidential election as an independent candidate to yet support Trump.
In his speeches before the legislature commissions, Kennedy declared that his main mission as Minister of wellness would be to face an outbreak of chronic diseases affecting millions of Americans, as well as the wellness of children.
– I frequently violated the position quo and asked uncomfortable questions; I am not going to apologize for that – stated the politician. At the same time, he sought to alleviate the concerns of Republicans that his activities against highly processed food would undermine the interests of the agricultural sector.
