    “This is coming from an environmental toxin and somebody made it and put that environmental toxin into our air or water or medicines or food,” Kennedy said during the press conference at the Department of Health and Human Services’ headquarters in Washington, D.C.

    “And we’ll announce the culprit as soon as the next corporate figure from any of those industries is critical of the Trump administration.”
