GOP Senator threatens to shut down Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation hearing

Two protesters erupted in the Senate on Wednesday morning as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced questions about his qualifications to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

The first came just as Kennedy was reading his opening statement, saying that accusations he is anti-vaccine are not true.

"You lie!" a woman from the audience shouted. She was then shoved out of the room by security.

On the second occurrence, chairman, Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) said that if there were any more outbursts, he would stop the hearing. In the past, hearings continued, and protesters were removed.
