Vice President JD Vance blasted senators who clashed with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a heated Senate Finance Committee hearing Thursday, saying they are \u201cfull of s\u2014 and everyone knows it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clash centered on sharp criticism from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who accused Kennedy of endangering children with reckless, conspiracy-driven policies and pursuing what he called a \u201cfundamentally cruel\u201d agenda.<\/p>\n
Kennedy pushed back, citing Wyden\u2019s decades in office during which chronic disease rates have risen to 76%.<\/p>\n
Vance later took to X with a profane defense of Kennedy, a move that stunned political observers and underscored the acrimony surrounding the session.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I see all these senators trying to lecture and \u2018gotcha\u2019 Bobby Kennedy today all I can think is: You all support off-label, untested, and irreversible hormonal \u2018therapies\u2019 for children, mutilating our kids and enriching big pharma,\u201d Vance wrote on the social media platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re full of s\u2014 and everyone knows it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following Vance\u2019s post, RFK Jr. took to the X platform as well to thank him, adding: \u201cYou put your finger squarely on the preimminent problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
