The HHS secretary flailed while attempting to answer questions about Medicare, seniors, and more.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy couldn’t cough up answers when pressed about the Trump administration’s actions that would increase drug prices for seniors, leaving one senator baffled.

While testifying before the Senate Finance Committee Thursday, Kennedy was asked by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto about his support of the carve-outs for high-cost cancer drugs from Medicare price-reduction negotiations in Trump’s behemoth budget bill.

  1. I used to do that when I was getting told off by my dad when I was a kid. I remember when my parents figured out that you couldn’t hit me or take my stuff away to discipline me. What worked was these insane 2 or sometimes even 3 hour talks my dad would have with me at the dinner table about what I did was wrong and why it was wrong. I would beg him just to beat me. They never laid a hand on me again after that.

    I would say things like, “I’m feeling sick, I think I’m going to throw up.” Dad would go get a trash can and a roll of paper towels and tell me to just go in that. Then he would just keep talking.

  6. His relatives are doing backflips in their graves. How can so much suck come from one member of a family that included a millionaire, president, senator and attorney general. To quote from As Good as it Gets – What an absolute horror of a human being.
