Rep. Haley Stevens to introduce impeachment articles against RFK Jr.
U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Rochester Democrat announced those plans Thursday, saying the impeachment effort is in response to RFK Jr.’s “ongoing efforts to jeopardize public health, increase the cost of healthcare, and cut critical medical research.”
Stevens alleged RFK Jr. violated his oath of office and has 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.
“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, which is why I am announcing today that I have begun drafting articles of impeachment against Secretary Kennedy.”
Earlier this month, Stevens called on RFK Jr. to resign for largely the same reasons as her impeachment effort.
Stevens’ impeachment announcement comes after a new conference earlier this week where Trump, alongside RFK Jr., declared a supposed link between autism and acetaminophen. The most well-known brand of acetaminophen, an over-the-counter pain relief and fever-reducing medication, is Tylenol.
