'Frankly, you frighten people,' Democrat Whitehouse says
Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse slammed Kennedy for what he called his anti-vaccine views and past statements citing rising measles cases.
"Frankly, you frighten people," the Rhode Island senator, who has been a long-time friend of the nominee, said.
Whitehouse stressed that Americans need to hear Kennedy's promise to say that never say vaccines aren't medically safe and that he supports mandatory vaccines "against diseases where that will keep people safe."
"You're in that hole pretty deep," the senator said.
Kennedy did not respond to those requests.
