He's anti-vax (for you) ... but his kids got it

the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but ... uh

US House member Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) made the following statements during a House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing on Thursday.

"You know, Mr. Kennedy's own family decries his stance on vaccines and families disagree on a lot of things," Plaskett said while grilling Kennedy. "I got family members that, you know, we all disagree, so that doesn't mean anything. But the fact that he has famously sent a request to a party guest that they had to be vaccinated to come to his party, and I'd like to introduce into the record a letter from Lewis Silken — a law firm representing Mr. Kennedy — which states, as he has stated repeatedly, he vaccinated all his children. And I'd like that to be introduced into the record."

What does his prudent decision for his family have to do with you?

Meanwhile, Plaskett continued, Kennedy "tells the Black community and myself, a mother of five Black children, that I should really be careful and not necessarily have the same safeguards to protect my family, my children, from a virus that has killed millions of people because I'm Black. There's no secret that this is an amplification of his own platform."

You know, she does have a point there.
