GOP Congressman Wants To Talk With RFK Jr. About How ‘Marijuana Is Harmful’ As Trump’s Cabinet Pick Heads To Confirmation Vote

A GOP congressman says it’s “definitely” time to have a talk with President Donald Trump’s pick for head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to convince him that “marijuana is harmful” and that the way to make Americans healthy is by “limiting” its use.

After Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was cleared in an initial confirmation vote in the Senate Finance Committee, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) told Marijuana Moment that he wanted to have a chat with the potential HHS secretary, who has previously voiced support for cannabis legalization prior to being selected for the top federal health role by Trump.

“Marijuana is harmful,” Harris said in an interview at the Capitol on Wednesday. “We should definitely have a talk with RFK Jr. I mean, the bottom line is: We should keep Americans healthy by limiting the use of marijuana.”

But Harris—a staunchly anti-cannabis lawmaker who has championed legislation to block adult-use marijuana sales in Washington, D.C.—expressed a softer tone when asked about the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, which is another issue that Kennedy has pushed.

The congressman said it “might be possible” that psychedelics could be used in the treatment of conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“We may want to do some more research, but we don’t want to do what D.C. did, which is just make them widely available,” he said, referencing a voter-approved initiative to decriminalize certain psychedelics—which would not inherently increase availability given the lack of any regulated sales component of the reform.

Meanwhile, despite Harris’s apparent concerns about Kennedy’s history of advocating for cannabis legalization, the nominee said last week that he will defer to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on marijuana rescheduling if confirmed.

That could complicate rescheduling given the fact that the current acting administrator of DEA, Derek Maltz, has made multiple comments expressing hostility to cannabis reform.

Relatedly, prior to Kennedy’s written responses to the Finance Committee, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) recently pressed Kennedy to reiterate his position on marijuana legalization amid the ongoing effort to federally reschedule cannabis.

Great take from “Doorway to Freedom” – the ongoing whitewashing of C19 by ALL Senators at Bobby Kennedy’s Senate confirmation hearings and the plight of small farmers – amongst many other topics

From here:

Goal for the 1st quater of 2025 – improve conditions for small farmers and ranchers | DOOR TO FREEDOM

This caught my eye:

“What was truly remarkable was that no one talked about COVID or COVID vaccines, masks or lockdowns. No member of either party. It was as if all had tacitly agreed to memory-hole this very significant part of our recent history.”

Never a truer word(s).

Politicians globally are content to see out their terms of office ad be replaced, rather than investigate the butchery and maiming resulting from the roll-out of EXPERIMENTAL gene-altering injections that FAILED abysmally.

The crimes against humanity committed by health regulators, enforced by politicians and their cheer leaders in the MSM news cartels are being swept under the carpet – as the C19 psy-op winds down – and the next psy-op is lined up.

Also surprising was the absence of questions about “Disease X” and plans for pandemic preparedness that Biden and his cronies were desperate to sign via the WHO treaties and international health regulations.

The headline of the Door to Freedom article referred to the plight of US farmers,

Compare and contrast that to the attitude of EU and UK “anti-human” politicians that want to decimate farmland in the name of “net zero”,

The UK government plans to replace 10 per cent of prime UK farmland with solar panels and wind turbines in a move to reduce food security and increase energy prices that are already the most expensive in Europe. Other EU countries are on the same path to ruin,

Which Senators Are Owned By Big Pharma? RFK Jr.’s Confirmation Hearings Are Showing Us

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation hearings for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) have seen some of some of the harshest questioning of any of President Trump’s cabinet nominees by D.C. hardliners.

One upside to the acrimony is that Kennedy’s harshest critics and defenders of the status quo are now being publicly revealed as the lawmakers to whom the pharmaceutical industry has donated the most money.

The hostility @RobertKennedyJr experienced at his hearing was directly proportional to how much Pharma money each Senator received. In fact, each of them simply repeated the same attacks we just saw flood the mass media (all of which were blatant lies). 🧵 pic.twitter.com/ND7jqU4B1F— A Midwestern Doctor (@MidwesternDoc) January 30, 2025

Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is the largest recipient of money from Big Pharma, asked Kennedy if healthcare was a human right and then refused to let the HHS nominee answer his question with anything other than a “yes” or “no” answer.

Sanders would not let Kennedy differentiate between unalienable rights like free speech and man-made “rights” that create ever-increasing obligations to the government.

RFK just gave a flawless answer to Bernie Sanders asking if health care is a human right.

Bet Sanders didn’t expect an answer this intelligent… he interrupted RFK IMMEDIATELY.

SANDERS: Is it a human right? Yes or no?

RFK: In the way that free speech is? It’s different,… pic.twitter.com/JR9UpdAB0A— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) January 29, 2025

Sen. Sanders has been the recipient of nearly $2 million in donations from pharmaceutical companies.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) showed herself to be one of Kennedy’s most strident detractors and was, by far, the angriest of the lawmakers questioning him during yesterday’s confirmation hearing.

Sen. Warren accused Kennedy of wanting to sue vaccine manufacturers whose vaccines cause harm as a means of personally enriching himself and warned that holding Big Pharma accountable for any harm caused could bankrupt the industry.

Kennedy responded, “Senator, you’re asking me not to sue pharmaceutical companies,” to which Warren became enraged shouting, “No, I’m not!”

Corrupt Democrats Paid by Big Pharma Trying to Block Robert F. Kennedy’s Appointment

Corrupt Democrats Paid by Big Pharma Trying to Block Robert F. Kennedy’s Appointment

As I said, it is a fight to the death.

Years ago I thought Elizabeth Warren would be a good senator who would stand up for the people against the financial sector.  But I was wrong. Warren turned out to be just another unhinged Democrat.  Indeed, are there any Democrats who are not unhinged? 

Commentators are saying that the behavior of Democrats at Robert F. Kennedy’s confirmation hearing as Secretary of Health and Human Services was disgraceful.  Certainly it was.  But what it really demonstrates is what total shills Democrats are for Big Pharma.  

Warren’s outrage against Kennedy is explained by her annual payment of $821,941 in campaign contributions from Big Pharma whose vaccines have done extraordinary damage to people’s health.  Warren is the second highest paid Big Pharma senator after Bernie Sanders $1,417,811.

It is beyond question that the FDA, CDC, and NIH are revolving doors for Big Pharma.  Officials of these “regulatory” agencies give the go-ahead for dangerous drugs and vaccines such as the Covid vax.  Big Pharma makes billions of dollars killing people and destroying their health, and for their reward the “regulatory” officials are provided with million dollar jobs with Big Pharma.  The senate goes along with this for massive campaign contributions. This is just the beginning of the story.  Big Pharma’s research grants control medical school curriculums and the contents of medical journals.  Medical boards are also in Big Pharma’s pocket, and the corrupt boards yank the medical licenses of doctors who bring to light Big Pharma’s dangerous products.  It seems that the bulk of American mothers are brainwashed into believing their children will die unless vaccinated endlessly.  To their weak minds, “anti-vax” is a form of child abuse.

RFK Hearings – Why Are Politicians So Afraid of Transparency

Faith in anything related to public health is rightly at an all-time low and despite the incredible mandate that the election provided to MAHA, most Democrats and a handful of RINOs are dead set against the transparency Bobby has promised to provide. This is a man who has vaxxed his kids and promised not to ban anything. He’s not a radical. He’s promoting overall health and very sensible policies. He’s a lawyer and simply want’s people to have the evidence necessary to make good decisions. So why is a call for transparency such a threat? After all, who hides things unless there is something to hide?

Tom Renz’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The answer is honestly similar across the board – money or political realities. Big pharma largely owns Congress (both parties) but the political reality of Trump embracing MAHA forces the hands of many. Despite this, there are a number of absolute RINOs and big pharma sellouts (I’m looking at you Elizabeth Warren, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell) but I’m not wasting space on them in this article. Instead, I want to talk about a few people we hope we can help to see truth.

RFK Jr Truth Bombs

As reported earlier, RFK Jr was grilled today at a confirmation hearing for his nomination to head up HHS. While that first report showed how RFK Jr is correct about the “overspending/underperforming” problem specific to US health care, this one focuses on his claim that infectious disease pales in comparison to chronic disease.

A JAMA report shows that, while infectious disease death (red) has come way down, chronic disease death (blue) remains high…

While in 1900 they were similar in importance, chronic disease is now over 10 times more important than infectious disease, but you’d never know it based on the respective proportion of health care dollars spent on each — i.e., too much is being spent on infectious disease. It is true for all age groups…

Will Fauci’s COVID-19 e-Mails Be Disclosed per RFK Jr.’s Call for Radical HHS Transparency?

Throughout today’s Senate confirmation hearings for Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS), RFK Jr. called for radical transparency from the department of HHS, this includes the NIH, CDC, FDA, and the NIAID (the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease). Dr. Anthony Fauci was the former Director of the NIAID for 39 years, from 1984 to 2022.

Senator Johnson Expresses Frustration in Receiving 50-Pages of Fauci’s e-Mails as Blank Pages or Mostly Redacted

Senator Ron Johnson stated that he has written over 70 oversight letters to the Biden administration requesting copies of HHS communications around COVID-19 (including Fauci’s emails) and the COVID-19 injections. PLUS, Senator Johnson subpoenaed HHS for the myocarditis data of American adults and children who received the COVID-19 injections. In response, Senator and received heavily redacted or blank documents in response.

Senator Johnson Calls for Transparency from HHS Departments

Senator Johnson: “Will you honor these requests from Congress and will make HHS transparent?”

Robert F. Kennedy: “Yes. My approach to HHS, as I’ve said before Senator, is radical transparency. Democrats and republicans ought to be able to get information that was generated by taxpayer expense, that is owned by the American taxpayer. They shouldn’t get redacted documents. Public agencies should be transparent.”

RFK Jr.’s Confirmation Hearings Spotlight the Vaccine Safety Debate

This week, all eyes turn to Capitol Hill as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces confirmation hearings to lead an independent agency overseeing environmental and public health regulations. Known for his “controversial” stance on vaccine safety and the pharmaceutical industry, Kennedy has long been a polarizing figure in the health freedom movement. His vocal criticism of vaccine trials—particularly the lack of true placebo controls—has sparked both outrage and support, making these hearings a flashpoint for deeper conversations about accountability in public health policy.

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confirmed to a position of influence over health and safety policy, his appointment would mark a seismic shift in the national conversation about vaccine safety. His confirmation offers an unprecedented opportunity to address these concerns head-on—but only if the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) takes bold, corrective action.

A Call for a Moratorium to Restore Public Trust

The most effective way to restore public trust in childhood vaccines would be for HHS to implement an immediate moratorium on the current childhood vaccination schedule. Such a moratorium would not signal an end to vaccines but rather a temporary pause to re-evaluate their safety and efficacy using rigorous, transparent scientific methods.

RFK Jr. TORCHES Bernie Sanders For Taking Big Pharma Donations

The crowd went wild with applause on Thursday after Donald Trump Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slammed hypocrite Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for taking millions of dollars from Big Pharma.

The moment came during day two of Kennedy’s Senate confirmation hearing, where he told Sanders, “By the way Bernie, the problem with corruption is not just in the federal agencies, it’s in Congress too. Almost all the members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.”

When the audience clapped in approval of RFK’s comment, Sanders angrily waved his hand in the air, saying, “Oh no! No, no, no, no… I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions. They did not come from the executives, not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry, they came from workers.”

Kennedy responded, “In 2020 you were the single largest receiver of pharmaceutical money… Bernie, you were the single largest accepter of pharmaceutical dollars. $1.5 million.”

“Yeah, out of $200 million,” Sanders answered.

During Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for Kennedy, the socialist senator launched into an unhinged tirade at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding baby clothes that celebrate not taking vaccines.

Highlighting Kennedy’s former group Children’s Health Defense (CHD) advertised baby clothing that said “Unvaxxed Unafraid” and “No Vax, No Problem” on its website, Sanders shouted, “ARE YOU SUPPORTIVE OF THESE ONESIES?!”

Elizabeth Warren’s False Accusation Against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at Senate Hearing Sparks Controversy

Today, the Senate confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. swiftly devolved into a political battleground, with partisan tensions overshadowing any serious examination of Kennedy’s qualifications.

Intended to assess his suitability, the hearing became a spectacle of accusation and counter-accusation, leaving little room for meaningful dialogue.

Kennedy, who has long advocated for drug safety and transparency in medical practices, has faced harsh criticism for his outspoken views on vaccines.

Lawmakers seized on his stance, accusing him of hiding his anti-vaccine beliefs and embracing conspiracy theories to dissuade the public from using life-saving vaccines.

Tensions escalated when Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren clashed with Kennedy in a heated exchange. She demanded that he promise not to financially benefit from any lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies if confirmed.

“I’m asking you right now that you will not take a financial stake in every one of the lawsuits [against pharmaceutical companies] so that what you do as secretary will also benefit you financially down the line,” Warren demanded.

Kennedy, visibly frustrated, responded, “Senator, you’re asking me not to sue pharmaceutical companies.” Warren retorted sharply, “No, I am not!”

Amid this verbal sparring, Warren also made a false accusation, claiming that Kennedy had pocketed $2.5 million from law firm Wisner Baum for recruiting plaintiffs in vaccine-related lawsuits.
