In an unhinged statement, former Congressman Joe Kennedy III attacked his cousin and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, claiming he has chosen to “dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.”
“Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American,” the statement read.
Joe Kennedy further called for RFK’s resignation from the agency.
The comments come one day after RFK’s explosive Senate Finance Committee hearing, where he held his own against the relentless Democrats on the committee.
Full statement below:
Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American. A United States Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with protecting the public health of our country and its people. At yesterday’s hearing, he chose to do the opposite: to dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.
None of us will be spared the pain he is inflicting. It doesn’t matter how rich or powerful you are or what state you live in — the heartbreak of watching a loved one fall ill knows no borders.
The challenges before us-from disease outbreaks to mental health crises-demand moral clarity, scientific expertise, and leadership rooted in fact.
Those values are not present in the Secretary’s office. He must resign.

This is not the first glimpse of the family drama that the Kennedy family has publicly engaged in.
Previously, after RFK crossed party lines and endorsed President Trump for President in 2024, siblings Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Courtney Kennedy, Rory Kennedy, Chris Kennedy, and Kerry Kennedy released a hateful statement endorsing Kamala Harris for President and accusing their brother of betraying the family legacy.
As noted by Fox, cousin Caroline Kennedy also attempted to derail RFK’s confirmation to HHS, writing a letter to Senators where she labeled him a “predator,” adding that he was “addicted to attention and power” and “unqualified.”
And during his Senate hearing on Thursday, Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John F. Kennedy, called him a “LOSER” in an X post.
“RFK LOSER is choking so badly LIVE,” Schlossberg wrote.
