Friend, I talk to Michiganders every day, and one thing keeps coming up over and over: People are scared.
|
They’re scared because the federal government’s approach to public health is guided by dangerous pseudoscience – causing endless chaos and confusion.
|
And it's because Donald Trump put a fringe conspiracy theorist in charge of public health.
|
Well, I’ve had enough.
|
Yesterday, I announced I’m drafting articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services.
|
There might not be anyone more dangerous in Trump’s Cabinet right now.
|
RFK Jr. has fired the CDC director, leading to department-wide uncertainty. He’s purged essential government scientists and gutted research into cancer, HIV, addiction, and mRNA technology – research that saves lives and powers Michigan’s innovation economy. And he’s lied to members of the U.S. Senate under oath.
|
I called for his resignation earlier this month. But when I saw him standing next to Trump, telling pregnant women not to take Tylenol – claiming, with zero proof, that it could cause autism – I hit my limit.
|
Telling women to “tough it out” during pregnancy? Give me a break. That’s advice a middle school gym teacher gives when you get hit too hard with a dodgeball – not medical advice for a woman who is growing an entire human in her body.
|
It’s dangerous. It’s dishonest. And it’s disqualifying.
|
We need thoughtful leaders who put science over BS. Facts over conspiracy theories. People over politics. RFK Jr. has proven – over and over again – that he is not one of them.
|
And if he doesn’t like it? Tough it out.
|
Thanks for standing on the side of science. Let’s keep fighting.
