Colorado Governor Jared Polis shocks health officials, endorses DJT’s pick of RFK, Jr. as Health and Human Services director

The Democratic governor said he was “excited” by Trump’s nomination, despite Polis touting the day before the creation of the Governors Safeguarding Democracy organization as a playbook for other governors to push back against Trump’s right-wing administration.

“[RFK Jr.] helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA,” Polis continued in his X post. Although Polis said he hopes Kennedy “leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans,” the vaccine conspiracist has strongly advocated for a vaccine ban through his anti-vaccine organization Children’s Health Defense.

Polis’ praise [arrived] just a few months after he ridiculed Kennedy and suggested his vaccine skepticism could lead to “bringing back Measles and bringing back Polio.”

[T]he Colorado governor added that what he was “most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health.” Appearing to acknowledge that many Americans [were] skeptical due to Kennedy’s long history of spreading a myriad of conspiracies, Polis added, “Before you mock him or disagree, I want to share with you some quotes that if he follows through show why I’m excited.”
