President Trump called Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) a “bitter guy” after the Republican voted against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS secretary. Trump also appeared to cast doubt on McConnell’s childhood polio battle, saying he has “no idea if he had polio.”
McConnell was the only GOP senator who didn’t vote for Kennedy, saying in a statement on Thursday that the longtime environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist had a record of “trafficking in dangerous conspiracy theories and eroding trust in public institutions.”
“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,” McConnell said.
