This from Politico 16 years ago:
President-elect Barack Obama is strongly considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Environmental Protection Agency, a Cabinet post, Democratic officials told Politico…
The selection of Kennedy would be a shrewd early move for the new presidential team. Obama advisers said the nomination would please both Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Then this from NBC yesterday:
Many Democrats immediately condemned Kennedy’s selection, characterizing it as “dangerous” and “disturbing.”
“Mr. Kennedy’s outlandish views on basic scientific facts are disturbing and should worry all parents who expect schools and other public spaces to be safe for their children,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., in a statement.
Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said in a post to X that Kennedy was “Dangerous. Unqualified. Unserious.”
