'Terrifying': Ex-HHS chief shares 'most frightening' aspect about Trump's nominee

Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius didn’t mince words when it came to her thoughts about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. possibly taking over the position she once held.

“To have someone coming into a scientific agency that is a vaccine skeptic and may well undo decades of public health work I think is terrifying for the American public who rely on HHS from cradle to grave for resources for information for public health for oversight of our food and medicines,” Sebelius said. “And that to me is a very frightening aspect for the American public.”

The dire assessment came Thursday during an interview with CNN’s John Berman who asked her point-blank: “Is Robert Kennedy qualified for this job?"

“Well, I’d say no,” Sebelius, a former Kansas governor, said. “You know he has no organizational management experience and HHS is one of the largest domestic organizations,” she said, adding that the agency has over 83,000 employees and a $1.7 trillion budget as she continued to explain why the Trump loyalist and prominent anti-vaxxer is unqualified to lead the agency.

Sebelius told Berman that she actually took “courtesy meetings” with RFK during her years as Obama's HHS secretary, where he suggested that CDC and FDA evidence about vaccines was "faulty."

“He insisted that I fire people, that they were lying to me, that I really wasn't getting the truth – that did not prove in my mind to be at all true,” she said. Sebelius then revealed what she was “most frightened about.”

“He comes not with a query, not with suggesting that we should look at two different points of view," Sebelius said. "He's made a determination with no scientific background and as far as I can determine no evidence that actually supports his views and he's very willing to assert them as if they are fact – that's very dangerous in an agency where people take the recommendations of the experts and try to follow them to keep themselves and their families safe and secure.”
