The HHS secretary "clearly believes that the more he tells a lie, the more it becomes the truth,” Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) told HuffPost.

During a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday, Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) had a strange clash with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the massive cuts he’s overseen at his agency, including to personnel.

“You made it very clear here today you have no knowledge whatsoever of the absolutely amazing scientists and researchers who you have callously fired,” said Alsobrooks.

“I didn’t fire any working scientists,” Kennedy said.

“That, sir, is not true either,” replied Alsobrooks.
