Dem Rep. Robert Garcia says RFK Jr. nomination for health secretary is 'f------ insane,' will 'cost lives'

Some lawmakers and public health leaders decried the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for health secretary by President-elect Trump. 

U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., called the choice "f------ insane."

"The RFK as Health Secretary appointment is f------ insane," he wrote on X. "He’s a vaccine denier and a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist. He will destroy our public health infrastructure and our vaccine distribution systems. This is going to cost lives."

Garcia's office was not immediately available for comment.
