Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his past controversial remarks about an agency he would oversee as the nation's top health official.
Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services appeared Wednesday before the Senate Finance Committee, where the Georgia Democrat asked Kennedy whether he still agreed with his past comparison of the Centers for Disease Control to Nazi death camps.

“The word ‘fascism’ in Italian means a bundle of sticks, and what it means is the bundle is more important than the sticks. The institution, CDC and the vaccine program, is more important than the children that it’s supposed to protect. It’s the same reason we had a pedophile scandal in the Catholic Church. Because people were able to convince themselves that the institution, the church, was more important than these little boys and girls who were being raped. And everybody kept their mouth shut. The press, the prosecutors, the priests, the bishops, the monsignors, the Vatican, and even the parents of the kids who just didn’t want to believe it was happening, or believed so much in the church they were unwilling to criticize it. And you know, that is the perfect metaphor for what’s happening to us. There have to be parents who stand up and say, ‘We don’t give a s---.’”
“Is it hyperbole when I say these people should be in jail? They should be in jail and the key should be thrown away. What Jesus Christ says is that anybody who harms a hair of these little children that it would be better if a millstone was tied around their neck and they were thrown in the deepest part of the ocean and it would be better yet if they had never been born.”
"To me this is like Nazi death camps, what happened to these kids. I can’t tell you why somebody would do something like that. I can’t tell you why ordinary Germans participated in the Holocaust.”
“Oh, they’ve hidden it, and they won’t let anybody in it, except their own guys who cherry-pick and design these fabricated studies and change the protocols constantly to try to use it to defend vaccines, It’s being used instead to craft these fabricated, fraudulent studies by in-house bought-and-paid-for ‘biostitutes’ to fool the public about vaccine safety.”

The thought processes of a dysfunctional human being.
