Mayor Eric Adams on Friday avoided commenting on Donald Trump’s controversial announcement that he intends to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as US Health Secretary, continuing his recent trend of refraining from criticizing the Republican President-elect.
During a Nov. 15 interview on ABC’s The View, Hizzoner declined to offer an opinion on Trump’s intention to tap Kennedy, who has come under heavy fire for embracing controversial medical theories, including vaccine skepticism, to lead the Health and Human Services Department. Trump has said he would let Kennedy “go wild on health” — suggesting Kennedy would have free rein to steer the department with his unorthodox views on health and medicine.
