RFK Jr. defends Trump's sanity

RFK Jr. defends Trump's sanity

The testimony before the House Education and Workforce Committee devolved into a series of sharp exchanges over Trump's social media rhetoric and the ongoing war in Iran.

Kennedy argued that the president's threats of total destruction were sophisticated negotiating tactics rather than signs of instability.

Democrats countered by highlighting Trump's recent gaffes, including his confusion over the term 'corner store' and controversial AI-generated imagery.

The hearing also touched on public health concerns, with Kennedy claiming the U.S. leads the world in controlling measles despite rising case numbers.
