Schumer Demands Trump Fire RFK Jr. Immediately Over CDC Chaos

New York, N.Y. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement demanding Donald Trump fire Robert F. Kennedy Jr from his post as Secretary of Health and Human Services following the chaos at the CDC:

“Donald Trump knew Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be a disastrous pick to lead health care in America and he nominated him anyway. Donald Trump made this mistake and now he must fire RFK Jr. immediately.

“RFK Jr.’s stubborn, pigheaded, and conspiracy-based attacks on proven science are going to make many more people sick and cause more deaths. Americans are in greater danger every day Robert Kennedy Jr. remains as HHS Secretary.

“By keeping Robert Kennedy in charge of HHS, Trump is doubling down on his own failure. President Trump must admit his mistake and remove Kennedy now.”
