Michigan Democrat moves to impeach HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr.

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has received scorn from other members of his Democrat-leaning family for serving in President Donald Trump's administration.

Those family members were likely left cheering after one congresswoman aimed to rock the Trump administration by announcing her bid to impeach Kennedy. 

Stevens takes aim

According to Just the News, Michigan Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens announced plans to go after Kennedy during an interview with Fox News on Thursday.

"RFK Jr. is making our country less safe and making health care less affordable and accessible for Michiganders," Stevens told the network.

"His contempt for science, the constant spreading of conspiracy theories, and his complete disregard for the thousands of research hours spent by America’s top doctors and experts are unprecedented, reckless, and dangerous," she alleged.

"Enough is enough -- we need leaders who put science over chaos, facts over lies, and people over politics, which is why I am announcing today that I have begun drafting articles of impeachment against Secretary Kennedy," the lawmaker went on to claim.

Impeachment effort unlikey to succeed

Stevens echoed those sentiments in a social media post, writing, "Health care chaos. Reckless cuts. Rising costs. Michiganders and families across the country are paying the price for RFK Jr.’s agenda."

"Enough is enough, which is why I’m drafting articles of impeachment against [Sec. Kennedy]," the Democrat lawmaker asserted. 

However, Just the News pointed out that Stevens' effort to remove Kennedy from office appears doomed, as both the House of Representatives and Senate are currently controlled by Republicans.

Controversies persist

Steven's impeachment push isn't the only reason why Kennedy has made headlines of late, as Just the News also noted that he faced controversy over last month's firing of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Susan Monarez.

Monarez alleged in an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal that Kennedy got rid of her for refusing to rubber-stamp recommendations from Kennedy's advisors.

The HHS secretary disputed that contention while testifying on Capitol Hill, telling lawmakers that he let Monarez go after the CDC director admitted to being untrustworthy.

"I told her she had to resign because I asked her, 'Are you a trustworthy person?’ and she said 'No,'" Kennedy asserted.

" A free people [claim] their rights, as derived from the laws of nature."
