Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. started an angry rant during a hearing Tuesday, prompting a Republican senator to urge him to “hold back.”

Kennedy’s outburst came after Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) slammed drastic staffing and funding cuts at his department, and asked whose decision it was to withhold certain childcare and development funds.

Kennedy began by criticizing former President Joe Biden’s administration, and when Murray tried to get him back on track, he snapped back: “You know what, you’ve made an accusation and I’m going to answer it.”

Kennedy then launched into into a heated personal tirade against Murray, who tried to rein him in to no avail.

1. He is delusional, paranoid, aggressive, anger issues.

And he is in charge of the nation's healthcare.

He's messing with the wrong woman. Senator Murray is always prepared and knowledgable on all the issues.

Anger is usually a late stage development. So there is hope.

4. This administration is composed of the WORST possible incompetent and dangerous fools and idiots!

5. I am so f'ing sick of RFK Jr.

Bobby's been trading on his father's and uncle's memory, and his family's good name all his life. He's had everything handed to him on the proverbial silver platter, and has accomplished little beyond his corrupt involvement with Waterkeepers Alliance, and spreading dangerous anti-vaccine misinformation for years to gullible imbeciles. Without his famous last name Bobby would still be scavenging road kill for supper.
