U.S. Senator Michael Bennet dismantled Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s testimony in a blistering Senate Finance Committee hearing Thursday, accusing him of peddling “lies.”
In the heated debate, Senator Bennet, saying he quoted manufacturers on vaccine safety, blasted Kennedy.
"I quoted them today. What I said was accurate. What you said were lies," Bennet charged.
The conversation got more heated, with Kennedy demanding Bennet answer his questions, a tactic the HHS chief has used before.
"You're evading the question," Kennedy said.

"No, I'm asking the questions here," Bennet declared.
"You're evading that question," Kennedy repeated. "I asked you a question."
"I'm asking the questions, Mr. Kennedy, on behalf of parents and schools and teachers all over the United States of America who deserve so much better than your leadership," Bennet said, blasting Kennedy.
"That's what this conversation is about," he added.
