RFK Jr. Defends Trump's Mental Fitness

The hearing took a sharp turn when Rep. Lucy McBath asked Kennedy to apologize for past comments about people with autism, to which he responded by accusing her of crying 'crocodile tears.' Kennedy also dismissed a recent study finding no link between Tylenol and autism as 'garbage' and called for its retraction.

The exchange highlighted the deep partisan divide over the administration's health policies and the President's public conduct.

Kennedy's performance has drawn both praise from conservative supporters and intense criticism from health advocates and opposition members.
