If this isn't memed to hell and back by the end of tomorrow I'll be sorely disappointed.
I mean, isn't that the main complaint about him?
The headline should be “Kennedy admits that he should not be Health and Human Services Secretary and should not be involved in decisions”
self awareness that you suck doesn't redeem you from sucking
Then resign, you incompetent fuck!
But this fucker is more than happy to force you to follow his medical opinion by removing previously available, legal, and safe options.
The hearings also come as House Republicans work on portions of a bill that propose making deep cuts to Medicaid and could leave millions of people uninsured. Kennedy acknowledged that the legislation — as currently written — would cause people to lose their health insurance, following a question from Sanders. “I can go through the people who will lose it. A million people ... there are a million people,” Kennedy said
Really buried that lede.
Dumb people like this forget they can't just overwrite history like in the middle ages. Internet always remebers. This level of stupidity is going to be (hopefully) remembered for decades to come.
I get being dumb and paid outrageous amount of money softens or removes that guilt but playing with other people's life is extremely fucked up thing to do. Especially when there's a lot of prior research in the field.
