Daily Wire host Michael Knowles talked about the “out of touch” comments made by Democratic Senators at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation hearing for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary under President Donald Trump.
Speaking to “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast on Wednesday, Knowles and Kelly discussed questions by Democratic Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Knowles said they appeared to be “shilling for the big pharmaceutical companies” that didn’t want Kennedy selected.
“The Democrats and the squish Republicans have not caught up with the tectonic shift that has happened in politics,” Knowles said. “They’re still considering politics from 10 or 15 years ago, but after this election, issues like mass deportations, that is now the mainstream position of most Americans, issues like questioning the over-prescription of vaccines, the regulatory capture by big pharmaceutical companies, that is now the mainstream position for most Americans.”
“I think that these senators who haven’t gotten the message, they’re just so profoundly out of touch, and if they continue to remain out of touch, it will be at their own electoral peril,” he added.
Knowles said that what he witnessed at the hearing wasn’t a case of “Democrats versus Republicans or leftists versus conservatives.”
“It’s not over some ideological issue,” the DW host said. “The sole pushback that Kennedy is getting … is from the pharmaceutical companies operating through the politicians they have bought off and control.”
“That’s it,” Knowles added. “So, the question that remains to be seen is can Bobby Kennedy, with the backing of Donald Trump who just won a landslide election with the popular vote for the first time for a Republican in 20 years, can he overcome one single lobby in the country, and that is the pharmaceutical lobby. We are about to get a measure of their relative power in the U.S. Senate.”
“All these Democrats are opposed to me for partisan issues, they used to be my friends,” Kennedy said at one point in the hearing. “They agreed with all the issues I’ve been working on my whole career. Now, they’re against me because anything President Trump does has to be discredited, derided, and vilified.”
