The gentlelady from Washington was a steely truth seeker on Thursday morning, as Sen. Patty Murray confronted Cabinet nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about his anti-vaxxer views and false claims.

At issue at the confirmation hearing — RFK, Jr. has been tapped to be Secretary of Health and Human Services —was a vaccine designed to prevent cervical cancer. The vaccine is vouched for by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but has been largely described by RFK, Jr. as “one of the most dangerous vaccines ever approved.”

You have “said it actually increases the risk of cervical cancer,” said Murray. “Do you stand by those statements?” Kennedy threw up an evasive flurry, refusing to answer the question because a lawsuit against makers of the HPV vaccine is before a court in Los Angeles. The plaintiff is represented by the Wismer Baum law firm that has paid RFK, Jr,, $2.5 million in referral fees since 2022.

Murray wasn’t going to let off the would-be swamp drainer. While overall cancer rates among women have climbed, she noted, “the HPV vaccine has saved lives and cut cervical cancer rates dramatically. Do you stand by those statements, yes or no?”

1. My Senator, "Fighting Patty" Murray!

2. Wish I was back up there, where

sane and reasonable people exist. Had to move to red state, due to family issues, and can't afford to move back. I voted for Ms. Murray when she first ran.

3. I hope you will be able to move back someday.

With any luck, by the time you get here, we'll be The Republic of Cascadia.
