CNN Anchor Slams Robert F. Kennedy Jr. With A Brutal On-Air Fact Check
HuffPost
Kasie Hunt tossed to a tape that instantly shut down the presidential candidate's claims.
CNN’s Kasie Hunt wasn’t having it with independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claim that he never made remarks about vaccines that he indeed made earlier this year.
Kennedy, a conspiracy theorist known for his anti-vax views, spoke to the anchor after a recent poll showed 21% of registered voters will either “definitely” or “probably” vote for Kennedy in the 2024 presidential election if President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump are their respective parties’ nominees.
Hunt noted that Kennedy has gained notoriety for his vaccine skepticism before she read from his own words.
“Over the summer, in an interview, you said ‘there’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective,’ do you still believe that?” Hunt asked before Kennedy disputed his own remarks.
“I never said that –,” he replied.
