'Best he could come up with': GOP senator-physician mocked for 'remarkable answer'

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)'s response to a new Robert F. Kennedy Jr. scandal resulted in mockery on MSNBC on Sunday.

As Politico recently reported, "the CDC changed its website, walking back assurances that vaccines do not cause autism and upending decades of work by the agency to combat misinformation about vaccines and autism." Cassidy's response to that was, "Life is lived forward."

On MSNBC, host Eugene Daniels mocked the answer by Cassidy, who is a medical doctor.

"Life is lived forward. That isthe best that a senator and adoctor could come up with," he said, teasing that he would start using that line. "I'm living my lifeforward. Nate has a problemwith me. I live my life forward, baby. I can't look in the past."

A second host chimed in, "It's just a remarkableanswer considering whathe said he wanted from RFK Jr.Promises that he would not, youknow, refute vaccine efficacy.And RFK did the opposite.And rather than, you know,taking responsibility for thatvote, he seems... he isn't evenreally pushing back hard on RFK anymore either."
