Megyn Kelly Reveals Why ‘The Democrats Made Fools Out of Themselves’ in RFK Jr Hearing [WATCH]

SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly criticized Democratic senators Wednesday for their behavior during the Senate Finance Committee hearing for Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

On her show, The Megyn Kelly Show, she accused the lawmakers of failing to understand the concerns of Kennedy’s supporters and instead resorting to attacks that did not resonate with the American public.

Kennedy appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday morning to address key healthcare issues, but tensions quickly escalated as Democratic senators aggressively questioned him.

Some raised their voices during their exchanges with Kennedy, prompting a sharp response from Kelly.

“His opponents didn’t get it. Even some of the Republicans didn’t get it. But for the most part, they did well, the Republican senators. A couple, which I’ll go over, were annoying,” Kelly said.

“But the Democrats once again made fools out of themselves. They made fools out of themselves. In the same way they keep looking at Trump and saying, ‘Hitler, Nazi, fascist, convicted felon.’ And everybody’s like, ‘Screw you, we have a country to save.’ That’s how I felt today watching them go after RFK [Jr.].”

Kelly pointed out that the audience at the hearing included many parents, some accompanied by their infants, who were there to express their concerns about public health policies.

“They don’t get it. That audience was filled with parents, moms with infants, with little kids with them, trying to send a message to these senators. They’re done playing these ridiculous games. Half these senators are on the take with Big Pharma, or Big Ag for that matter, and doing Big Pharma’s bidding live in the hearing. They don’t want RFK J[r.]. They don’t want somebody who’s been suing Big Pharma his entire career,” Kelly added.

“That’s who pays their re-election bills. It was very obvious as you watch them today.”

During the hearing, Kennedy engaged in a heated exchange with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) after she accused him of attempting to profit from efforts to restrict vaccines.

Warren pressed Kennedy on whether he would accept financial gains from lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies.

While Kennedy assured her that he would not accept profit during his tenure as HHS secretary if confirmed, he did not commit to forgoing such earnings after leaving the position.

Warren used this as an opportunity to criticize Kennedy, escalating tensions during the hearing.

Kelly took particular issue with the way Democratic senators focused their attacks on Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, rather than addressing his broader policy positions.

“But they, man, are obsessed with his stance on vaccines. Obsessed. And, like, either unwilling or unable to see what he really feels about them. I mean, look, he’s not a huge proponent. I think that’s fair. But they just want to paint him as somebody who wants to ban all vaccines,” Kelly said.

She argued that Kennedy’s actual stance was misrepresented by his critics.

“He doesn’t talk about banning at all,” Kelly added.

“He’s very against vaccine mandates. In some cases, he wants more research being done before we push these vaccines on kids and has joined as a lawyer in some lawsuits against the manufacturers.”

Kennedy has repeatedly stated that he does not intend to remove vaccines from the market.

In a November interview with NBC News, he clarified that if confirmed as HHS secretary, he would not take away vaccines but instead advocate for individual choice regarding medical decisions.

During his confirmation hearing, Kennedy reiterated his support for vaccines, stating that they “play a critical role in healthcare.”

Despite his repeated assurances, Senate Democrats continued to focus on his history of questioning vaccine safety, using it as a key point of attack during the hearing.

Kennedy’s nomination has drawn strong reactions from both sides of the aisle, with Republicans largely supporting his emphasis on medical freedom and accountability for pharmaceutical companies, while Democrats have sought to cast doubt on his positions.

Kelly’s remarks reflect broader frustration among conservatives who view Democratic opposition to Kennedy as politically motivated rather than substantive.

The confirmation process will continue as senators weigh Kennedy’s qualifications and policy positions.
