The Daily Show has watched RFK Jr.’s Health Security Confirmation hearing so you don’t have to.
In the clip above host Michael Kosta goes through some of the more memorable moments, from Sen. Michael Bennett giving RFK Jr. a grilling on his litany of disturbing past statements to Bernie Sanders questioning him over anti-vax baby clothing.
On the subject of vaccination, Kosta shares a clip from 2020 of RFJ Jr. expressing regret over his decision to vaccinate his own children.
“What would I do if I could go back in time?” says RFK in the footage. “And I could avoid giving my children the vaccines that I gave them? I would do anything for that. I would pay anything to be able to do that.”
“That is the worst answer to ‘What would you do with a time machine?’ that I have ever heard,” says Kosta in response. “You can’t think of anyone else, in your family, that you would go back in time and try to prevent a shot from happening? Robert F. Kennedy Jr., no-one else?”
