Seven months after they voted to confirm longtime anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr, some Republican senators are having second thoughts after his moves — as public health experts and Democrats warned — to limit access to vaccines. w @theodoricmeyer.bsky.social @rachelroubein.bsky.social
Their "second thoughts" (or second prayers) mean nothing. Remove RFK, Jr. now or own the consequences forever.
Better question, Post: it was clear who and what he was months ago. WTF did they confirm him?
They probably think they don’t have blood on their hands, too
god I fucking hate Republicans.
Wtf did they think he was gonna do?!
how is it that they did not realize this was exactly what would happen if rfk,jr was confirmed? HOW?
He literally told us he would do this. What utter failures these republicans are.
He's a Kennedy and traditionally a Democrat, so it makes sense that this is the only person the gop would find fault with in this administration of dunces.
Well, what the fuck are they gonna do about it?
No republicans will dare to oppose Trump. End of story. Move on. Other ways to stop the madness. Some are pretty. Some are not, but effective.
Confirming this charlatan to head HHS already ranks as one of the most shameful moments in modern Senate history.
FFS. I don’t think they are “newly worried”. At his confirmation hearings, they were only worried that they’d lose their jobs if they went against the orange, corpulent pig. They’re saying it now because they feel comfortable & safe enough, and can still collect a paycheck.
They can all fuck off. It was clear who he is and what he would do. They own this shit and I hope they lose their precious Senate seats over it.
Worried, nay concerned, but not doing shit about it? They all might as well be Collins or Murkowski.
Hi, my name is David Kennedy. I’m dead because my big brother Bobby introduced me to heroin 💉 I died in a Florida hotel room, alone 🪦 #RKJunkie 💉 🩸 Now big bro is rewarded with a White House position where he is determined to kill many many more. So much easier killing people not related to you.
Alternative headline: Most G.O.P senators still think that killing a few kids is an acceptable price to pay if it reduces the chances of receiving a mean tweet.
All sentient beings could see this coming.
Makes sense, then, that Republican senators were caught off-guard.
Second thoughts are about as helpful as thoughts and prayers…
Trump will say Boo! and they’ll all shut up.
Don't give the GOP members of Congress a minute of peace. You have a right to call anyone in Congress. Here's the senator phone list. There are 53 Republican Senators Call every day. Ok to call off hours and blow up their VM. 202.224.#### Be vocal. Be visible. Be disruptive. Make the calls
NOW they’re finally “concerned?” 🤦♀️
Proving just how stupid and vapid republicans are. Like super duper unbelievably dumb as shit stupid.
How surprising
Oh, no! Not bad politics?
FabrizioWard, influential conservative polling firm, warned GOP Senate offices last week on political risks. “Republicans should not mistake skepticism over the COVID vaccine as evidence that Republican voters are against all vaccinations. To do so would be folly.” Here’s that memo:
Florida is ready to model how this folly will play out irl.
Votes>Second Thoughts
Seventh month into his job and RFk comes to a senate hearing knowing less about HHS than a college grad interviewing for a job there. Like, Google a few basics, you braying jackass.
