RFK Jr. grilled in House hearings

During seven hours of testimony before the Ways and Means and Appropriations committees, Kennedy was accused of promoting 'dangerous conspiracy theories' that have undermined public health.

A shouting match erupted when a Democratic lawmaker pressed him on past comments regarding the 're-parenting' of Black children.

Kennedy also faced rare criticism from a Republican colleague whose family was personally affected by his rhetoric on autism.

Despite the backlash, the Secretary doubled down on his plan to dismantle traditional health agencies and promote the 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda.
