"Polis, a Democrat, cheered Trump’s nomination of anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in November. Polis later defended his comments by saying “science must remain the cornerstone of our nation’s health policy,” that he personally supports vaccination and he hopes RFK Jr. will focus on “big pharma and corporate ag.”
He’s also tried to banter on social media with Republican players Vivek Ramaswamy and billionaire Elon Musk, both of whom are leading a group charged with studying potential cuts to the federal budget.
