Sen. James Lankford says he doesn't think RFK Jr. has 'gone a wrong direction' on vaccines

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., on Sunday declined to say that he had 100% confidence in Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., instead saying that Kennedy has not “gone a wrong direction” on vaccines.

The comments come just days after the Trump administration fired the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, triggering an exodus of senior CDC officials from the agency.

Asked the first time whether he has 100% confidence in Kennedy, whom he voted to confirm, Lankford demurred, telling NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that Kennedy isn’t limiting access to the Covid vaccine.

“It’s still widely accepted,” Lankford said.

Never mind, Jimmy. You just did.

Lankford is not (despite his affiliations) a stupid man.

But he will act stupid and ignorant in order to stay in good graces with his incompetent Party.

He knows this Administration's health policies are dangerous, could kill millions and cause millions more to suffer.

But he will lie to defend them.

Christ, Lankford, is keeping that Senate seat that important to you? Have you thought that maybe you could keep your office by being a stand-up guy for once in your life? Have you learned that doing the right thing is key to feeling good about yourself?
