Senator Bernie Sanders has given us a historic moment of Senate cross-examination in the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. confirmation hearing. Sanders posed a question that will rank up there in the annals of Senate history with the question attorney Joseph Welch posed to Joe McCarthy in the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954: “Have you no sense of decency?”
Sanders nailed RFK with the question: “Are you supportive of these onesies?” He might have fine-tuned it to “Are you now or have you ever been supportive of these onesies?” You know — in the spirit of Joe McCarthy. As it is, however, Bernie reigned supreme.
BERNIE: "Are you supportive of these onesies!?" ❗️❗️
Bernie went from being a revolutionary to yelling at a Kennedy about baby onesies. That's a significant drop in relevance. pic.twitter.com/2bcNttkU6H

This was history in the making. Megyn Kelly would have lent RFK a hand if only she could have stopped laughing.
The precise moment @megynkelly new tweet was born:

"We spent actual time on a baby onesie in today's HHS confirmation hearing … Meanwhile, guarantee you those onesies are selling out like wildfire right now on the Children's Health Defense website." pic.twitter.com/FEKvwSp9pc

The history here is of the Laughter Is the Best Medicine variety. It’s settled science.
