WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.), along with 22 senators, filed a Resolution of Disapproval that states the Senate and the American people have zero confidence in RFK Jr. and calls for his removal.
Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and Senators Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), Coons (D-Del.), Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Duckworth (D-Ill.), Heinrich (D-N.M.), Kaine (D-Va.), Kim (D-N.J.), Markey (D-Mass.), Murray (D-Wash.), Padilla (D-Calif.), Reed (D-R.I.), Rosen (D-Nev.), Sanders (D-Vt.), Smith (D-Minn.), Warren (D-Mass.), Warner (D-Va.), Warnock (D-Ga.), Welch (D-Vt.), and Van Hollen (D-Md.) signed the Resolution of Disapproval.
Stand Up for Science, Protect Our Care, Public Citizen, Reproductive Freedom For All, Accountable.us, American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and Defend Public Health have endorsed the resolution.
This comes after Senator Alsobrooks and Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) released a damning 54-page report chronicling at least one example of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s costly, chaotic, and corrupt actions from every day he has served as Secretary.
Senator Alsobrooks was the first Senator to call on RFK Jr. to resign or be fired on May 10.
This resolution also comes just after RFK Jr.'s disastrous hearing in front of the Senate Finance Committee.
