"CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins dropped a brutal video receipt on Trump Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confident declaration at a trainwreck congressional hearing. Kennedy spent several hours being bombarded with questions from both sides of the aisle at a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday. The HHS secretary was defiant and combative throughout the hearing as senators grilled him about his fringe medical opinions and the policy decisions they have driven."
"On Thursday night's edition of CNN's The Source with Kaitlan Collins, the anchor interviewed Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) about her confrontation with RFK Jr. over his fake link between mass shootings and antidepressants, which Kennedy denied making. Collins took that opportunity to play a Fox News clip in which Kennedy made that suggestion: SMITH: I've been so offended by the way that he has dangled out there, this fake link between antidepressants and school"
"SMITH: Just last week, in the days after the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, in my home state of Minnesota, you went on Fox News, blaming school shootings, on antidepressants. KENNEDY JR.: No. SMITH: You have no evidence of that, because you have no evidence of a connection. And you want to talk about KENNEDY JR.: I don't know you're just saying something. You're just making stuff up. SMITH: You know,"
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as HHS Secretary, endured hours of combative questioning before the Senate Finance Committee about his fringe medical opinions and resultant policies. Senators from both parties pressed him on evidence and the implications of his statements. Senator Tina Smith confronted Kennedy over remarks linking antidepressants to mass shootings, which Kennedy publicly denied. CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins played a Fox News clip showing Kennedy making that suggestion, illustrating the discrepancy between his denials and prior comments. The exchange highlighted tensions over misinformation, accountability for public officials, and concern following a recent tragic school shooting in Minnesota.
