One of the most embarrassing members of Congress got completely schooled by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after she tried to blame him for the spread of measles across the country.
As TGP readers know, the corporate media has trumpeted the number of measles cases spreading across America to smear the Trump Administration, particularly RFK Jr.
These hacks see the rise of this infamous childhood disease as an opportunity to discredit the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda and create a new so-called scandal within the Trump Administration.
There are currently about 1,100 cases of the highly contagious disease in America, mostly from unvaccinated individuals who likely arrived in America illegally. But purple-haired Rep. Rosa DeLauro took the opportunity to smear RFK Jr. during a hearing before the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee’s health subcommittee.
“Measles, a disease eliminated in the United States just decades ago, has now claimed the lives of three Americans, including two children who died needlessly, and over 1,000 are confirmed to have contracted the disease,” said DeLauro in a transcript obtained by Reuters.
“All while you peddle unfounded and dangerous vaccine skepticism, spread lies and misinformation about people living with autism,” she added.
This is a lie, of course. RFK, Jr. has indeed told Americans that they should vaccinate their children against the measles and has long said he is okay with vaccines in general as long as they are safe.
The HHS Secretary was rightfully angry over the disgusting smear blaming him for the outbreak, when he has no control over (the states largely manage childhood vaccinations). Moreover, DeLauro left out a series of inconvenient truths, which RFK Jr. was more than happy to share.
“Let me address your first issue because I want to correct you. We have about 1,100 measles cases in this country,” RFK Jr. began. The growth rate last year was 15 additional, so we have plateaued.”
RFK Jr. then dropped some more damning facts that may surprise Americans. Europe and Canada have far more cases of measles, while Mexico has fewer than the United States.
Moreover, cases in Mexico are rising fairly rapidly.
“Mexico has roughly the same number (of cases) with a third of our population, and they got 300 extra cases last week,” RFK Jr. explained. “Canada has more measles, 1,500. They have one eighth of our population.”
“Western Europe has about 6,000 cases, which is 10 times the number that we have. You are wrong about what you said earlier.”
WATCH:
‘YOU ARE WRONG!’: HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just PUMMELED the false claims made by colored hair Representative Rosa DeLauro on America’s measles cases.
She is fearmongering. RFK isn’t putting up with it. He brought numbers.
