Finally: Rep. Haley Stevens Files Articles Of Impeachment For RFK Jr.

from the on-the-record dept

We’ve clearly performed a ton of protection on RFK Jr. as the pinnacle of Well being and Human Companies as a result of, properly, he’s an unmitigated catastrophe. Between all of the chaos he’s created together with his hiring/firing practices at HHS and its little one companies, the mass exodus of expertise from these companies, and all of the anti-vaxx bullshit he’s pulled with ACIP, the CDC, and company websites, he’s a damned downside and never almost sufficient of our Congress individuals appear prepared to do something about it. And that’s not even entering into the continuing measles and pertussis outbreaks which can be occurring in a number of states as we converse.

In a lot of our posts on Kennedy, we’ve begged for somebody to do one thing about all of this. A type of potential issues that might be performed is to no less than attempt to impeach this brain-wormed assclown. And now, lastly, somebody did. Rep. Haley Stevens of Mighigan introduced articles of impeachment this week.

“RFK Jr. has received to go. Right this moment, I launched articles of impeachment to take away him from workplace. RFK Jr. has turned his again on science and public well being and on the American individuals,” Stevens stated in a video statement launched on the social platform X. “Beneath his watch, households are much less protected, well being care prices are skyrocketing, and lifesaving analysis — together with proper right here in Michigan — is being gutted,” she stated within the video.

“I can’t and I cannot stand by whereas one man dismantles a long time of medical progress,” she continued. “Sufficient is sufficient, and that’s the reason I’m pushing to question RFK Jr., to carry him accountable and to guard the well being, security and future of each Michigander as a result of our well being, our science and our future are price preventing for.”

Now, let me put together you for what you’re about to listen to. Stevens, as talked about, is campaigning for a Senate seat in her state. Up to now, polling suggests it’s not going all that well, with Stevens trailing Republican Mike Rogers by a number of factors, although she has been closing the hole just lately. What you’re going to listen to about this, from Republicans and a few Democrats, is that this impeachment effort is a stunt to boost Stevens’ profile within the race to get extra title recognition and construct turnout amongst Democrats.

Let me make this as clear as I presumably can: even when that’s true, I don’t fucking care. If that’s what it takes to no less than try to oust Kennedy from his function, so be it. However I additionally do not assume that’s what Stevens is doing, given her bigger observe document on Kennedy.

Stevens has repeatedly referred to as for Kennedy’s elimination from his function since he turned HHS secretary and said in September she supposed to file impeachment articles towards him over the “heath care chaos” beneath his watch. The measure will not be more likely to go in a Republicans-controlled Congress.

We’ll simply should see about that final bit. It’s in all probability right that Republicans received’t go towards Pricey Chief and do the proper factor, however they need to be placed on the document as such. Vote towards impeachment if you want. Make your self a accountable occasion to all the horrors Kennedy has, is, and can go to upon Individuals’ well being. The deaths from measles. The Hep B infections in newborns, together with the long-tail well being results of these infections, together with deaths. Declining vaccination charges as a result of misinformation vomited from Kennedy and his hand-picked cadre of cronies. A vote towards impeaching Kennedy will function cosigning all the above. All of it.

Bill Cassidy may actually assist right here, if he desires to cease being a partisan for ten minutes and put his physician’s coat again on. Cassidy was a vital vote in Kennedy’s affirmation to HHS, in addition to being one thing of a silent whip for different Republican votes that had been uncertain on voting for Kennedy’s affirmation. He can likewise now serve the alternative objective. He can come out in favor of Stevens’ articles of impeachment, whip Republican votes for it, and start to undo the hurt that he helped create by the affirmation course of. He’s spilled loads of phrases worrying out loud about what Kennedy is doing. Now let him again it up.

Both means, get everybody on the document. Are you okay with Kennedy’s dismantling of a long time of progress made on varied issues of well being, or are you not? That’s what an impeachment vote can be asking.
