Sanders calls on Kennedy to Resign

Bernie Sanders: Kennedy Must Resign

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/opinion/bernie-sanders-robert-f-kennedy-jr-resign-hhs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.iE8.1rll.eQbMWPWikfc1&smid=url-share

I was thinking similarly yesterday while driving. I can put up with lots of crazy and not get excited, but Kennedy was never meant to be Sec of HHS, his nomination was payback by Trump for his support in the election. Senate is supposed to weed out the crazy. I'd think many R senators would be ok if Kennedy left.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign.

Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office President Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite.

This week, Mr. Kennedy pushed out the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after less than one month on the job because she refused to act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous policies. Four leading officials at C.D.C. resigned the same week. One of those officials said Mr. Kennedy’s team asked him to “change studies that have been settled in the past” apparently to fit Mr. Kennedy’s anti-vaccine views. This is not Making America Healthy Again.



Edit....More from the same paper from MoDo my favorite sarcasm slinger.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was enough support in Congress to do that. Brainworm Bobby is batshit crazy.
