On his “Real Time” show, Bill Maher delivered sharp criticism of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling his recent Senate performance “nutty” and insisting, “He’s got to go.” Although Maher once expressed sympathy for Kennedy’s mission, he said the mounting chaos at the Centers for Disease Control—marked by sweeping firings of leadership and expertise—is alarmingly unbalanced.
The comedian lamented that Kennedy claimed to advocate for reform, but instead removed the CDC’s top voices without building a clear alternative. “It pains me to say this, because I like the guy,” Maher added. His remarks underscore rising concern among public figures over Kennedy’s shakeup of health agencies and his communication style during intense Senate questioning.Maher Turns on RFK Jr., Calls Him ‘Nutty’ and Says ‘He’s Got to Go’
