House Democrat Moves To Impeach Trump Administration Cabinet Member


Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) announced she would introduce articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“Health care chaos. Reckless cuts. Rising costs. Michiganders and families across the country are paying the price for RFK Jr.’s agenda. Enough is enough, which is why I’m drafting articles of impeachment against @SecKennedy,” Stevens said.

Stevens, a vocal RFK Jr. critic, has repeatedly called to remove the former presidential candidate from his position.

She called for Kennedy to resign earlier this month, citing the slashing of medical research for pediatric cancer and vaccines.

“Michiganders are tired of politicians who chase attention and ignore real problems. I’ve seen enough chaos from this administration and from Secretary Kennedy,” Stevens said in a statement Sept. 15.

“He’s making Michiganders unhealthy and unsafe. He needs to resign now. It’s time for leaders who fight for science, for health, and for the people, not those who undermine the progress our families and researchers work so hard to achieve.”

The move to impeach Kennedy comes amid federal health policies and recommendations that major medical organizations have spoken out against, including recommendations to alter childhood vaccination schedules and President Trump telling pregnant women not to take Tylenol.

“Make America Healthy Again: Impeach RFK Jr.,” Stevens commented.

“Secretary Kennedy has violated his oath of office and proven himself unfit to serve the American people. Congress must act to hold him accountable, and I intend to lead the charge to remove him from office,” Stevens said, according to The Detroit News.

“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,” she continued.

“It is very clear that we have a quack at the head of Health and Human Services,” Stevens said.

The Detroit News noted:

It is unlikely that Stevens’ call for impeachment will be successful, given Republican majorities in Congress. Impeachment votes have a simple majority threshold in the U.S. House and a two-thirds vote in the U.S. Senate after a trial.

Still, Stevens is seeking to put pressure on the nation’s controversial health chief.

Stevens is running for U.S. Senate in Michigan to replace Sen. Gary Peters (D).
