Fascinating but unsurprising day of senate confirmation hearings. RFK, gabbard and Patel all attempted to distance themselves or disavow or change prior statements they’ve made. Which means one of two things - they were lying back then and were only saying those things to curry favour with certain groups and in doing so helped cause incredible harm to institutions and public trust in them. Or they are lying to the senate now to get the job and stil believe those things.
Either situation should be disqualifying for some of the highest posts in the land, and it won’t be.
