RFK Jr.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a blunt message to the RINO establishment in the Senate, which he says spent months attempting to obstruct President Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda.
Following the Democrats’ victory in the November 3 midterm elections and the appointment of longtime Trump loyalist Stephen Miller as White House Chief of Staff, Kennedy argued that Republican senators had lost their leverage to hold up key HHS nominations.
According to Kennedy, establishment Republicans repeatedly threatened to block his nominees whenever he pursued sweeping reforms, effectively holding critical appointments hostage to undermine the MAHA movement.
Those days are OVER.
With America First stalwart Stephen Miller now serving as White House Chief of Staff, Kennedy declared that the Senate establishment’s leverage had evaporated. Since Democrats were unlikely to support his nominees anyway, the administration no longer had reason to bow to pressure from Republican senators threatening to obstruct its agenda.
RFK Jr.: “Most of them do not want change. Most of them do not want change. And so, what we were doing was very disruptive. And we’ve got a lot of people who simplify it and say it was one person or one industry. That’s not what was happening. It was coming from everywhere.
“But one of the places it was coming from was the Senate, and from the Republicans in the Senate. Every time I tried to do something robust, I would get calls saying, ‘If you do that, we’re not going to confirm your appointees.’
“And so I said to the group at HHS, I said, ‘You know, the Democrats, no matter how great the appointee is, not one vote will go to them. We know that because that’s what’s happened in the past. Not one of my appointees has ever gotten a single Democratic vote.’
“The Senate no longer has any leverage over me. And, you know, that’s a big deal. And then we have Steve Miller in, who’s a friend of our movement, and I don’t think anything is going to get in our way now.
“And that’s why I said—I put out a tweet at one point—I said, ‘Just write, “Release the Kraken,”‘ because that’s what we’re about to do.
“And so, stand by. Thank you for getting us here. God bless you all, and let’s go get this job done. Thank you.”

Kennedy’s latest revelations come just one day after The Gateway Pundit reported explosive allegations from former senior Trump administration health adviser Calley Means, who accused influential White House insiders of undermining the president’s health reform priorities.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on November 9, Means alleged that former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and other senior political operatives prioritized corporate interests and campaign fundraising over substantive health reforms.
During an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Means accused establishment figures of obstructing proposals addressing ultra-processed foods, children’s diets, and corporate influence over federal health policy.
Means also alleged that White House officials repeatedly invoked the need for political contributions as a reason to delay or weaken MAHA initiatives.
The allegations have been disputed.
Ballard Partners, the prominent lobbying firm identified in Means’ accusations, issued a statement denying the claims.

The White House also defended its record, pointing to progress on dietary guidelines, artificial ingredients, and other MAHA initiatives. Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly criticized Means’ allegations.
RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy, who chaired the relevant health committee and ultimately voted for RFK’s confirmation, later blocked or slow-walked MAHA-aligned nominees and publicly attacked Trump’s vaccine executive orders.
Other establishment Republicans, including then-Majority Leader John Thune, went on left-wing television to tell Americans not to take RFK Jr.’s health advice. Those senators used the confirmation process as a weapon. That weapon is now largely spent.
