Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on Capitol Hill for two hearings on Wednesday and embarrassed leftist Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) when he tried to outsmart him on health matters.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, RFK Jr. first testified before the Senate Finance Committee on his agency’s budget and the deals that the Trump Administration struck with drug companies to lower prices.
Late in the hearing, Warnock decided to test RFK Jr.’s knowledge of rabies, one of the most deadly diseases on the planet.
Warnock started off by trying to ‘educate’ the HHS Secretary on rabies, which can be spread by numerous animals to humans, including raccoons, foxes, and skunks.
Of course, RFK Jr. already knew this information.
Sen. Warnock: Secretary Kennedy, do you know what rabies is?
RFK Jr.: Yeah…
Sen. Warnock: So, people contract rabies, as we know, through bites from infected animals, like skunks, foxes… like raccoons. pic.twitter.com/Sb7IEr35qv

Then, Warnock decided to attack RFK Jr. for making budget cuts to the ‘rabies office.’ He said that only one person is handling issues concerning the disease at the CDC rabies division in Atlanta, Georgia.
But what the Georgia senator neglected to say was that rabies cases in humans are EXTREMELY rare, with only a couple of cases per year on average. Thus, this seems like a job one person can handle.
RFK Jr. left Warnock stammering when he dropped this truth bomb.
WATCH:
🔥 RFK Jr. just showed America that Sen. Warnock (D-GA) is an absolute DOPE 🤣
WARNOCK: You made cuts to the rabies office!
RFK JR: “There’s 1-3 rabies cases PER YEAR in the US! I think ONE PERSON manning that office can handle that traffic!” 😂🔥 pic.twitter.com/hPxbRgEBIs

WARNOCK: You’re gutting the very offices that keep American families safe from disturbing and deadly infectious diseases.
RFK JR: Senator, there’s one to three rabies cases a year in the United States. I think one person manning that office full-time can handle that traffic.
WARNOCK: Here, uh, here, uh…
Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) tried to go after RFK Jr. over TrumpRx’s price cuts earlier in the day, but he shut her down completely.
🚨 JUST IN: HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just CLOBBERED a furious Elizabeth Warren
That’s gotta burn 🔥
WARREN: If these pharma deals are so good, show them!
RFK: “YOU had the power to make this deal YOURSELF! Why DIDN’T you do that? We did this because YOU REFUSE TO DO… pic.twitter.com/m2UEfVihB9
