Anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been nominated to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services under the second Trump administration but even some of his advisers are worried that he’ll take things too far if he manages to get confirmed.

    Then fuckin stop him, cowards. All we get are reports about how people are worried, or they disagree behind closed doors, or they secretly don’t like the policies. Yet every single one will stand there and go along with it because they don’t want to jeopardize their own political standing in hopes they get a cushy job later.

    I’m calling it now that he doesn’t get confirmed. He’s going to sound insane at his confirmation hearings because he’s insane, and he’s by no means a dyed-in-the-wool MAGA, so they will view it as not hurting one of their own.
