CNN ’s Dana Bash challenged a Democratic governor’s reasoning for backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, and she did not hold back. Following RFK Jr.’s health secretary nomination, many questioned his qualifications to lead the department in light of his history of sharing outlandish medical beliefs.

RFK is seen as a controversial choice for Health Secretary, not least because he’s a vaccine sceptic who has also rallied against big pharmaceutical companies, but also because of his attitude to big pharma and medical research.
