Allies of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are reportedly worried he is being “marginalized” by the Trump administration.

There are “fears among Kennedy’s close allies that he is being marginalized inside the administration, opening a fresh rift within the nascent MAGA-MAHA alliance,” according to a report from CNN. The concerns surfaced after Trump’s latest Surgeon General pick, Dr. Nicole Saphier, was announced without Kennedy reportedly having significant input in the decision.

Saphier, Trump’s third Surgeon General nominee in less than two years, was abruptly replaced by Trump’s previous nominee, Casey Means, a close Kennedy ally, fueling speculation about fractures in the MAGA-MAHA alliance.

One unnamed Trump adviser dismissed Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement and its influence within the administration, according to CNN. “I hate to say it, but I think they’re a little bit overrated,” the adviser told CNN. “To some extent, MAHA has always been a paper tiger.”

1. Big PhRMA will win out in the end. I'm surprised MAHA lasted this long.

11. It's got nothing to do with "big Pharma."

Very little of what RFK Jr promotes is sound. His movement needs to end.

20. Terrible Analogy

RFK’s “voice…drowned out” is the best advice coming from Dr. Weird.

Nobody wants to hear his cocaine-damaged voice; except in anti-drug ads—-Every word is a “branding symbol” for cocaine and heroin abuse damage.

Just STFU ASAP RFK, Jr.

You aren’t fit to wear your father’s name.

2. it's been long rumored that he's going to be cut loose soon by the orange pedo

but the pedo is at pains to do it because he thinks worm brains cult followers actually matter for the midterms.

[tanyev]

3. I doubt he would go out quietly, so that could be fun.

[MoseShrute]

4. I certainly hope his voice is being drowned out

His voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

12. I'd rather listen to a garbage disposal quartet.

[Crowman2009]

17. I'd rather listen to John/Yoko's "Don't Worry Kyoko" on a 24-hour loop.

[Ray Bruns]

5. So what's the bad news?

[AZ8theist]

19. You beat me to it!!

[Blue Owl]

6. Um, he should be in a mental institution....

[GiqueCee]

7. Putting aside for the moment...

... Roadkill breath's spasmodic dysphoria, and the horrifying fact that he has any "close allies" at all, even the shame of the Kennedy clan must realize that it's not nice to get even a teensy bit more attention than Fatty McPsychopants. It's called malignant narcissism for a reason; all attention has to be focused on him, regardless of the circumstances.

[Wicked Blue]

8. Good. He should go back to licking roadkill

and stop messing with necessary vaccine recommendations.

[Hey Joe]

9. Silly people

This bunch of ghouls doesn’t want more healthy people.
They want more DEAD people!
Sicker, poorer and clinging onto their low wage
jobs which can disappear at any time.

10. Yup. The Republican dream for us 'little people'

[catrose]

13. It can't happen too soon

His voice being drowned out

14. It can't happen quickly enough.

Bobby Brainworm has no business in that job. Send him back to the obscurity he deserves.

[malthaussen]

15. How this clown has any "allies" at all is a mystery and a wonder to me. n/t

[SergeStorms]

16. I hope to (insert name of favorite deity here)......

that his voice is drowned out! Not only are the entirety of his ideas totally insane, the voice with which he speaks them is like fingernails scraped across a chalkboard to my ears. 🙉

[eppur_se_muova]

18. GOOD. Marginalize him out the door. nt
