Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) known as Well being Secretary Robert F. Kennedy a “lunatic,” declaring that he must be “fired.”
Discussing the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention director being fired, host Chris Hayes mentioned, “Your response to what’s occurring at CDC proper now?”
Welsh mentioned, “Properly, it’s horrifying I imply, there’s two issues. One, very inspiring and the opposite very alarming. The inspiring a part of that is the oldsters who resigned in solidarity with their director, who was standing up for science and for public well being. The miserable half is that RFK is a lunatic. I imply, he’s setting us again a century on public well being. He mainly doesn’t imagine that scientific foundation for vaccines is legitimate.”
Hayes mentioned, “Do you imagine he must be fired and or resign?”
Welsh mentioned, “He must be fired. He ought to resign and he by no means ought to have been appointed. And the actual fact is, by the best way, he double crossed Senator Cassidy. , a whole lot of us didn’t imagine it. We didn’t purchase it however Senator Cassidy is a really revered colleague of Senator Murray and mine and all of us and a physician. And he requested Kennedy on the vaccines, are you going to take care of the evaluation system? Are you going to not arrange a parallel system? Are you going to proceed to respect science? And Kennedy gave him the solutions that Cassidy was seeking to hear. Cassidy believed him. However what you’re seeing with Secretary Kennedy proper now’s he’s completely and fully double crossing Senator Cassidy.”
