Jake Tapper Tells CNN Viewers ‘I Hope You Like Measles’ While Reporting on Trump Picking RFK Jr. for Health Secretary
CNN host Jake Tapper joked, "Well America, I hope you like measles," while reporting on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading Trump's department of health.
“Well America, I hope you like measles,” Jake Tapper joked Thursday evening on CNN, segueing into a breaking report on vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being tapped by President-elect Donald Trump’s administration to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. When challenged to a debate by Kennedy in 2021, the CNN anchor called the invitation “truly embarrassing” and continued “I’m not going to lend credence to a conspiracy theorist whose views are so false, unhinged, and dangerous to public health his own siblings feel the need publish op-eds against him.” “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,” Trump wrote in a statement Thursday, announcing Kennedy had been tapped to lead the HHS.
