House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) faced tough questions Friday on CNN about sick kids in his state that left him struggling to defend President-elect Donald Trump.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked Emmer about Trump's selection of vaccine-denier Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services — and put it in the context of a measles outbreak in his home state of Minnesota.
"We don't see this kind of epidemic of measles in places where there is a vaccine mandate," Tapper said.
