The article highlights the recent Senate Finance Committee hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump's nominee for health secretary. He faced intense scrutiny regarding his stance on vaccines and unusual past behaviors, specifically his history of using a blender to prepare food for hawks, as detailed by Caroline Kennedy. Comedians like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel humorously critique the situation, reflecting societal worries about the qualifications of cabinet nominees and the potential absurdities within political appointments, while conveying a sense of disbelief that such matters weren't more thoroughly examined during the hearing.
Stephen Colbert said, If you're alarmed about RFK Jr. becoming our health secretary, there's a good chance you may be a member of his family, referring to Caroline Kennedy's letter and video urging the Senate to reject her cousin's nomination on the grounds that he's unqualified, and a predator.
Jimmy Kimmel quipped, He was putting baby chickens and mice in a blender? And ladies, you thought it was bad when a guy brought you back to his dorm room and busted out a guitar.
Stephen Colbert emphasized, Not one of the 27 senators on the finance committee asked him about it today. Not one! We've reached the point where these cabinet picks are so nutty, the idea that one of them was making Stuart Little smoothies doesn't even come up.
Michael Kosta commented, Basically, if there's an animal corpse anywhere in America, RFK Jr. is probably involved.
