RFK Jr critic, Democrat congresswoman Haley formally moves to impeach Health secretary

Michigan Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens said Thursday she is drafting documents to try to impeach Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – after months of criticism and vows to oust him for myriad issues.

"RFK Jr. is making our country less safe and making health care less affordable and accessible for Michiganders," Stevens told Fox News in announcing she is drafting articles of impeachment. "His contempt for science, the constant spreading of conspiracy theories, and his complete disregard for the thousands of research hours spent by America’s top doctors and experts are unprecedented, reckless, and dangerous."

Stevens likely faces long odds in her effort to impeach Kennedy, considering Republicans control Congress, and he is appointed by GOP President Donald Trump. 

"Enough is enough — we need leaders who put science over chaos, facts over lies, and people over politics, which is why I am announcing today that I have begun drafting articles of impeachment against Secretary Kennedy," Stevens continued. 

Steven, a known critic of Kennedy, also cited funding cuts for cancer research and combating addiction, what she considers the rising cost of healthcare and him spreading "conspiracies."

The impeachment threat also comes after Kennedy fired former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez last month – about 30 days into her term. Kennedy said he fired Monarez because she admitted to being untrustworthy. A slew of other top CDC officials also resigned last month after Monarez's dismissal.

Stevens also accused Kennedy of lying to Congress in his Senate confirmation hearing because he allegedly vowed not to break up the CDC's vaccine advisory panel. Kennedy fired the panel's former advisers and replaced them with his own experts.

The move also comes after HHS released a few suggestions to curb a rise in autism, such as removing mercury from vaccines and advising women not to take Tylenol while pregnant.  

An HHS spokesperson said Kennedy is focused on "improving Americans’ health and lowering costs, not on partisan political stunts."
