HuffPost
The anti-vaccine political scion made the alarming declaration to followers recently.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose anti-vaccine history attracted right-wing followers to his failed presidential bid, said Donald Trump has pledged to give him “control” of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies if victorious in the election.
The former independent candidate, whose own political family dynasty disavowed his views on COVID-19, made the stunning remark in a livestream to followers, according to CNN. The network said it obtained video of it.
Kennedy named umbrella agencies over which he’d preside in some fashion, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“The key that I think I’m ― you know, that President Trump has promised me is ― is control of the public health agencies, which are HHS and its sub-agencies, CDC, FDA, NIH and a few others, and then also the USDA, which is ― which, you know, is key to making America healthy. Because we’ve got to get off of seed oils, and we’ve got to get off of pesticide intensive agriculture,” Kennedy said.
Trump, the Republican nominee, has said he was considering Kennedy, who’s currently campaigning for him, for a role in health administration. He ominously told a rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday he would let Kennedy “go wild on the medicines” in a potential second Trump White House.
