MSNBC's Chris Hayes Talks About RFK's 'Strange Kind Of Obsession' With Autism

Posted • October 9, 2025: Remember when President Barack Obama put his vice president, Joe Biden, in charge of the "Cancer Moonshot," and they were going to cure cancer during Obama's administration. President Biden revived the program during his administration, and in July of 2023, even took credit for curing it. "I said I'd cure cancer they looked at me like, why cancer? Because we can. We ended cancer as we know it," Biden said. (This editor's sister-in-law is undergoing cancer surgery tomorrow.) What is this strange obsession Biden has with cancer? And why did it appear like he never actually did anything about it? MSNBC's Christopher Hayes is baffled by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's "strange kind of obsession" with autism. Autism is like this "creeping specter," Hayes says. And Kennedy has perverted the public health system in his quest to find why autism cases have spiked.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes says RFK Jr has a “strange obsession” with finding the cause of autism. Hayes is about an inch away from saying that autism is a good thing just to stick it to Kennedy. RFK doesn't want children to suffer and he wants children to live healthy, happy lives. Chris thinks that's weird. I don't think that it's RFK that's the problem in this story. Its not like we shouldn't investigate the thing that has increased by an astronomical amount in the last 50 years. Great point Chris! I mean imagine you audacity of Jonas Salk's "strange obsession" with finding the cure for polio? Democrats have a strange obsesssion with hating everything and LITERALLY ANYTHING that comes from this White House. Since the right is trying to end autism, the left is trying to turn autism into a protected identity class. Like another gender. They don’t want a cure. They see this as an opportunity. Chris Hayes has a weird obsession of trying to accuse the Health Secretary of being maliciously overconcerned about people's health. 🙄 (…)
