Brief

DA_Stockman publicly attacked Norman Ornstein on 2026-08-07 for relying on CNN and other 'Big Pharma dependent networks,' defended RFK Jr as deeply knowledgeable about science (albeit opposed to what he calls 'corrupted' pharma science), and highlighted Ornstein's warning that Bill Cassidy's pivotal vote for RFK Jr had dangerous consequences while doubting Cassidy will block Todd Blanche.

Why it matters

On 2026-08-07 @DA_Stockman rebuked Norman Ornstein for 'demonizing' RFK Jr, asserting RFK Jr is 'steeped in "the science"—just not the corrupted version peddled by Big Pharma' and calling him 'the most informed, brilliant and fearless Secy of HHS we have ever had.'

Key details

  • DA_Stockman quoted Norm Ornstein's tweet that Bill Cassidy 'provided the pivotal vote for RFK Jr, resulting in deaths, war on science, diseases,' and said Cassidy likely will not 'muster the courage to block vile Todd Blanche,' calling the odds 'very slim.'
Source evidence

For crying out loud, Ornstein, after all these years you'd think you might do a little homework before sounding off. RFK Jr is actually steeped in "the science"----just not the corrupted version peddled by Big Pharma. Of course, when you get your sound bits from CNN and other Big Pharma dependent networks, you are likely to stoop to demonizing the most informed, brilliant and fearless Secy of HHS we have ever had. Shame on you!!

Yet another chance for Bill Cassidy to redeem some elements of his reputation and legacy. He is defined by providing the pivotal vote for RFK Jr, resulting in deaths, war on science, diseases. Will he muster the courage to block vile Todd Blanche? Odds are slim. Very slim.
