WASHINGTON – Former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who could play a significant role in a potential Trump administration, stated on Wednesday that there are “entire departments” within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that should be dismantled. He specifically pointed to the FDA’s nutrition division, which he claims is not fulfilling its duties and is failing to protect children. Kennedy made these comments during an interview on MSNBC.

Kennedy, who initially ran as a Democrat before transitioning to an independent bid for president, endorsed President-elect Trump in August. With Trump’s victory, Kennedy’s prospects for a position in the new administration are growing, particularly in health care.

In a separate interview with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, Kennedy revealed that Trump had promised him a role in the White House if he won. “We don’t know exactly what I’ll be doing. I spoke with the president yesterday. He asked me what I wanted, and I said we are working on a proposal,” Kennedy explained, responding to questions about the possibility of him being appointed as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
While this position requires Senate confirmation, the outcome is uncertain given that Republicans are expected to have at least 52 seats in the Senate. Speculation remains that Kennedy could be assigned a position that does not require Senate approval.
Howard Lutnick, co-chair of Trump’s transition team, recently dismissed the idea of Kennedy serving as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
When asked whether he planned to eliminate any health-related agencies, Kennedy clarified that he would not seek to disband them without congressional approval. However, he emphasized that he could work to remove corruption within these agencies.
No no no. We must continue to force gullible parents to vaccinate their little 3 year toddlers with the Covid vaccines. Our beloved FDA swore to us that they are safe and effective with no side effects whatsoever! Our FDA cares and loves us so much. Please please, don’t abolish any of our beloved government agencies. If they do, we will all die. Bah bah
De-politicize the FDA and CDC. They’ve been political hack tools for too long. Nancy, the Covid architect, understood their usefulness as idiots. Remove the idiots and put back the science.
I am absolutely thrilled with this news
I have followed RFK for years and I read all his articles on his website children’s health defense.
He has a way of pointing out the truth in what hides behind the media, the medical “facts” , he knows every one of the million ways our government health agencies pander to the very agencies they were supposed to regulate. They have long been corrupted. They no longer care about the people they work for big corporations and big pharma I truly hope RFK dismantles those broken three letter agencies and builds back new ones that are truly out for the best of Americans.
We need RFK Jr. to protect us from foreign substances being introduced into our precious bodily fluids.
Can’t wait to see another Kennedy in the WH
He would fit right in
