Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) is set to introduce articles of impeachment against independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing him of creating “health care chaos” tied to his stance on vaccines and public health protocols.
As The Hill reports:
On the social media platform X, Stevens wrote, “Health care chaos. Reckless cuts. Rising costs. Michiganders and families across the country are paying the price for RFK Jr.’s agenda. Enough is enough, which is why I’m drafting articles of impeachment against @SecKennedy.”
Stevens has repeatedly called for Kennedy’s removal from his role since he became health secretary.
She called for Kennedy to resign earlier this month, citing the slashing of medical research for pediatric cancer and vaccines.
“Michiganders are tired of politicians who chase attention and ignore real problems. I’ve seen enough chaos from this administration and from Secretary Kennedy,” Steven said in a statement on Sept. 15.
The resolution is largely symbolic, with little chance of advancing in the Republican-controlled House. But it marks a dramatic escalation in the backlash against Kennedy’s controversial health policies, particularly his vocal opposition to vaccines.
The move is expected to draw strong partisan reactions and further inflame tensions around Kennedy’s role in the 2024 race.
Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) – Well, there’s a household name that’s on the tip of everyone’s tongue, known for her stellar contributions to congress and the valuable legislation she’s introduced and advanced over the years. Methinks she’s up for re-election this next year and has only now decided that she’s in need of visibility (for any reason). Yawn . . .
