Jackasses in action: Senate confirmation hearings for RFK, Jr. commence -- and it sounds like a zoo
By Monica Showalter

If anyone thought the jackassery was bad with the Pete Hegseth defense secretary Senate confirmation hearings, get a load of the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Senate hearings, going on now in his confirmation for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

They're attacking him from all angles and it's ugly.

Start with just the appearance of it -- the healthy and vigah-ous looking Bobby is being forced to sit in judgment by a panel of crypt-keepers:

    These Democrats grilling RFK Jr are poster children for WHY America needs RFK to make them all healthy again.

    These are sickly, prematurely aged crones who look like they were just pried out of their crypts.

    Senator Wyden has the waxen pallor and reptilian composure of a high-society mortician

Many are larded up with special-interest cash from the very business interests Bobby seeks to curb from political influence:

    If you want to know why this Communist is opposing RFK Jr.‘s confirmation…just know that Senator Wyden took 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS from the Healthcare Industrial Complex. pic.twitter.com/eaYo4bQ1t8

Speaking of conflicts of interest.

There's also the preening:

    This @RFKJr_Official hearing is really boring so far. So many “passionate statements” asserting he is this way and that way. When he tries to answer or correct them, they interrupt him and repeat some part of their speech.
    Totally boring. We want to hear him talk, not listen to…

A couple of times the Dem cut RFK, Jr off and didn't allow him to answer. Then said they were entering their question into the record. So what will be read later will be the question/Dem opinion and not what Kennedy said at all.

That's not misleading. /s

They're Democrats, true to form.

After what they did to doctors and scientists during COVID, you didn't think the HHS secretary's hearing would be fair, did you?
