Kamala Harris had a terse reply to Trumpā€™s plan: ā€œNo.ā€

Donald Trump said Thursday that vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be in charge of ā€œwomenā€™s healthā€ if the former president is reelected to the White House.

ā€¦

The comments reflect Kennedyā€™s growing role in a potential administration and his rising standing in the Trump orbit after he dropped his independent bid for the presidency andĀ endorsedĀ his onetime competitor. But calls for a senior position haveĀ troubled health advocates, who point to Kennedyā€™s long history as a skeptic of widely accepted science surrounding vaccines. Those concerns grew this week after the co-chair of the team planning Trumpā€™s potential transition said Kennedy had persuaded him in a 2.5-hour meeting that vaccines caused autism,Ā a widely debunked stance.

The Harris campaign was quick to share footage of Trumpā€™s plans for Kennedy on Thursday, and Harris herself tweeted a short response to her opponentā€™s pledge: ā€œNo.ā€

    This is exactly it. I keep waking up expecting to read that Trump died in his sleep, thatā€™s how unhealthy he looks.

    This is the Vance for President campaign, trump is just the fuel in the car that drives him there.

      I figure they need Trump to also do a bunch of crimes when heā€™s in office before they pull the plug on himā€¦ That way he can blamed whilst they keep all the power.
