Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced strong criticism from Democratic senators during his recent appearance before the Senate Appropriations Committee. The confrontation marks the latest in a series of congressional hearings where Kennedy has appeared unaware of decisions made by his own department.
According to MSCBC, during the hearing, Kennedy repeatedly claimed no knowledge of various policy changes and funding cuts that had been implemented under his leadership. When questioned about cuts to ALS research funding, the secretary stated that this was the first he had heard about such measures.
