Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens announced that she plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“RFK Jr. is making our country less safe and making healthcare less affordable and accessible for Michiganders,” she claimed. “His contempt for science, the constant spreading of conspiracy theories, and his complete disregard for the thousands of research hours spent by America’s top doctors and experts is unprecedented, reckless, and dangerous.”
“Enough is enough – we need leaders who put science over chaos, facts over lies, and people over politics, which is why I am announcing today that I have begun drafting articles of impeachment against Secretary Kennedy,” Stevens continued, further claiming that Kennedy has “violated his oath of office and proven himself unfit to serve the American people.”
The congresswoman’s impeachment articles will focus on what she argues is Kennedy’s “abdication of duty by cutting funding for lifesaving research,” restricting access to vaccines, lying, and failing to fulfill duties of HHS.
Stevens urged Kennedy to resign from his role as HHS Secretary earlier this month, declaring that he was “creating chaos and turning away from science at a time when Michiganders need real leadership and real answers.”
The congresswoman’s effort comes as more than 1,000 current and former HHS employees signed a letter on September 3 demanding that RFK Jr. resign.
“We swore an oath to support and defend the United States Constitution and to serve the American people. Our oath requires us to speak out when the Constitution is violated and the American people are put at risk,” the letter says. “Thus, we warn the President, Congress, and the Public that Secretary Kennedy’s actions are compromising the health of this nation, and we demand Secretary Kennedy’s resignation.”
