Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) filed articles of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wednesday, accusing him of abusing the powers of his office and undermining public health, putting Americans’ lives at risk.

He “has got to go,” Stevens said in a video announcing the impeachment articles. In an accompanying press statement, she said Kennedy, who rose to prominence as an ardent anti-vaccine activist, “has turned his back on science, on public health, and on the American people—spreading conspiracies and lies, driving up costs, and putting lives at risk.” She called him the “biggest self-created threat to our health and safety.”

It is very unlikely that an impeachment push will gain traction in the Republican-controlled Congress. No other Democratic lawmakers are backing the articles.

    I pray to God and the baby Jesus that I don’t believe in that he will be stripped of power and removed for any office that allows him to make decisions on policy.

    Or any decisions. At all… Even outside the office. Him mom should lay out his clothing for the day so he doesn’t have to decide anything.

      In any other sane rational country, people like JFK and Laura Loomer would be under psychiatric observation in a hospital, but in the US they are made super rich and given unlimited power. Very very strange country.
