They really can’t help themselves. Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. sat before the House Education and Workforce Committee on Friday to discuss the department’s budget proposal. Simple enough, right? It should have been a dry, numbers-focused hearing about the administration’s proposed 12% cut to HHS spending. Instead, House Democrats turned it into a three-hour ambush. And the crown jewel of the afternoon? A California congressman actually asked Kennedy whether he would invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. Let that sink in. A budget hearing. And they’re asking about removing the sitting President of the United States. Rep. Mark Takano looked Kennedy dead in the eye and asked if he would “insist that Trump undergo an assessment of his mental fitness and emotional stability.” Kennedy didn’t flinch. His answer was two words: “Absolutely not.” He followed up by calling President Trump “very, very sane.” The room erupted. Democrats were not pleased. Conservative commentator Gunther Eagleman captured the exchange perfectly: During a House hearing, Rep. Mark Takano asked HHS Secretary RFK Jr.: “Given everything I’ve shown you today, will you insist that Trump undergo an assessment of his mental fitness and emotional stability?”Kennedy replied firmly: “Absolutely not.”
