‘Those Were Trump’s Doctors!’ CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Torpedoes RFK ‘Experts’ Complaint
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins torpedoed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s complaint about “experts” during the Covid era by noting those experts were put forward by President Donald Trump.
Kennedy sat for an extended interview with Collins on Thursday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, during which the anchor pressed him on his recent testimony before Congress.
As he tried to explain his dodge about vaccines, Kennedy complained about Americans being told to “trust the experts” — to which Collins had a quick reply:
KENNEDY JR.: One of the big mistakes that you and many other of your media colleagues made during Covid, is to try to convince the American people that they should trust the experts.
Trusting the experts is not a feature of science. It’s not a feature of democracy. It’s a feature of religion and totalitarianism. What we should do is trust the science. And we are going to do the science, and the science is going to be replicable, and it’s going to be gold standard, so that parents can make their own choices about what they — what is best for their family and their health.
COLLINS: But I think people — you know, the message was to trust the science, and what studies were finding, and what the course is —
KENNEDY JR.: During Covid, that was a bad message. Trust — no, it was trust the experts. That’s what they — that’s what you kept telling us. Trust the experts.
COLLINS: I don’t know that I ever said that.
KENNEDY JR.: Well you —
COLLINS: I mean, we talked to the officials. Actually during Covid —
KENNEDY JR.: Your network was saying it every day.
COLLINS: — we took the briefings live, every day, with all of the experts that President Trump —
KENNEDY JR.: Those are the experts.
COLLINS: Those were President Trump’s doctors.
KENNEDY JR.: But you weren’t looking at the science.
COLLINS: But those were President — the people President Trump brought out to the briefings.
KENNEDY JR.: Well President Trump brought — and I can — I can–
COLLINS: He brought Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx.
KENNEDY JR.: If you want to go chapter and verse, I can tell you what President Trump did right, and what President Biden did wrong. What I’m saying to you —
COLLINS: But I want to get back to what your comment was, about, that you said that people should not take your medical advice.
