WATCH: Sen. Tina Smith questions RFK Jr. in confirmation hearing

Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., questioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday in his confirmation hearing for health and human services secretary. Kennedy appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance. For years, Kennedy, an environmental lawyer, has spread misinformation and falsehoods about vaccines and their safety, including the heavily debunked claim that they cause autism. Kennedy has also promoted drinking raw milk, which the Food and Drug Administration says can pose a “serious health risk.” His views on these issues and others have prompted concern among health experts about his nomination. Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, ran for president as an independent in 2024 before dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump.
