The health secretary appeared before the House Appropriations Committee this morning. This afternoon he'll go before the Senate's Health, Labor, Education and Pensions committee.
Exactly. That’s like SecDef being like “idk, I’m really not in a position to give military advice”. I say that fully aware of the irony, but it’s hard to pick a non-busted example since Trump’s cabinet is just completely full of “meritocracy”.
Don’t forget he went to Harris and she turned him away, and he went to Trump. Trump “allegedly” gave him the position in exchange for dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump. Which happened directly after.
People claimed at the time that would be illegal as it would fall under quid pro quo.
Edit: had to update it because the timeline was unclear which he went to first. One source reports he went to Trump first, then Harris after. Either way the result was the same. Harris didn’t respond, and Trump did. Getting the endorsement
Right… so why did you take the position of Secretary of Health, again?

Mediocrity.
Ha, if only. I wish it could be that rosy :'(
Maybe midiocracy?
Kakistocracy
It’s called that cause our government is lead by a bunch of KACKS
don’t do my MIDI interfaces and keyboards like that :(
We live in the dumbest timeline.
He took it because he’s a narcissist who’s convinced he’s right about everything because of his last name and his money. Sound familiar?
Trump’s entire cabinet was picked for two reasons: Loyalty To Trump and Pissing Off Anyone Who Doesn’t Kiss Trump’s Ass. RFK fills that second one.

“Illegal” is a word that only applies to poor people.
It also is not held in politics. We have lost all integrity.
I’m surprised Harris didn’t respond, she seemed to like endorsements from shit headed right wingers
For those of us like me that can step back. This timeline is absurdly funny.
It’s literally just a game to them.
I don’t disagree but this is a lot better than him giving false ‘information’
The job of Secretary of Health is best suited for an administrator, not a doctor.
Because he’s positioning himself in a place so he and his family can benefit from the oligarchy.
