WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
He’s a barbarian orc
Sept Rfk Jr promised to know what caused Autism. Republicans voted to take out lead from pipes. Large # of population only eat fast food no nutrional value and loaded with chemicals. Lack of heakthcare- Lack of vitamins and nutrition in gestation US has kids later. Genetics
The only science he really has a handle on is how to produce heroin from opium poppies.
The senator was a minister in his previous life. He would do well to pray to his ecclesiastical god for moral guidance instead of idolizing the felon in the Oval who, by appointing a lawyer instead of a healthcare professional, isn’t interested in the health and wellbeing of his fellow Americans.
"I believe he's who the president picked" Translation: he's a goddamn fucking loon but I'm scared of a dying old man so I can't admit it publicly
Lankford knows. He almost broke free when they shut down his immigration bill but then because McConnell and the rest retreated he followed suit. Just pathetic cowards all.
He is no different than Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski or that pcs of crap Fetterman .
Republicans are the 💩iest people on earth.
Pushing through boundaries?? Asking hard questions?? He can go TO HELL!!! He's not a scientist.
If his name wasnt Kennedy he’d be walking around the streets wearing a sandwich board and handing out flyers spouting this shit
Welker finally pushes back!
Humminah humminah humminah
Lankford... Republican stooge.
Can the media wake TF up and understand we’re under attack from a theocratic fascist cult?
Well, to be clear, I didn't say he was following normal science, but more pseudo science. You know the kind we Republicans find most convincing. Because; we're idiots. 🚬😎
Q "Do you have confidence in him?" A "He's the one we're stuck with. Let's just pretend he's competent, okay? Easier that way."
If you follow the science you'll find this. A huge amount of research has been done & data has been gathered on 100s of thousands of individuals with ASD. Due to the vast heterogeneity of Autism, these findings are population trends, not a biological signature. Science hasn't found a general cause.
These people are just robots spouting the party line
A simple Google search will show that the US does not have appreciably higher rates of autism than other countries.
1. Trump is the guy who really stupid people picked. 2. Lankford is who really stupid people picked. 3. Kennedy is who a really stupid president picked. Hooray! Democracy at work! 🥴
When Lankford defers to the preferences of Trump, he is failing on two counts. • he has a duty as a Senator to the system of checks and balances, not to just simper and comply • he is normalizing the idea that the government does what Trump wants, not what is best for the people -- dictator shit.
Come on Langford. Grow a spine. Get your head out of the sand. youtu.be/5BNj-BneTNI
He needs to get his head out of Trump's ass!
You were very kind to use "sand."
This is the former doctor who started this stupid nonsense. He got run out of TX, lost his medical license in the UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_... Lankford is an ex preacher.
Are Lankford's lips orange yet?
And did she push back on this statement? Of course not. Why does anyone in their right mind watch this BS?
We watch it because we are hoping against hope that one of these "journalists" will find a spine and either push back or at least ask legit questions. All she had to say was, "So, Senator, you're telling me by your answers that you do not have 100% confidence in RFK."
Because they were vaccinated and autism has taken them over now. Proven by random Wikipedia page about oranges. Am I making too much sense or do I need to dumb it down more? Lol
"I believe he's who the president picked" He really went out on a limb with that statement.
Impeach RFK Jr!!!
The typical response to a question about a cabinet member. "He's who the president picked." No shit, we know that. At least he didn't say "that's what the American people voted for."
Autism is rising because they've gotten better at diagnosing it. It was the same reason covid cases were rising in 2020. Kennedy is doing Trump's version of "stop testing and cases will go down".
Exactly
Another Okie from Muskogee like MarkWayne His parents gave him 2 first names because Dip & Shit had been taken
Lankford's not even Oklahoman by birth. He's from Texas. That's not necessarily a crime (Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is Oklahoman by birth), but he needs to cool it with the assertion that he "represents" Oklahoma. Many of us are repelled by his religious fanaticism and vicious homophobia.
Lankford, as with all the Republican Senators, is a coward. He could have voted to solve this problem two impeachments ago.
He’s got this distinct look like his soul has left the building and the occupier is still installing the upload.
That has a name now--Marco Rubio Syndrome.
Sounds legit - 10/10.
He's "Ginger Skellitor."
Until next time…
They got the word spin down pat. None of them have confidence in that psycho. They are just too cowardous to say it. So when their children and family start dying just remind them that they supported a corrupt heroine addict with no training what so ever to control our health care.
But see, in bizarro world, it's stupid to trust the experts, so we should trust the people like him with no medical background. And science is bad, so non-scientific assertions are what we should believe. And we should do our own research, which means research in labs is fake news, unlike grok.
Cowardice and lies are like the whole maga platform but with some grunting and puffed chests and manly scowls.
Lankford: trmp toady.
Republicans lie to the American people all the time. Keep calling them out! Do not normalize their behavior.
Oh, he's pushing the boundaries alright.
Anyone whose still backing Brainworm CAN ROT IN HELL!
These fuckin people. I mean Lankford knows better.
Such a spineless weasel.
There is absolutely no reason to trust anything a man with hair like that says. He clearly thinks he’s better at lying than he really is.
Idiot!!!
Just take one look at RFK Jr. someone to advise others on health??? Trump voters are useless, evil parasites.
Vote all these Republicans OUT!!! They are beholden only to the guy on his deathbed, not constituents.
blah blah blah! The hog talks shit about EVERYONE he doesn't like. So these folks continue to take the high road. Lankford- tell us what you really think.
"...seems to be following the science..." Has Lankford read the science? My guess is ... no.
None of them can think for themselves. They repeat the same bullshit wherever they go. My master chose him so he must be right.
Langford is as about as reasonable, honest and accurate as any other traitorous Republican. 🙄
That would be Zero %. Got it. 👍
Why are all these Republicans such cowards to call out MAGA?
Because keeping their paycheques & perks is more important that what happens to the people. It's all & only about them.
If Lankford believes in RFK Jr so much, RFK Jr should devote any and ALL his efforts by focusing solely on the healthcare of POTUS.
And Lankford/his family need to give up their PCP/medical specialists they currently see with their Cadillac-grade health insurance and follow ONLY RFK Jr's instructions for their healthcare. Let's see how long they last.
IMPEACH RFKJR “Democrats need to focus. The way to attack flooding the zone is to have a single message each day… “I think we need to use impeachment now… impeach RFK Jr.!” You get a debate, and we can talk about the outrageous things that this monster is doing…” www.rawstory.com/impeachment-...
That guy is a real life IDIOT!!
Another idiot
Lankford you are pitiful. Science and RFK will never be accurate in the same sentence. The “president” picked a crazy guy because that was the prize for a few votes
Lankford seems to be another congressional coward who refuses to let facts get in the way of his willingness to lick Trump's boots.
😂
Liar.
The Senate also picked RFK Jr
You simply can’t reason with people who support a convicted felon as our US President.
I don’t connect those two but I have to agree with what rfk is doing because my orange leader says so!
Autism rates are increasing and RFK wants to lower them? What a fucking conspiracy theorist piece of shit, does he really not realize that autism is a gift not a disorder?! I know one autistic person and he’s good at tunic cube and votes blue so they can’t be that dumb
My be needs to have a medical examination and treatments.
“I believe he’s who the Rapist Felon in Chief chose, but I’m not sure, I haven’t received my bribery payment yet.” —Sen. WankTurd
Didn't actually answer the question either.
Didn't even try. One would think it should've been pretty easy to just say, "Yes."
Don’t you love how they twist themselves in knots trying so hard not to say anything that will upset dear leader?
Holy shit. That man has collects people’s eyelashes and touches himself while smelling them every night vibes.
Lankford had you been understanding what science has told us you would understand that worm eaten brained secretary Kennedy was just blowing smoke up your arse. Like they use to do to treat various illnesses.
These repukes are ALL idiots!
Lankford twisted in the wind on immigration. No surprise he’s melania on Kennedy.
Ask every Democratic politician in your chain of representation if they believe their Republican colleagues are good-faith actors. If they don't say no, primary the holy hell out of them.
WANKFORD. Fool.
Fitting nickname for him...an utter wanker!
Hope this fucker catches something incurable and soon. Fuck all of these complicit assholes.
Worse than ignorance is militant, deliberate ignorance. That’s evil.
Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie Bullshit Deny Lie These fucking people
STUPID BOOTLICKER LITTLE MAN
I give up...Kennedy is mentally ill...but sure let's support the m'fer
The whole damn country supported the mentally ill m'fer in chief, so who's surprised?
He is crazier than a shit house rat.
I thought I was the only person left alive who said “crazier than a shit house rat”
One of my dad's (and my) favorite sayings!
😊
They’re out here doing the Lord’s work by keeping an absolute classic alive.
I learned "outhouse rat". Same idea.
Yes
Nope - lots of ex-G.I.’s say it. Me included.
I know it is an old saying. I am old enough to have a bunch of them.
Never heard it, but I am now stealing it lol
Ditto, lol
Came here to say the same. 😂
😊
That's a new one to me, but I love it.
He looks like a Cullen here. 🧛🏻
Suck up, suck up, suck up
They aren’t even pretending to give a coherent answer. Just spewing out some lies and gibberish and calling it an answer.
Who is this uninformed, uneducated lackey?!🙄🥱🙄
Unfortunately, he is the Senator from deeply red Oklahoma. Once again embarrassing his constituents.
That’s not a yes.
"I believe he's who the president picked." Duh yeah, and look at all the other unqualified clowns he has picked!
The one thing that drug addict is not doing is following the science. He is following all the kooks he can find in the darkest corners of the internet and amplifying their loony views for the MAGA ignoramuses.
I feel like the answer is fairly simple. There are more cases of Autism because we now recognize more cases of Autism. People used to not even believe women could be Autistic.
being totally and obviously UNQUALIFIED is the only qualification for a Trump appointee.
Remember when Congress used to be a separate branch of government?
“I believe he’s who the president picked…” I’m tired of these bullshit non-answers and posturing and defending this stupid evil motherfucker.
Not following the science!
Lankford makes me 🤮🤮🤮 He knows this harms people and he’s good with that. All that fake “faith” is disgraceful
Rethuglicans will fuck over children to lie for the orange fuck! These damn republicans have zero care of children and even support a sex offender!
We should not ask for opinions from any Senator from Oklahoma. They are last in everything.
💯
Following the science????
Another idiot.
Lankford is a contortionist, bending and twisting himself into pretzels to not criticize RFK Jr and thus by extension, Trump. Pathetic. America has no trustworthy GOP politicians.
We’re talking about millions of people’s lives here…jfc!
They’re very comfortable with lying.
"WATCH WHAT THEY DO *NOT* WHAT THEY SAY‼️"
Jesus Christ….a talking fucking corpse
So sick of Republican double speak.🗣️ 😤🤬
"WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs" Finally "some" push back. But she negates to bring up the fact that Kennedy DOES believe that vaccines cause autism and he has been caught lying that the truth is he doe not believe in ANY vaccines.
The GOP -- all of them -- are irredeemable. Vote them all out or not (at your cost)
Lankford is back in form. The stupid fuck.
Lankford voted to confirm Kennedy.
Langford is a dickhead with a theology degree. He shouldn’t be commenting on health related topics. Now, Bill Cassidy, he’s the problem. A medical doctor that still supports RFK should lose his license to practice immediately.
"It's not going to affect me, so I don't give a shit." 😒
Republicans are the enablers of all things evil
Butt-snokler. Such BS. RFK Jr following the science. Yay, right.
Lankford: “I believe he’s who the president picked”. Weaker should’ve responded with “no sh*t Sherlock” his obtuse answer. Lankford got screwed by his peers to work on immigration reform they all wanted & DJT told them not to vote on it. He’s trying to still have his cake as a MAGA senator
Sumud Flotilla #freePalestine #justice #goodtoknow #DividedStatesofBarbarica
Keep up the lies mark - how pathetic!!
Another trump mouthpiece.
Frankenstein was more of a doctor than RFK Jr is, and RFK Jr is more of a monster than Frankenstein — who wasn't a monster at all.
I don't think we have more cases of autism than other countries
They guys never say what they mean. Weak mf!
Microwaved Mel Gibson
He's no angel. He's the Junkie of Death.
Every fucking time you think a republican is coming to their senses, you are never disappointed.
I save myself the trouble. The will never happen
We are doomed. End of story.
I once believed Langford seemed legit. Boy-was I wrong.
There is some very new research showing a link between some thickening in the developing brain early in gestation and autism. But yeah, let's cancel research funding and blame something that saves lives. Also, what ever happened to just wearing a bag of garlic? So sustainable!
These guys never answer the question and don’t care how big of a tell it is when they don’t answer the question because all they care about is keeping their jobs. Translation: He doesn’t have confidence in RFK Jr but Trump picked him and that’s all that matters.
Period !!
JFC these people are talking profiles in chicken shit.
I’m glad she’s having these Republicans on, but I do believe that the MSM needs to stop being terrified of being accused of being biased and too liberal, and start stating the obvious which is that Republicans are anti-science, pro authoritarianism, a cult, and constantly gaslighting.
What they SHOULD be doing is calling them liars, on air, and refusing to accept this bullshit. My god, our media fails us every fucking day. We need foreign media to teach these idiots how to do their goddamn jobs.
This is part of the reason why we are seeing cable news, and MSM in general, becoming less and less relevant.
Yes if I think that someone is changing their reporting because either they are purchasing access from their subject or that they are simply too chicken shit to critically report then I don't want to hear from them.
The media is managed and owned by Republicans!
The media is managed and owned by Republicans!
We need to completely clean house on our media sphere. People who crave access more than credibility need to be ejected. And people who use access to maintain an aura of infallibility need to learn that they just don't get any attention if they won't talk to credible reporters.
How do you do that when the media is managed AND owned by Republicans???
You sue the shit out of them every time they make the tiniest mistake and misinform anyone. We also need to start suing the shit out of them every time there's a mass shooting and blame them for it. They are absolutely part and parcel of the gun violence problem in this country.
We starve them of attention.
The media is managed and owned by Republicans!
Why is she afraid of him? Call him a liar. Welker now a journalistic waste.
She’s always been a joke.
They're holding themselves back for no reason even though they clearly see through the BS. Lankford: Well, I agree it is a scientific fact. I am just selective about scientific facts. Welker: Ok.
Well at least she can probably name one Whitesnake album.
Lankford is a MAGA rube. Pathetic.
I don’t connect those two but I 💯 support the guy who does…just because Trump told me I have to.
This guys an idiot... They don't do science in Oklahoma?
Not really. Petroleum engineering, tornado watching and football.
Playing Michigan next week..
As an Oklahoman, can confirm.
Native Okie here as well. I left out "catfish noodling" because we have to reserve something for ourselves.
Considering Oklahoma ranks 48th in education, I’d say that was a pretty good call.
Trailer trash is now running the country.
🤮
I’m fairly confident that the president picked him as well. That’s the fucking problem. He picked a loon, and people who swear everything needed to be known is in a 2000 year old book support these lunatics while humans who can use their brains are minimized. History repeats.
If the republican party were a functional governing party voting for a clearly disqualified nominee even if they’re “the president’s choice” or if he god forbid let out a “mean tweet” would be an impeachable offense, but alas…
Who woke her up and gave her follow-up fact checks?
see how it only takes stating facts to make an idiot look stupid
Why does Meet the Press or any of the "news" shows give these liars air time?
If they're talking, they're lying.
RFK doesn't "follow the science" any further than checking the body temperature of his roadkill.
PER CAPITA get some fucking education MAGA!
Pieces of shit, defending pieces of shit. All these fucking traitors need to be held accountable for their treason.
held by a rope...
"I believe he's who the President picked..." I believe you have integrity hiding behind there somewhere. Let it out, James! It might hurt at first, but then you'll be able to hit these news shows and have something to say that we might believe. Resign from the Society of #ButtSnokelers
Lankford appears to have some Mitochondria issues!
He believes? Is Lankford blind? No. Kennedy is not following science. Kennedy is only out to murder people. His preferred target: children. What a stupid answer.
Then ask an expert you fucking ghoul!
What are the hard questions he’s asking? He’s not a scientist or MD? Each time you ask RFK a question, he doesn’t have an answer. He hasn’t read the specific medical report or met with the actual medical professional(s) he is being questioned about. He never has an answer.
Langford is a fucking coward
On what planet is he following the science?
I have ZERO confidence in Kennedy! We have decades of success with vaccines
Kim Jong Un gets more push back from his cabinet in Pyongyang.
we have more autism here because we have science that identifies it - 😠
“Kennedy following the science”🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Oklahoma has the biggest cowards for politicians ever seen and they love to show their ignorance by speaking
"He is following the science." "vaccines do not cause autism." "Oh, no, that has been proven, they don't cause autism." So JFK is not following the science. These guys can't go one minute without lying or contradicting themselves.
No GOP politico is going to dare criticize RFK until there's a Kennedy-caused infectious disease outbreak that kills dozens & threatens to kill hundreds.
And even then, it will be reported in the biggies as "Democrats accuse HHS secretary of..."
Just say YES you SPINELESS POS!
Let's start with "I believe that's who the president picked " No kidding. This is how their answers are a waste of breath. Say something important or STFU.
This guy is such a hypocrite, yet the news shows have him on because he’s a very confident hypocrite.
Idiot. Kennedy is going to kill people
I think if one of these guys ever gives a straight yes or no answer, I'll faint. She asked him if he has 100% faith...He answers with "I believe he's who the president picked." He didn't have the courage to say he had no confidence in Kennedy. Why? What are they so afraid of?
He's following the instructions of a brain worm, Trump.
Wow! A real time correction and slight push back. That's better than most reporters these days... She let him get away with other blatantly false tRump talking points and non-answers though, so no gold star.
maga politicians struggle to make sense of RFK Jr's destruction of our national health agencies but comes back to his faith-filled talking points: "He's who the president picked." Come on. OK's maga Rep/Rev Lankford knows no other lines. He might explode if he questioned trump...
Let’s arrange a spectacle and watch for the explosion, shall we? We could sell tickets!
Let us once again celebrate the invention of the word “milquetoast”
He’s a senator so that is worst . Oklahoma is one state that needs to be cut loose from the union . Just look at their history . Not only did they bomb the shit out of Black Wall Street . They elected Ryan Walter’s to run education . Fucking Christian Nationalist prick .
Lankford. One of the most brilliant minds of our time... thelostogle.com/2021/01/04/j...
Okie senators are major league ass kissers and dick su*kers. Whenever they are called upon, they hit their knees.
It must be difficult to speak with your mouth fastened to a back side. RFK is not following science. He’s not asking hard questions. He is mobilizing the ignorant. I hope everyone supporting this national travesty pays at the polls.
Mainstreaming of autism conspiracy theories hurts mental health of those with autism, their fams, and those w/ other disabilities. Have slightly noticeable CP. Can't imagine if 15yo me heard the president had called me a tragedy. Ignorant hacks making policy about vulnerable people is the tragedy.
a danger to society-ignorant
The links are between the Republican Party and utter Bullshit.
Cuck.
This man looks like a Victorian child struck with consumption. I’m ok with not taking is medical advice or opinions.

The reality is the only cure autism or any kind of disease, illness, etc is to create genetically modifying test tube babies, like cloning😉
I continue to believe he’d be happier as a dentist.
F U LANKFORD
The reason? Were better at diagnosing autism and more accepting on people being on the spectrum. It's just that simple. Same as the "why are there more gay people?" question, there aren't, people are just less repressed and less afraid of being out.
Very similar to "transgender people didn't exist when I was a kid." I swear to God, these people's development literally stopped when they were teenagers. Everything that's happened after that is obviously just made up as part of the woke agenda.
Okie is taking out both sides of his mouth. Lost my respect.
RFK, Jr. was a heroin addict for 14 years. He still credits heroin for bringing up his grades. Not my idea of somebody who understands science or the human body.
Until Mad Lord Trump tells me to think differently I will think like this
Lankford looks pretty good considering how his face melted off when he helped the other nazi's open up that box.
they are all so afraid of Trump, they don't care if they humiliate themselves, they just don't
The extreme weaseling these Trump folks have to do to try to justify the lunacy Trump has brought to Washington is truly remarkable. Seems shame and self respect have gone out the window for Republicans. 
Kennedy und Lankford scheinen sich nicht gerade als Vorbilder zu verkaufen, oder?
Langford bewegt sich vorsichtig zwischen den Landminen der öffentlichen Meinung und der Zustimmung zu Trump. Kennedy ist einfach verrückt.
Toadies and cowards
And to think he is likely one of the most reasoned R's elected.
Eat shit Lankfoot. Keep sucking the Yamtits.
Imagine still believing Republicans care about you
These syncophants “he’s who dear leader picked” 🙄 they are going to get so many people killed
And they share responsibility for those deaths.
Absolutely
Nice to seek Welker pushing back.
He is NUTS
How does Senator Lankford stand up without a spine?
What a joke. 😂😅😆😄
Nope he's fucked up and you know it
No answer. He is ignoring the science!
Dr. Kennedy will be performing full prostate exams and colonoscopy's on all male senate and congress members . Seems like the only one really excited about this is Jim Jordan .
Lankford is a shill for Trump and doesn’t know what he is talking about.
BRAINWASHED lemmings
Lankford did not say he has 100% confidence in RFK Jr. did he? Listen to what he DIDN'T say
My thing is just say it stop the word salad he’s a professed Christian man he should be that at all times and it starts with telling the truth all the time
