RFK Jr. Defends Trump's Health

In a tense congressional session, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was grilled about the President's recent social media posts and his rhetoric regarding the Iran war.

Kennedy argued that Trump's threats were a 'nuanced tactic' of negotiation and accused Democrats of using 'crocodile tears' when discussing sensitive issues like autism.

The hearing also touched on Kennedy's own controversial policies, including his stance on vaccines and ADHD medications.

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle used the session to highlight the deep political divisions surrounding the administration's health and security priorities.
