“Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made several controversial and often false claims about Covid-19, vaccines and measles over the weekend,” Lemire noted of Kennedy’s already-infamous interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.

In a later segment that also aired Monday morning, he further lamented Kennedy’s behavior this past weekend.
