In response to Kennedy’s nomination, Public Citizen, a progressive nonprofit group specializing in client advocacy, stated: “Robert F Kennedy Jr is a transparent and current hazard to the nation’s well being. He shouldn’t be allowed within the constructing on the division of well being and human companies (HHS), not to mention be positioned in command of the nation’s public well being company.”
