Bret Stephens and Gail Collins discuss the potential appointments of Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Kash Patel in a humorous yet serious debate. Collins expresses concern over R.F.K. Jr.'s influence on public health and Patel's loyalty to Trump as FBI director. Stephens agrees that while all nominees are troubling, R.F.K. Jr.'s background as a conspiracy theorist might pose the most significant threat. They ponder whether any Republican moderates might vote against Kennedy, highlighting the political complexities surrounding these nominations.
Kash Patel as FBI director, with his yes-man tendencies, raises fears of an overly politicized agency, reminiscent of the Warsaw Pact dictatorship.
Bret criticizes R.F.K. Jr. as a legal shakedown artist and medical misinformer who undermines the federal health system, earning the title for worst nominee.
