Haley Stevens Interview with Ryan Ermanni about Impeaching RFK Jr.
“But we know that Michiganders, the American people, have been shut out. That there has been very little accountability, health care cuts, attacks on scientific research, ballooning cases, outbreaks of measles and other diseases that we thought we have come close to eradicating, and so I had to take the five minutes, the five minutes that I got, for accountability and to showcase that we have to have scientific integrity. We have to follow the scientific method. Instead, we are getting conspiracy theories and a self-serving agenda, you know. It was met with a pompous response, which was deeply frustrating. And people in Michigan need to know who's fighting for them, and that's me. I'm fighting for them every single day because their health care, their lives are on the line due to these conspiracy theories that are running a multi-billion dollar health agency here in the United States of America.”
“But what we have seen this entire administration, and particularly under RFK Jr.'s leadership, has been abuses of power at the expense of Michiganders health and safety. It is an outrage. Look, RFK Jr. might not have to respond to families who are in tears, who are being pushed to a breaking point because of cuts to clinical trials, to cancer research. He might not have to answer to Michiganders who are working on pediatric cancer research, but I am doing that, and so of course, you know, I'm going to use, you know, the will and the exercising of our democracy in a congressional hearing to push for accountability.”
“Well, what we've seen is a total disregard for science, a total disregard for generations of vaccine research, of disease research, of epidemiology, firing an entire vaccine panel to put in his hand picked people. That's not working for the people of Michigan. I've got young parents who have newborns and young children, and they are frightened. They are frustrated. I have Republican doctors coming up to me and thanking me for leading the effort to take on the Impeachment of RFK Jr. I don't do so lightly, all right, but when I see things that I have been a part of, that I oversee in the Congress, and as a defender of Michiganders health and safety. We can't allow quackery to Trump science. If you got questions, if you want better scientific research, then do it with scientific research, not conspiracy theory. And that's what we're getting from RFK Jr., and unfortunately, the President of the United States.”
