Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

  1. We have Senator Cassidy to “thank” as well. As far as I am concerned, once people start dying because of RFK Jr’s insanity, which could have been avoided in the first place if Cassidy had simply done his job, then Cassidy, an MD, should lose his license for violating the Hippocratic oath.

  2. Qanon quackery is RFK Jr & any Maga that supports his grossness & sick desire to harm people with anti-science lies.

  3. So many Senate confirmations that were on their face a joke, and yet, here we are. Unfortunately our rot isn't just the most rotten apple tRump, but has spread across Republicans in Congress. 🚬😎

  4. THANK YOU! More people need to see this guy for who he is instead of what his last name invokes. Hear him say one word and it will be as clear why he needs to go.

  5. In a healthy country, he would never have been nominated. And if nominated, he would never have been confirmed. Not on our worst day.

  6. Tonight Florida surgeon General at a rally celebrating how they were dropping school vaccine mandates. The crowd cheering & whooping with glee at their right to endanger their kids to disease they could be safe from. DO NOT VACATION IN FLORIDA. It will be a hotbed of communicable disease.

  7. I’m glad Osoff is speaking up. All the Dems who have been more vocal than most, should create a group, calling themselves some clever name, then go out, have rallies, and push back against the regime.

  8. I thought they were worried about the birth rate the other day. It makes no sense to force women to have babies then kill them in their first year due to preventable, even previously eradicated diseases.

  9. And who's fault was it that approved RFK Jr? Dems couldn't even get the GOP who didn't approve of him to actually vote against him.

  10. Don’t forget he and his brain worm called & tried to get Kamala Harris to take him on first. She said no thank you. Then he made a deal with Mr. no scruples or relationship with the truth Donald J. Trump. He’s an opportunist, grifter and a fraud.

  11. My Senator. Both he and Warnock. Totally reminds me of favorite nephew, but that's not why I love him. I love him because he's wicked smart and most capable. We all should support his re-election as best we can. You know, contribute! His is a race that's "winnable." Most vital he does.

  12. That's because JFK is actually a stupid fucking idiot. He's genuinely dumb. He had the benefit of being a Kennedy and a good education or he'd be just another Jethro level asshole somewhere in a trailer park cooking meth.

  17. The Senate was threatened by tRump so is congress and courts. But they are the home of the brave. They should set an example of bravery for the whole nation that's what they were hired for.

    A very good description of the currently-serving red-faced crackpot... now that he's Sec., he's putting every one of those quack ideas in place as policy, and remember-- the GOP could have said no.

  19. Thats what pisses me off. Congress had the power to deny Trump from being sworn in, but they chose to let it all happen. Congress isn't stopping the illegal detention centers. Our gov is tainted

  20. Big picture: What sort of idot would nominate & what kind of congress would confirm a "Known vaccine skeptic" in the 1st place? Is this really what America wants for it's children, it's future? Seems they've completely lost the plot at this point.

  21. Ossoff is saying what many of us are. RFK Jr. should never have been confirmed. It was shocking watching when he was. Congress cannot just follow the whims of a Trump Presidency. They are his checks and balances. Congress show some intellectual thinking and backbone.

  22. It wasn't, isn't a 'normal' senate. It was, is a Trump supporting senate. U.S. MAGA senators weren't NOT going to confirm him. They're beholden to their MAGA constituents. And to Trump.

    There is nothing normal about the Trump era. Nothing

  24. RFK Jr. has shown us exactly who he is He’s worthless as bird poop on a window sill

    He has no morals, integrity or skills And the mentality of a drug addict popping pills

    He displays his ignorance with arrogant zeal While awarding Dump another license to kill

  27. It all happened because Trump wanted to be able to tell a group of his donors that “I got a Kennedy.” he hates the Kennedy family for the same reasons he hates everyone who has been widely respected. RFK offered him a trophy and he took it.

  28. This administration is sick. Even if RFK is removed, another sicko will come in. The states need to keep the population alive until the Republican administration is removed and arrested. They need to pay for the harm they are inflicting.

  29. Not gonna happen. He needs to be fired (only slightly less unlikely) or impeached. Impeachment could happen with all the unpopular crap he’s doing

  30. Does anyone really think that greedy, power hungry, fascist-loving arseholes will just voluntarily resign? These statements from politicians are their usual safe way of complaining about anything. This regime needs to be forced out. That's the only way.

  32. Every single Republican who voted to confirm him are the ones to blame when Americans start dying because they didn’t have access to the vaccines they needed.

    0
  33. Most of us call for his resignation. If folks don't want a vaccine, don't get one. Just stay away from the rest of us. Similar to abortions. Don't like 'em, don't have one. It's a personal choice. Not just YOUR personal choice.

    This has been the Republicans approach to governing since Reagan. Appoint the unqualified or someone actively looking to sabotage the working of our government agencies, destroy their ability to perform their functions, then rail against the agencies ineffectiveness.

  35. RFKJr will never resign - this is the most visible gig he’s ever had

    He will refuse to leave if fired

  36. Homicidal moron RFK Jr has lit the fuse for deadly outbreaks that will claim countless lives. America’s shield broken and the CDC gutted. This is catastrophic!

    But, CA, OR & WA just rebuilt it. West Coast Health Alliance is fighting for health science. #GlobalHealth #ScienceHeroes

  38. I keep circling back around to "what are they so afraid of from Trump aside from political careers ending?" because logically-there's gotta be something there to blackmail them with, why else do they fall in line without dissent like they so brazenly do (until today, anyway)?

  40. A steroid abuser who speaks more highly of heroin use than vaccines perfectly depicts the insanity of the regime that is taking over our country and doing such damage that even super conservative former judge Michael Luttig states we cannot recovery from the it

  42. It's already hell to live in Flori-duh, but this insanity is a deal breaker for many or should I say any who want to stay healthy or live! The illness won't be confined to FL either. FL ranks 50th in teacher pay & suffers from a teacher shortage. Many more teachers will be leaving.

  43. Yeah, he needs to resign, but he isn't going to. He will never step down willingly. He needs to be removed by force.

  45. I completely blame all those spineless accomplices who approved him. It was blatantly obvious what was going to happen and what threat Kennedy posed to the American people and yet they proved they cared nothing for the people just for their cushy position.

  46. Just because JFKjr is a disgrace and emblamatic of nearly the entire GOP does not mean that the United States has to be a disgrace as well.

  49. Yeah, he never should have been confirmed in the 1st place. All Rs but McConnell voted for him knowing he was a charlatan. Actually same with all Vought's Proj2025 cabinet enforcers. Selected to destroy their depts & create chaos. It's working and we're suffering for it.

  50. Totally agree! Making COVID vaccines available for people over 65 is absurd as cases are going up! This will keep families in danger of catching COVID again.

  51. I have to wonder, could this all be by design? Remember, Russia said it would destroy the US without firing a shot. Perhaps they wanted the most bat shit crazy person in charge of health with the mandate to destroy the system and then release something that makes COVID look like a birthday party.

  52. Sen Cassidy is at the top of my shit list . He literally could have stopped this. BTW He is up for re-election in ‘26. Do not vote for him .

  53. Ossoff nailed it. The fact that RFK Jr. was ever given a platform in the Senate is an indictment of how unserious and compromised our politics has become. Quackery has no place in public health.

  54. Sure, let the dude who voted for Crypto Klepto Bill explain quackery and putting this nation at risk.

  55. RFK Jr and T-rump are peas in the dumb pod - both of them are gullible and uninformed but have no idea they are such - on the contrary, it is practically impossible to get them to give up their lunatic beliefs - ever hear T-rump rant about windmills & the 2020 election; he's insane. Impeach both!

  57. All MAGA Fed & State branches are now corrupt & unconstitutional. “We the People…” can save our Democracy voting for only Democrat candidates; absolutely no Republicans! House & Senate will then have power to impeach & convict both Trump/Vance ending MAGA control. Also MAGA SCOTUS-6 can’t stop this.

  58. Love Ossoff but it's so far past this point. The US is under authoritarian rule, & Kennedy will never resign. Honestly, why do Democrats still believe MAGA fascists can be reasoned with? The chance for preventing fascism is long gone. Now is the time for a change in strategy. Recover & rebuild.
