The long knives are out in both parties for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but President Trump has signaled his continued support for RFK Jr. The Hill reports:
President Trump on Sunday defended Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has come under increasing criticism from Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill over his handling of vaccines and other issues.
Trump has given somewhat conflicting messages over the last several days about Kennedy, defending his Cabinet member while also defending vaccines, including those for polio and COVID.
In his remarks on Sunday, Trump continued with this trend, describing Kennedy as an outside-the-box thinker, but also suggesting he didn’t agree with everything Kennedy said by describing him as a “different kind of guy” who has a “lot of ideas” that “normal people” might not have.
“He’s a different kind of a guy. He’s got a lot of good ideas, but he’s got a lot of ideas,” Trump told reporters outside the White House as he left to make a trip to New York to see the U.S. Open final.
“You know, normally, they don’t have any ideas and that’s why we have problems with autism and so many other things, because we’re coming up with the answers for autism, you watch,” Trump continued. “We’re coming up with the answers for other things that normal people, regular people, easy-to-get-along-with people wouldn’t be able to do.”
