BERNIE SANDERS: Vaccines do not cause autism. Do you agree?

RFK Jr: As I said, I'm not going into HHS with any preordained--

SANDERS: I asked you a simple question, Bobby

RFK Jr: If you show me those studies ...

SANDERS: That is a very troubling response

RFK Jr hedging on whether he agrees with the science that vaccines cause autism seems to have drawn concerns from Bill Cassidy, key swing vote on Senate Finance

Whitehouse: Here is what this nominee himself has said: We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government, but in the media, we are going to come after you whether it's criminally or civilly.
Is that a correct quotation, Mr. Patel?

Patel: That's a partial quotation.

Whitehouse: But it is correct.

Patel: In part.

WHITEHOUSE: You reposted a video depicting you taking a chainsaw to your political enemies. Is that you reposting that at the top of that page? PATEL: I had nothing to do with the creation of that meme

She’s the only one who ain’t getting through.

RFK is 50/50

under questioning from Warner, Tulsi Gabbard tries to walk back her past effusive praise for Snowden. Warner doesn't buy it.

KLOBUCHAR: Have you referred to the media as the most powerful enemy of the United States?

PATEL: You're reading a quote. I take that you're reading it accurately

K: You said we're gonna come after the people in the media who helped Joe Biden rig the election

PATEL: That's a partial statement of what I said

the Patel hearing gets heated as Klobuchar grills him over his statement that the FBI headquarters should be shut down (Patel is nominee to be FBI director)

Kash Patel is the one Trump nominee I can see not making it. He too stupid and has too much content out there.

Murphy: You equated pedophilia to the administration of vaccines.

RFK JR: It wasn’t—

Murphy: You said it was a perfect metaphor.

Trump: "We do not know what led to this crash but we have some very strong opinions and ideas, and I think we'll probably state those opinions now."

Trump: "When I left office and Biden took over, he changed them back to lower than ever before. I put safety first. Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first. And they put politics at a level that nobody has ever seen, because this was the lowest level. Their policy was horrible and their politics was even worse."

Trump: "I do want to point out that various articles that appeared prior to my entering office. Here's one -- 'the FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.' That is amazing."

Trump is out here trying to blame Black people and women for a plane crash that happened *after* he announced a DEI purge of the FAA

Trump: "'The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigeig' -- a real winner. Do you know how badly everything has run since he's run the Department of Transportation. He's a disaster ... he's got a good line of bullshyt."

He's rambling like a buffoon.
