MI congresswoman to introduce articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary RFK Jr.
A Michigan congresswoman announced Thursday she would file articles of impeachment against U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Birmingham Democrat Haley Stevens, representing the state's 11th Congressional District northwest of Detroit, argued that Kennedy has violated his oath of office and "proven himself unfit to serve the American people."
“RFK Jr. is making our country less safe and making healthcare less affordable and accessible for Michiganders," Stevens said in a statement announcing her intention.
"His contempt for science, the constant spreading of conspiracy theories, and his complete disregard for the thousands of research hours spent by America’s top doctors and experts is unprecedented, reckless, and dangerous."
Her office alleged the secretary has engaged in efforts to jeopardize public health, increase the cost of healthcare and cut critical medical research.
Stevens also accused him of not keeping promises made during his confirmation hearing, and failing to carry out statutory HHS duties.
Stevens had recently called for Kennedy's resignation, following deep controversy under HHS's umbrella.
