Michigan U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens plans effort to impeach RFK Jr.

U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens will introduce articles of impeachment against Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Michigan congresswoman announced Thursday.

"RFK Jr. is making our country less safe and making healthcare less affordable and accessible for Michiganders," Stevens, D-Birmingham, said in a statement.

Stevens is seeking to put pressure on the nation's controversial health chief.

“Secretary Kennedy has violated his oath of office and proven himself unfit to serve the American people. Congress must act to hold him accountable, and I intend to lead the charge to remove him from office,” Stevens said.

"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. Enough is enough — we need leaders who put science over chaos, facts over lies, and people over politics."

Stevens…had been especially critical of Kennedy in recent weeks. She called on him to resign on Sept. 15 and held a press conference on Sept. 10 with Dr. John Prensner, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan, to highlight threats to pediatric cancer research.

“In the past nine months since the Trump administration took office, I’ve seen a weakening in our nation’s commitment to childhood cancer that I never thought was possible," Prensner said in a statement.
