President of Protect Our Care issues one-word statement to US health and human services secretary: ‘Resign’

A prominent healthcare advocacy group is calling for the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, to step down from his post after he downplayed Covid risks by saying: “I’m not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.”

Kennedy, who was appointed secretary of the federal health and human services (HHS) department despite his avowed anti-vaccine activism, made that remark on the 12 February episode of Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend.

The president of Protect Our Care, Brad Woodhouse, issued a one-word statement on Kennedy’s comments: “Resign.”

Joe Rogan and Theo Von will go down in history as enablers of American fascism.

Nobody will even remember them in 20 years.

That'd be fantastic! I hope you're right. One of the reasons I'm only lukewarm towards Jon Stewart these days is that he still insists Rogan is a centrist. Stop defending him, Jon.
