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.”

Before elections I watched a video where a black fella was saying that he votes Trump because Kennedy is basically American royalty. Well...

I like how if you actually read into anything about the Kennedys you quickly realize why the US originally decided to do away with royalty. Like the whole family is fucked up.
