Still thinking about this mind-boggling exchange regarding the former CDC director today RFK JR: I told her that she had to resign because I asked her, “are you a trustworthy person?” and she said “no.” WARREN: What?

SANDERS: Are you telling us that the former head of CDC went to you, you asked her, “are you a trustworthy person?” And she said, “No, I am not a trustworthy person.” RFK JR: She didn't say, “No, I'm not a trustworthy person.” She said “no”… and I asked her twice.

Worth noting that this does not square, like, at all, with ousted CDC director Susan Monarez’s chain of events (Also reminds me of the SAT-style conundrum of whether you should trust a liar who says “I’m lying,” but am currently too tired to puzzle out the answer.)

Looking at Bernie's reactions speaks volumes about his thoughts on that answer.

Brainworm Bobby making shit up.

@ajlamesa Still thinking about those two senators taking over a million dollars from pharmaceutical companies.

Stunning lack of candor, accuracy, and truth. How can we trust data uttered by RFK when he cannot remember a conversation that occurred 8 days prior?

It’s mind boggling watching the leftists who SWORE to everyone they were anti-establishment simping for the establishment. It’s time to have competency tests before voting is allowed.

I swear I wasn't asleep before he said this

Are you a trustworthy person? The tape says…

The guy with the moustache looks genuinely amused by this answer.

Is anybody gonna ask him about why he asked it? It's such a weird question. To me it sounds like a subtler way of asking "can I trust you to do my bidding?"

Fire her again .

The worm is giving him delusions.

LOL, this is all so dumb. They're laughing at him. What else can they do, really.

@igorbobic You’d think he’d have a lie in the chamber, but I’d imagine he’s never prepared for anything.

You really have to watch out for liars who candidly admit they are untrustworthy behind closed doors and then publicly deny it. They’re the worst.

Bernie cracking up

@washingtonpost Kennedy will go to great lengths to actively destroy healthcare in the US. He is a fraud and a conman

Warren: “Sir, you are PURPLE.”

Get Em, RFK!!! 😁❤️🇺🇸

Serious cognitive deficits. Nonsense. Long term drug addiction has consequences.

This guy in the background is all of us

Sitting Bullshit heap big mad!

I bet you anything that the word "Trustworthy" wasn't used. It is more probable that the word "Loyal" was instead asked.

If RFK Jr. imagines that there was such a conversation and those exact words were used, then he’s just plain delusional. It’s a ridiculous question. There’s no way he asked it that way. Maybe in his mind some question he asked it was getting out whether he could trust her??

Bernie Sanders started laughing

@ChrisCillizza Disease will ravage the land. Citizen assets will be devalued. The country will report to china. Climate catastrophe will hit all. Then and only then will reality set in.

Loony. He must resign!

I'm sure this is how he remembers it. His actual question was probably approximately "Can I trust you to do whatever I say?"

@washingtonpost Subpoena the former CDC director to testify that she, in fact, made such a statement.

That worm that’s the one really talking is doing a bang up job in preserving the rest of its species

“Are you trustworthy?” What she hears is “Can I trust you to back me up even when you know I’m full of shit?” Of course the right answer is NO!!!

2018:

She is a lunatic

Why in god’s name did @realDonaldTrump @POTUS hire this crazy 🤪 SOB RFK jr? Because his last name is Kennedy? WTF!

best thing about this clip are sanders, warren and the staffers laughing at the end
