How is it possible that you have this job?': RFK Jr.'s incompetence becomes too glaring to overlook

&t=308s

'From his cluelessness about critical cuts made to his agency, to his celebration of dangerous quackery, Robert. F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump's HHS secretary, is distinguishing himself as not only incompetent but dangerously so, leading a department with lives at stake. Rachel Maddow reports.' 11 min.

My words: Caution, your outrage will be difficult to contain.

He’s exploited that to advance him to a level of respect and authority for which he is completely unsuited and unqualified.

Every single person around Trump is working to do the opposite of what they are supposed to be doing.

a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens

Just like how nothing is stable when the stable genius is in charge.

Remember the Death Panel nonsense when the ACA was passed?

The Death Panels are now a frigging reality.
