There has long been ambiguity about what role conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will play in Donald Trump’s second term. Before Election Day, the Republican called Kennedy “he can do whatever he wants” and shall be empowered to “savage,” but in practical terms, no one could say with confidence exactly what that meant.

Against this backdrop, Kennedy spoke with NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyardand pointed to existing federal agencies it plans to target.

Kennedy specifically said that the “nutrition departments” at the FDA “have to go.”

In the same interview, he added: “I think fluoride is on the way out.” (As recently as Sunday, Trump declared that banning fluoride in drinking water “it seems ok to me.”)

As for what kind of role RFK Jr. will play in the administration, Hillyard asked what role he asked for. “I didn’t tell them,” he replied. “I told them I wanted to think about it.”

Asked if he would like to be nominated to serve as secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy added, “I don’t know if that’s the job I want. I might be more effective in the White House as health czar or something. But we don’t know. We haven’t decided. We are meeting today for these issues.”

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida — a former Trump critic who has become a pitiful Trump sycophant — appeared on CNN after the race was called and was asked whether a GOP-led Senate would be comfortable confirming the conspiracy theorist to a role strong federal.

“Well, I think the Senate is going to pay a lot of attention to a president who just won an amazing, what I think is an Electoral College landslide when it’s all said and done and a mandate.” Rubio replied. “He is given a mandate to govern. And I think presidents who have been given a mandate to govern deserve from the Senate the opportunity to surround themselves with people who will help them carry out their policies.”

In other words, yes.
