WASHINGTON, DC – Senate Republicans rejected Senator Angela Alsobrooks’ (D-Md.) Resolution of Disapproval of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Senator Alsobrooks took to the Senate Floor tonight to ask for Unanimous Consent and urge her Republican colleagues to take action against the dangerous actions of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Her resolution states that the Senate and the American people have no confidence in Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“The eyes of the world are on us. Most look to us to lead. Some look for us to stumble. But they’re watching to see what we do. Having Secretary Kennedy as the face of our nation’s health and research operation sends a terrible message to the rest of the world, and a terrifying one to the American people. He’s in over his head. He cannot do the job. And he needs to step down for the health of our nation. And to my colleagues—we took an oath as well. We have a duty. A duty to do what is right. And we know RFK Jr. is not right for America,” said Senator Alsobrooks.
