Trump’s Cabinet Picks Have Made Republican Senators Look Like Chumps

By Ross Rosenfeld

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it,” Upton Sinclair once wrote. Perhaps this explains why so many Republican senators, during confirmation hearings earlier this year, eagerly swallowed the lies and distortions of President Trump’s nominees for Cabinet and other high-level posts. But only now are we seeing just how badly they were played for suckers by the likes of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, and others.

 

Perhaps no one proved more gullible than Susan Collins of Maine, who fancies herself a “problem solver who seeks common-sense solutions.” In a hearing in late January, she pressed Kennedy, whom Trump had nominated to run Health and Human Services, about whether he’d limit access to vaccines or impede research at the National Institutes of Health. Collins reminded RFK of his quote boasting that he would “give infectious disease a break for about eight years,” and expressed concern that we could lose herd immunity among children if parents are discouraged from getting them vaccinated.

 

“We need good science, and I’m going to bring that in,” Kennedy said. “I’m going to restore trust, and that will restore vaccine uptake.”
