Sen. Sanders pressures RFK Jr. to resign as Health chief after CDC chaos
The Hill ^ | 08/30/25 3:04 PM ET | by Filip Timotija

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is pressuring Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign after this week’s tumult at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that saw top officials depart after the agency director was ousted.

Sanders, the ranking member on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, said that he agrees with President Trump and Kennedy on making the public “healthy again,” but warned that the problem is that “since coming into office President Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite.”

“Despite the overwhelming opposition of the medical community, Secretary Kennedy has continued his longstanding crusade against vaccines and his advocacy of conspiracy theories that have been rejected repeatedly by scientific experts,” Sanders wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times, which was published Saturday morning.

“It is absurd to have to say this in 2025, but vaccines are safe and effective. That, of course, is not just my view,” the Vermont senator added. “Far more important, it is the overwhelming consensus of the medical and scientific communities.”

Sanders is a loser! RFK Jr. is one of the brightest and best in the cabinet in my opinion.... You'll soon see why

I am sure such a savage gumming by a toothless old Marxist towel and lotion boy like Bernie will cause JFK,Jr to re-evaluate everything.

Cleaning house at the CDC was one of the healthiest things for America ever. IMO, they should can the whole bunch and start over.

Sanders is a tired old communist from the hippie days. He needs to go away. The problem with that is Vermont will just elect a younger communist to fill his shoes.

Pressure? from Sanders? He is pushing against the wind. He can make noise but he, of all people, exerts no “pressure” against anybody. He flails verbally, no more.
than that.

I doubt RFK is feeling any “pressure” from that wrinkled up communist relic.
