RFK Jr.’s MAHA Policies Face Sharp Critique on “The View”

During a Thursday episode of *The View*, co-hosts questioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) amid his promotion of “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) policies. Joy Behar summed up her concern: “Sometimes, I feel like they’re trying to kill us.”

Kennedy’s MAHA agenda emphasizes artificial-intelligence-driven drug development, a shift away from mRNA research, and the reported cancellation of $500 million in related funding. Recent hearings before the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions examined these proposals. *The View* co-hosts Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Whoopi Goldberg delivered the criticism, while Steak ‘n Shake’s Chief MAHA Officer Michael Boes announced a chain-wide switch to grass-fed beef, citing MAHA priorities.

• Kennedy claims AI could make the Food and Drug Administration “irrelevant.”

• Griffin cites a $500 million reduction in mRNA-related research funding.

• Boes reports market testing showed strong consumer preference for grass-fed beef, prompting the June 1 rollout.

The segment highlights legislative and public unease about MAHA’s scientific basis, especially AI-driven drug creation and research-funding shifts. Concurrent corporate adoption of MAHA branding, exemplified by Steak ‘n Shake’s menu overhaul, suggests the agenda influences both policy and market behavior.

Kennedy defended AI’s potential, describing a future where personalized treatments bypass traditional regulatory pathways. Boes explained the beef transition as driven by perceived health benefits and customer taste preferences, citing positive trial feedback. No formal response from HHS or the Senate committees appears in the source material.

Behar called Kennedy a “former heroin addict” who “swam in sewage” and “snorted cocaine off a toilet seat,” questioning his fitness to oversee health. Griffin dismissed him as lacking a medical degree or scientific background. Goldberg suggested the CDC had been stripped of key clinical-trial data, implying reduced transparency.

Inquisitr

Kennedy’s anecdote of a dog cured by AI-generated medication lacks independent verification. The claim that AI will render the FDA irrelevant is unsupported by external evidence. The $500 million funding cancellation is presented solely as Griffin’s assertion without corroborating data.
