Sen. John Kennedy Obliterates Democrats’ HHS Narrative—This Exchange Changed Everything

Sen. John Kennedy just obliterated the Democrats’ narrative on HHS budget cuts with nothing but a few simple questions.
RFK Jr. was under heavy fire.
Then Sen. Kennedy stepped in—and hit a grand slam.
This exchange flipped the whole hearing on its head. You have to see it.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went head-to-head with Senate Democrats today over major proposed budget cuts, including $18 billion slashed from the NIH and $3.6 billion from the CDC.
But for many Democrats, you’d think it was the end of the world.
Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) led the charge, slamming Kennedy for a $3 billion drop in federally funded biomedical research compared to last year.
Kennedy stood his ground.
“We’re cutting waste, we’re cutting duplicative programs,” he said.
Still, Baldwin wouldn’t let up. She framed the loss of “3,200 fewer grants” as an attack on “life-saving programs.”
