"Auchincloss said it was disappointing that Cassidy was the deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr who is launching an anti-vax crusade. Buddy, you and I are on the Health Subcommittee in Congress. We have to do oversight and investigations before more kids get these preventable infectious diseases, Auchincloss said to Carter, who agreed. So, do you agree that RFK Jr. should resign? Auchincloss asked."
"Well, first of all, I don't think you should ever go against the president and vote for impeachment if you're going to plan on running, and running for reelection, Carter said. Secondly, this is just another example Donald Trump is going to try to to get rid of anyone who is not helping him with his agenda. It's Donald Trump's party, as you just heard from my colleague from Georgia even an insurrection is apparently, to the Republican party, not cause for impeachment, Auchincloss said."
"Carter argued. Doing his job, even though measles is spreading throughout the country right now? No, no, no! Measles is not spreading throughout the country right now, Carter said. We are going to he's going to get it under control. This is something that we've got."
"Cassidy ran afoul of Trump when he voted to convict in the president's second impeachment trial over the J6 insurrection. Cassidy, a medical doctor, also voted to confirm RFK Jr as HHS secretary after receiving assurances the childhood vaccine schedule would remain in tact."
Rep. Jake Auchincloss and Rep. Buddy Carter debated Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine policies and measles outbreaks. Auchincloss criticized Cassidy’s role in confirming RFK Jr., saying the confirmation enabled an anti-vaccine agenda and that oversight is needed to prevent preventable infectious diseases. He linked Cassidy’s primary loss to President Donald Trump’s endorsement dynamics and argued that opposing Trump and voting for impeachment carried political consequences. Carter rejected calls for RFK Jr. to resign, saying he is doing his job and that measles is not spreading nationwide, asserting that control measures will address the issue.
