# MAGA Loses It at CNN Host After RFK Jr. Unravels On Air

RFK Jr. and Dana Bash got into a fiery argument as he blamed the host for failed public health policies.

MAGAworld has erupted at a CNN host who dared challenge Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about his wild theories on vaccines and public health.

Kennedy blew up on State of the Union on Sunday when host Dana Bash pressed the anti-vaxxer on the Trump administration's preparedness for the next pandemic. The crux of his point was that Bash and CNN trusted the experts and then reported their findings to the American public, which, he argued, was somehow bad.

The interview went south again when RFK Jr. began touting debunked theories linking vaccines and autism. MAGAworld then celebrated his snarling, lunging performance, using it as a cudgel to beat CNN and Bash with.

CNN defended Bash and the network's reporting. "Dana Bash is a veteran journalist who conducted a news-making interview with Secretary Kennedy in which he stated that he supports parents getting their children vaccinated against measles and addressed President Trump's push for further study into autism and vaccines," a spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday.

"Asking tough, substantive questions to those in power is the job of every journalist, and Dana did hers incredibly well today. We stand behind Dana, her reporting, and CNN's overall coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic."

At the interview's ugliest point, Kennedy snarled as he lunged forward over the table. "You're repeating it like a parrot," he shouted at Bash. "You're repeating it like a parrot. I've actually read the science."

The conversation again devolved into raised, overlapping voices, before Bash proclaimed: "I'm not debating nonsense."

"All you know how to do is repeat what people told you and say 'Trust in the experts!'" a red-faced, wildly gesticulating Kennedy replied.

After being told she had "no personal knowledge" on the matter, Bash clapped back: "OK, well, guess what? That is my job, to talk to people."

"Your job is to tell the truth," Kennedy shouted, as Bash demanded, "Am I allowed to talk?"
