During Wednesdays hearing, Kennedy refused to answer basic questions about a variety of subjects.
Would he support bans on abortion medications, like mifepristone?
Did he believe school shootings were sparked by anti-depressants?

Would he support making cuts to Medicaid?
Did he support extending set-to-expire tax credits that have allowed low-income Americans access to healthcare?
In all of these issues, Kennedy preferred equivocations to definitive answers.
Bernie Sanders asked the nominee, at one point.
The answer was simple: No.
Kennedy noted that he had recently parted ways with the organization in preparation for his federal position.
Sanders then switched tactics.
Are you supportive of these onesies?
Sanders yelled at Kennedy, as the flustered nominee sputtered evasively.
I submit, however, that Kennedy is actually neither of these things.
Trump recently pickedKailee Tkacz Bullerto be the chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Bullers previous position was as the President and CEO of the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA).
