"Hey, Chris. I feel like you and I watch, I don't even know, hundreds of different hearings between the two of us, probably. And today, sometimes you watch them today was one of these examples where you were like, does this guy know the microphone is on? And, like, all of us out here can hear him? And these things are easy to check if he's stating facts?"
"HAYES: You know, this is the thing that was so striking to me about the hearing was, even people that are at a certain level, there is a kind of deference they have when they're in that room, like to the institution, to this space, Bobby's got none of it. PSAKI: None. HAYES: It's just like, I don't like the total smug, glib, I don't need you people, was pretty shocking. It's a high bar for that and he really crossed,"
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as HHS Secretary, faced several hours of questioning at a Senate Finance Committee hearing where senators from both parties pressed him on fringe medical opinions and the policies they informed. He remained defiant and combative throughout, offering glib, smug responses and showing little deference to institutional norms. His demeanor appeared performative and directed toward President Donald Trump, suggesting a codependent political dynamic. The hearing raised concerns about credibility, fact-checking, and the influence of controversial medical views on agency decision-making and policy direction.
