Senator Warnock grills Robert F Kennedy Jr. on CDC "Nazi" comparisons

U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock challenged Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a confirmation hearing over his past controversial comments. Kennedy, nominated by former President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Health & Human Services, has drawn backlash for comparing the CDC’s work to “Nazi death camps” and “sexual abusers in the Catholic Church.” A longtime environmental lawyer and vocal vaccine skeptic, Kennedy faces scrutiny for spreading vaccine misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric. During the hearing, Kennedy attempted to clarify his remarks, claiming he was highlighting broader impacts on children, not making direct comparisons. Video: C-SPAN
