One of the most intriguing and polarizing picks of President Donald Trump’s next administration has been choosing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Despite Kennedy’s previous affiliation with the Democratic Party, many on the left oppose his nomination based, at least in part, on his stance regarding vaccines. By the same token, some GOP senators who are against his nomination could vote against confirming him, and one high-profile supporter of both Trump and Kennedy has a clear message for them.

Of course, this was not the first time Michaels has spoken out in support of Trump and Kennedy.
As the Washington Examiner reported:
The former Biggest Loser trainer, who has been a longtime Democrat, said on Fox News’s Hannity Wednesday night that she voted for Trump.
“I do agree that the Left has gone completely bananas,” Michael said. “But what we have to do in my opinion to help calm them down, because as much as I wanted tell you that they are insane, they are crazy, I don’t think it gets us anywhere.”
“I think the strategy is to reassure people and bring them back to sanity and back to the center. I think that is the best strategy,” she said to host Sean Hannity.

It's absurd that health has become a Blue vs Red issue. Both parties are comprised of HUMAN BEINGS who all bleed the same and share the same health struggles. Thankfully there are some who will step outside of party lines to stand on the right side of history. Let's hope they… https://t.co/4ZyFk55POz

She was somewhat less enthusiastic about supporting Trump, but nonetheless declared his policies superior to those of Kamala Harris:
As Fox News reported:
“Listen, he’s done a ton of stuff I don’t like, obviously,” Michaels said. “You know, the ‘grab’em by the you know’… January 6 bothers me. I wish he was less bombastic and less divisive. I do. Now, if you were to ask me about some of his policies over some of the policies on the left, I’m going to lean into that.”
“I want this war with Russia over. Personally for me, there’s Russian submarines 90 miles off the coast of Miami. Like, I live there! I want that to end now!… Gender-affirming care? I think that needs to end. That’s very scary for me,” she continued. “When I look at some of the policies on the right now, they’re not what I would want them to be. I don’t believe in, you know, ‘Nobody gets into the country.’ ‘Everybody gets into the country.’ I would love to see immigration reform where you take x amount of people a year who’ve been heavily vetted that can pay into the system and contribute to the economy. I work for the United Nations Refugee Agency. I have some understanding of this. And I think that there’s a middle ground that I would like to see.”
“If you ask me to go policy by policy, I probably would lean more towards some of his policies,” she added.
Here’s Michaels’ take on the politicization of Americans’ health:
