Kennedy added, “They are not doing their job; they’re not protecting our kids.”

Check out what The Hill reported:

Former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is slated to hold a potentially big role in a new Trump administration, said Wednesday there are “entire departments” within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that “have to go.”

“In some categories … there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA … that have to go, that are not doing their job, they’re not protecting our kids,” Kennedy said during an interview on MSNBC.

Kennedy endorsed President-elect Trump in August after initially running as a Democratic candidate for president, and then as an independent.

Trump’s win in the presidential race sets Kennedy up as a winner himself, who is likely to play some kind of role in health care for the Trump administration.

Kennedy last week said Trump assured him he would get a role in The White House if he won the presidential election.
“We don’t know what I’m going to do. I talked to the president about it yesterday, and he asked me what I wanted, and I said, we’re developing a proposal now,” Kennedy said during a separate interview with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, who asked if Kennedy is getting the job of Health and Human Services secretary.

Per Salon:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would “clear out” entire departments of the Food and Drug Administration that are “not doing their jobs,” he told MSNBC on Wednesday.

“In some categories there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at FDA, that have to go, that are not doing their jobs, that are not protecting our kids,” Kennedy said. “I can get the corruption out of the agencies, it’s what I’ve been doing for 40 years.”

RFK Jr. suspends campaign and endorses Trump
Kennedy, who suspended his independent presidential campaign in August and endorsed President-elect Donald Trump, is known for his opposition to vaccinations, particularly among children. He emerged as a leading opponent of vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic and is also vocal critic of pesticides, water fluoridation and the pharmaceutical industry.
