‘Nobody’s Controlling Your Decisions?’ Bret Baier Asks RFK Jr. About Ex-Running Mate’s Accusation
Fox News host Bret Baier asked Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about his former running mate’s accusation he was being controlled on Thursday.
During an interview with Kennedy and his allies, Baier asked the secretary about Dr. Casey Means’ controversial appointment as Surgeon General of the United States – which was criticized by Kennedy’s former running mate Nicole Shanahan.
“She’s come under her own criticism about some of the things she’s advocated for,” noted Baier. “She never finished her residency and she doesn’t currently have an active medical license.”
“She was the top of her medical– very top of her medical class at Stanford,” replied Kennedy. “During her residency, she won every award that she could’ve won. She walked away from traditional medicine because she was not curing patients. She couldn’t get anybody within her profession to look at the nutrition contributions to illness, and she said, ‘If we’re really gonna heal people, if we’re healers, we can’t just be making our life about billing new procedures. We actually have to figure out new approaches to medicine, and that’s the kind of leadership that she’s gonna bring to our country.”
Baier then asked Kennedy about Shanahan’s social media post, which criticized the appointment and accused Kennedy of being controlled.
“Your former running mate weighed in today, saying that she wasn’t happy about this and that you were somehow being controlled, your decisions are being controlled. That’s what she posted,” said Baier.
Kennedy protested, “Listen, you’ve got sitting here four people who were all cancelled during Covid.”
He continued, “The entire leadership of this agency are renegades who are, you know, who are juggernauts against convention and who are trying to look for truth, no matter what the cost. Casey is among those.”
“So nobody’s controlling your decisions?” pressed Baier.
Kennedy did not respond to the question before Baier cut to commercials.
Reacting to Means’ appointment on Wednesday, Shanahan wrote, “Yes, it’s very strange. Doesn’t make any sense. I was promised that if I supported RFK Jr. in his Senate confirmation that neither of these siblings would be working under HHS or in an appointment (and that people much more qualified would be).”
“I don’t know if RFK very clearly lied to me, or what is going on,” she continued. “It has been clear in recent conversations that he is reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions (and it isn’t President Trump). With regards to the siblings, there is something very artificial and aggressive about them, almost like they were bred and raised Manchurian assets.”
