US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got into a tense exchange with Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) during a Senate Appropriations hearing. Kennedy accused the committee's top Democrat of standing by as chronic disease spiked in the country after Murray asked a question about childcare and development block grant funding.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified before a Senate committee on May 20, 2025, where he faced sharp questioning from Senator Patty Murray regarding his controversial views on vaccines. During the hearing, which focused on proposed budget cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services, Kennedy reiterated his stance that vaccines are linked to autism, a claim widely debunked by scientific research.
