Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just defended one of the most explosive posts of the year, calling President Donald Trump’s threat to wipe out Iran’s “whole civilization” a “message of love and compassion to the Iranian people.” His comments came during a heated House hearing on April 17, 2026, where lawmakers grilled him over Trump’s mental fitness after a string of controversial posts that have left even Republicans uneasy.
According to People, the Health Secretary didn’t just stop at defending the post. He doubled down, insisting Trump’s words were a strategic masterstroke. “You can look at it and say, ‘Oh, it’s insane that he’d make this kind of threat,’” Kennedy said. “But he’s a dealmaker. He’s a bargainer.”
