He's going to have so much blood on his hands.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services doesn’t know about massive cuts to health programs?
Q: Did you personally approve the over $11B in cuts to local and state programs?
RFK Jr.: I'm not familiar with those cuts, they were mainly DEI.
Q: Did you know that $750K of a grant studying adolescent diabetes was cut?
RFK Jr.: I didn't know that

RJ Reynolds was the largest corporate donor to the Trump campaign at $10M. Yesterday, the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health was eliminated and the FDA fired the team responsible for regulating the tobacco industry. Reynolds for the win, and public health loses.
