Senator Smith Blasts RFK Jr.: “Just Shut Up”
Following the Minneapolis church shooting, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested a potential link between antidepressants and the violence, sparking strong criticism from Minnesota Senator Tina Smith. Kennedy’s comments, made on Fox & Friends, focused on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and their possible contribution to school shootings, despite the lack of evidence. This aligns with Kennedy’s history of questioning antidepressant safety and efficacy, a stance that has been refuted by leading experts. This incident comes after Kennedy laid off 100 employees from the Centers for Disease Control’s Division of Violence Prevention.
