As Fox News’s Chad Pergram reported, McConnell gave a nasty speech on the Senate floor following the vote explaining why he voted against RFK Jr and the Make America Healthy Again movement. McConnell first turned to a predictable target every critic has used against RFK. Jr: vaccines. “I’m a survivor of childhood polio,” McConnell said. “In my lifetime, I’ve watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world. “I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures, and neither will millions of Americans who credit their survival and quality of life to scientific miracles.”...

...that will affect millions of families.

As we've just reported, former Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell was the only Republican senator to vote no on RFK Jr's nomination. McConnell may have been motivated this time by his experience as a polio survivor. Kennedy has previously criticised the vaccine, which research shows is safe and effective. It's not the first time McConnell has found himself among a small group of Republicans going against Trump's wishes. He voted no on Trump's pick for the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, whom he said "alarming lapses in judgment" regarding her sympathetic comments to Russia and other statements she's made....

Former President John F Kennedy’s only grandson Jack Schlossberg has vowed to leave social media “forever” after attacking his cousin RFK Jr., Megyn Kelly, Elon Musk, and more, in a flurry of incoherent posts that left some concerned about his mental health. “I’m sorry to everyone. I Was wrong. I’m deleting all my social media. Forever,” he wrote, before deleting his accounts. Schlossberg—whose mother Caroline Kennedy ripped first cousin RFK Jr. as a “predator” ahead of his confirmation hearing to be Health and Human Services secretary—faced backlash in January for seemingly mocking his cousin’s spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder that...

Now Jack has posted a video to Instagram decrying RFK Jr for spreading falsehoods about the Kennedy assassinations on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Jack is asking Rogan — in a nice way — to correct the mistakes. (snip) Jack, who is overly emotional on a good day, oversteps however, making...

Kennedy’s name will stay on Wisconsin’s presidential election ballot, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday, ending the former independent presidential candidate’s hopes of not competing with former President Donald Trump in the battleground state in November.
