Kerry Kennedy did n’t hold back during her late coming into court on CNN .
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sisterKerry Kennedyslammed several baseless conspiracy theories her brother has spread during his tenure as health and human services secretary, saying he’s not fit for the job.
“I love Bobby and I find him incredibly charismatic.But I have said — and my other family membershave been super clear about this — that we disagree again and again and again on the things that he’s said,” she told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday’s episode ofOutFront.

Kerry Kennedy’s response came after Burnett featured a clip from Sunday’s episode ofJohn Oliver’sLast Week Tonight,where the comedian digs into Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his scandals. Oliver’s commentary on the health secretary has since gone viral as he states, “RFK in this job is dangerous.”
The comedian added, “He’s currently spreading dangerous nonsense and gutting life-saving research, all while bringing in a basement quack.”
“These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted,” Kennedy said last week while pledging to find the cause of autism spectrum disorder by September.
Oliver raised alarm bells at themassive layoff within the Department of Health and Human Services.A top official within the National Institutes of Health has resignedunder the current leadership, citing censorship.
“RFK needs to go, and by impeachment if necessary,” Oliver said. “Too much damage has already been done. This is a man who is clearly in way over hisworm-riddled head.”
Burnett asked Kerry Kennedy on Monday if she agrees with Oliver’s remarks, to which she responded, “I think he is not an appropriate HHS secretary.”
Kerry Kennedy then listed the misinformed theories her brother has promoted, including vaccine skepticism, HIV not being the cause of AIDS and that people are transgender because of water pollution.
“This is insanity. Just look at the science,” she said. “This goes on and on and on. I love my brother. I think he’s dead wrong.”
