'This is hugely important': Key Republican's 'planned attack' puts RFK's job in doubt
Reacting to all the criticism piled on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a combative hearing on Thursday, Politico’s Jonathan Martin focused on a statement read into the record by Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), which could be interpreted to signal Kennedy may soon find himself out of the job.
In a clip shown on "Morning Joe,” the Wyoming conservative, who is also a medical doctor, came armed with written comments critical of Kennedy which Martin claimed should raise eyebrows.
"The biggest news, I thought in those clips you played was the role of John Barrasso,” he stated after MSNBC ran a supercut of Republicans challenging Kennedy.
"This is hugely important,” he continued. “John Barrasso is not just a Trump supporter, certainly, he's the number two ranking Senate Republican. He's the Republican whip and for him to sit up there reading from prepared remarks that was not off the cuff, he knew what he was doing.”
“It was a planned attack to sit and read those remarks from Wyoming, by the way, not exactly the Upper West Side of Manhattan,” he insisted. “I thought was very significant and reflected the profound frustration in the Senate GOP Caucus about Kennedy, and also just about confirming these folks who Trump then fires two weeks later.”
