When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. walked into his second Senate confirmation hearing, he brought a new weapon with him: exposing the hypocrisy.
In the first go-around, several Democrat senators, including Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), raked him across the coals for having a conflict of interest. Both were concerned about the profits he has already made and could potentially make as secretary of HHS from exposing the medical-industrial complex. That wouldn’t be ethical, they chided.
Of course, both of these senators received large campaign donations from Big Pharma. But Kennedy never mentioned this convenient information. Maybe because he was constantly being interrupted and was too busy trying to debunk the lies told about him.
But that changed in round two.
