Tuberville stands behind RFK Jr despite mounting criticism

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) spoke in fervent defense of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday morning, pushing back on the bipartisan grilling of Kennedy during his Thursday Senate hearing.

Kennedy sat before the Senate Finance committee for an over three-hour hearing on September 4, fielding hard-hitting questions from Democrats and Republicans largely focused on his vaccine policies. Tuberville called Kennedy’s three-hour September 4 Senate hearing “a dogpile by politicians who are scared to death of questioning the status quo.”
