Gabbard and Kennedy Draw Surprising Ire from Democratic Lawmakers
Former Democrats Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. get more hate on Capitol Hill than Republicans like Pete Hegseth. Why?
As President Donald Trump strives to implement his agenda, his nominees face a gauntlet of challenges and questions. No Trump nominees have drawn more ire from Democratic Party officials on Capitol Hill than Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
Though it’s suddenly and abundantly obvious to everyone that the United States badly needs “Make America Healthy Again”, Democrats on Capitol Hill are equally certain Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not the person to do it, despite being the only person interested in it.
While the right has warmed to him, the left has gone from ice-cold indifference to white-hot anger.
“RFK Jr. Stuns Critics With Masterclass Senate Confirmation Performance,” crowed The Vigilant Fox this week. Elizabeth Warren tried to put RFK Jr. on the spot. What happened next was priceless.”
“Robert Kennedy Jr. just endured 3.5 hours of relentless grilling by Senate Democrats — but to their dismay, he responded with poise, deep knowledge, and an undeniable passion for tackling America’s chronic disease crisis,” wrote the new media influencer.
