Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert flew off the handle on his show Wednesday, criticizing Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr for winding down mRNA vaccine development.
"There’s bad news of fans of living because Health Secretary RFK Jr just pulled $500 million in funding from vaccine development," Colbert told his audience. "Now, we have 10 more months of this show, and I want to give a measured, nonpartisan response here: f*ck you, you roid-addled nepo-carnie," he said, holding up a middle finger to the camera.
Stephen Colbert loses it over RFK Jr.: “F*ck you, you roid-addled nepo-carnie.”
