Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is President Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. On Wednesday, he has his first confirmation meeting in front of senators. On Thursday, he will go before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
There was a lighthearted moment during the hearing when RFK Jr. said he did not plan to prevent Americans from things like McDonald’s or Diet Coke, joking that he knows President Trump also occasionally indulges in those items.
🚨 RFK Jr: "I don’t want to take food away from anybody. If you like a McDonald's cheeseburger, Diet Coke, which my boss LOVES, you should be able to get them."
