RFK Jr.’s Running Mate Says Someone Is ‘Controlling’ Him

Nicole Shanahan, who was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate last year, claimed that someone else is controlling his decisions as health secretary.

She was reacting to news that President Trump had nominated Dr. Casey Means, a “wellness influencer,” as surgeon general and that her brother, Calley Means, was working for Kennedy.

Said Shanahan: “It’s very strange. Doesn’t make any sense. I was promised that if I supported RFK Jr. in his Senate confirmation that neither of these siblings would be working under HHS or in an appointment (and that people much more qualified would be).”

She added: “I don’t know if RFK very clearly lied to me, or what is going on. It has been clear in recent conversations that he is reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions (and it isn’t President Trump).”
