Representative Haley Stevens (D-MI) has filed articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying that he “has turned his back on science” and failed to protect the American people.
Stevens, who is currently running for Senate in Michigan, had threatened to file articles of impeachment back in September after claiming that his actions and public comments had endangered public health, raised healthcare costs and cut medical research programs.
In a statement posted on social media, Stevens said: “Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.”
Stevens, who calls herself “a very serious lawmaker,” told NBC News, “But I’m not going to sit quietly by while people’s health and safety and lives are on the line.”
