Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested the second Trump administration could eliminate entire departments of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for “corruption.”

The former independent presidential candidate spoke to MSNBC on Wednesday about President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election.

Kennedy, who has been a key figure in the Trump campaign since supporting him, was asked about his potential role in the next White House and whether he would begin “eliminating high-level federal officials who are currently at the FDA and CDC. “.

“In some categories, I would say,” Kennedy responded.

He continued: “In some categories, entire departments, like the FDA nutrition department, need to go. They’re not doing their job. They’re not protecting our children. Why do we have Froot Loops in this country? that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada, and there are two or three?

As for whether he would eliminate entire agencies like the FDA, Kennedy was less committed.

“Eliminating agencies, as long as it requires congressional approval, I wouldn’t do it,” Kennedy said.

He added: “But I can eliminate corruption from agencies. That’s what I’ve been doing for 40 years. I’ve taken all these agencies to court. I have a doctorate in corporate corruption and that’s what what I do.” Once they are not corrupt, once Americans have access to good science and are allowed to make their own choices, they will be much healthier. »

Kennedy posted the interview from his X account and reiterated his efforts to “clean up corruption” in agencies like the FDA.

“President Trump has asked me to do three things: 1. Eliminate corruption in our government health agencies. 2. Return these agencies to their rich tradition of benchmarking evidence-based science. 3. Return the Healthy America by ending the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy wrote.

Kennedy previously ran as an independent candidate before ultimately suspending his campaign in August to support Trump. Since then, he campaigned on behalf of Trump and hinted at a potential role in the White House.

Days before the election, he suggested that Trump would seek to remove fluoride from drinking water.

“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to eliminate fluoride from public water,” Kennedy posted on X. “Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders and thyroid disease,” he said, adding that former President Trump and first lady Melania Trump ” want to make America healthy again.”
