House Democrat files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr.

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) said on Wednesday she filed articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling him “the biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.”

“RFK Jr. has got to go. Today, I introduced Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and public health and on the American people,” Stevens said in a video statement released on the social platform X.

“Under his watch, families are less safe, health care costs are skyrocketing, and lifesaving research, including right here in Michigan, is being gutted,” she said in the video. “RFK Jr. is the biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.”

“I cannot and I will not stand by while one man dismantles decades of medical progress,” she continued. “Enough is enough, and that is why I’m pushing to impeach RFK Jr., to hold him accountable and to protect the health, safety and future of every Michigander because our health, our science and our future are worth fighting for.”

In late September, Stevens introduced the “Stop RFK’s BS Act,” which would reverse funding cuts Kennedy has overseen.
