Vance says senators grilling Kennedy ‘full of s‑‑‑’

Vice President J.D. Vance defended HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amid bipartisan Senate criticism over his vaccine policies and agency leadership, following calls for his resignation.

  • On Thursday, Vice President J.D. Vance rushed to defend Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after intense Senate Finance Committee questioning and posted on X attacking senators' support for hormonal treatments in children.
  • Firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez prompted resignations from senior scientists and doctors, while an open letter accused Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of politicizing agency staffing and vaccine data.
  • Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., pressed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on vaccine safety claims, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., challenged COVID vaccine reclassifications; Kennedy denied taking vaccines away or promising unindicated products.
  • Vance's social posts amplified the disputes online, drawing attention as more than 1,000 current and former CDC and HHS employees called for Kennedy's resignation, while the Senate Finance Committee has not scheduled further oversight hearings.
  • Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine added that Kennedy's conspiracy theories are unbelievable, saying, `this guy is a person whose brain's just rattled with conspiracy theories that an average fourth grader would find incredible,` as Congress considers further oversight.
