Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was asked about his former running mate Nicole Shanahan’s claims that someone is “controlling his decisions,” and that she did not mean President Donald Trump, during an interview on Fox News on Thursday.
Shanahan made the stunning claims in response to President Donald Trump’s nomination of Casey Means as surgeon general on Wednesday.
“It’s very strange. Doesn’t make any sense. I was promised that if I supported RFK Jr. in his Senate confirmation that neither of these siblings would be working under HHS or in an appointment (and that people much more qualified would be),” Shanahan wrote.
The post continued, “I don’t know if RFK very clearly lied to me, or what is going on. It has been clear in recent conversations that he is reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions (and it isn’t President Trump). With regards to the siblings, there is something very artificial and aggressive about them, almost like they were bred and raised Manchurian assets.”
In addition to being his running mate during the presidential election, Shanahan has also been a vocal supporter of Kennedy’s work at HHS, even threatening to fund primary challenges against those who opposed his confirmation.
