Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) tried Thursday to distance himself from one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s wild health claims, though he wouldn’t go so far as to call the health secretary’s guidance “dangerous.”

Speaking with MSNBC journalist Ali Vitali during an interview aired on the “Morning Joe” talk show, Thune said that if he were a woman, he “wouldn’t be taking advice” from President Donald Trump’s Cabinet member, who is a known anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist.

Thune’s comments came after Vitali asked him whether Kennedy’s unscientific public health advice, which has drawn significant controversy from medical and public health experts, is “dangerous.”

“Well, I’ve said that I think that if I were a woman, I’d be talking to my doctor and not taking, you know, advice from RFK or any other government bureaucrat, for that matter,” Thune responded.

1. Does Thune not know how our government works?

Sure, talk to your doctor.
And among the various types of inputs your doctor will follow to make sure they are giving the best advice?
Government bureaucrats. Well, back when we had competent government.

2. Hey Senator Thune,

you voted to confirm this evil quack as Health and Human Services Secretary. You are directly responsible for his shitty decisions and judgment.
