RFK Jr. Defends Trump's Mental Fitness

During a heated hearing before the House Education and Workforce Committee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced intense questioning regarding President Trump's recent controversial social media posts.

Democratic Representative Mark Takano pressed the HHS Secretary on whether he would invoke the 25th Amendment if the president were found unfit.

Kennedy dismissed the line of questioning, characterizing Trump's rhetoric as a strategic negotiation tactic rather than a sign of cognitive decline.

The exchange highlights the deepening partisan divide over the administration's leadership and mental health transparency.
