Kennedy Jr.'s Testimony Sparks Outrage: 'I Don't Know' Answers Dominate Senate Hearing

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s testimony before the Senate has generated controversy due to his repeated responses of "I don't know" when questioned about significant budget cuts and programs. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut highlighted the cancellation of $12 billion in grants to states, including Connecticut, intended for vaccine administration and tracking. Kennedy's response was a simple, "When did I do that?" Similarly, Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey's questions about funding cuts to the World Health Center Health Program were met with, "I don't know about that." This lack of awareness regarding substantial budgetary decisions and programs within his area of responsibility has raised concerns about his qualifications and preparedness for the position. The incident underscores the importance of thorough knowledge and accountability in high-level political roles.
