Dem governor quickly walks back statement that he's 'excited' by Trump nominee

Raw Story  

A Democratic governor quickly walked back his seeming excitement over Donald Trump's announcement Thursday of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run Health and Human Services. "He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues," he continued. Polis faced immediate blowback from commenters on social media, with many expressing horror that he would back a candidate who has attacked childhood vaccination, wants to remove fluoride from public water supplies, and pushed antisemitic ideas about COVID-19 being biologically targeted to spare Jews. "Re my thoughts on @RobertKennedyJr, Science must remain THE cornerstone of our nation’s health policy and the science-backed decision to get vaccinated improves public health and safety," wrote Polis.
