Joe Kennedy III Calls for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Resignation
Former Representative Joe Kennedy III has publicly called for his grandfather, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to resign from his position as the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. In a statement shared on X, the social media platform, he expressed concerns that Kennedy Jr. is jeopardizing the health and safety of Americans.
Kennedy III’s remarks follow a recent hearing where he claims his grandfather dismissed scientific evidence and misled the public. “Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and well-being of every American,” he stated. He emphasized that the role of the Secretary of Health and Human Services is to protect public health, a responsibility he believes Kennedy Jr. is failing to fulfill.
In his statement, Kennedy III warned that the consequences of his grandfather’s actions would not only affect a specific group but would have widespread implications. “No one will be spared the pain that Kennedy will cause, as any person can expose the vulnerable to diseases,” he cautioned. He added, “It doesn’t matter how rich or powerful you are or what state you live in—the heartbreak of watching a loved one fall ill knows no borders.”
Kennedy III pointed to ongoing public health challenges, including disease outbreaks and mental health crises, asserting that these issues require leadership grounded in moral clarity and scientific expertise. “Those values are not present in the Secretary’s office,” he concluded, reiterating his demand for Kennedy Jr. to step down.
Adding to the family’s public discontent, Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy and son of Caroline Kennedy, expressed his frustration with a pointed comment on social media. He referred to Kennedy Jr. as “RFK LOSER,” indicating a growing rift within the Kennedy family regarding his public health policies.
The internal family conflict raises questions about the future of Kennedy Jr.’s role in leading public health initiatives. Concerns regarding his approach and statements have sparked significant debate about the qualifications and responsibilities of those holding such crucial positions in government.
As the political landscape navigates complex health issues, the demand for leadership that prioritizes scientific integrity continues to resonate across the nation.
