Bernie Sanders grilling RFK Jr. over baby onesies shows how unserious politics has become.

It was a moment that captured everything wrong with American politics: Bernie Sanders demanding RFK Jr. denounce a baby onesie. Instead of discussing real issues like vaccine safety, government accountability, or public health policies, a seasoned senator spent time obsessing over infant apparel.
This is modern politics in a nutshell—performative outrage over substance. Congress has become a stage for grandstanding and partisan theater, where serious debate takes a backseat to viral moments.

Sanders was not alone in this circus act. Elizabeth Warren’s questioning of RFK Jr. took a bizarre turn, demanding he pledge not to sue Big Pharma after leaving office. Rather than discussing corruption in regulatory agencies, Warren somehow twisted legal accountability into a bad thing. Meanwhile, Maggie Hassan attacked RFK Jr. for shifting political positions, treating ideological independence as treachery rather than thoughtfulness.

This shift towards media-ready political theater is why Congress is failing. Instead of tackling critical issues, politicians chase social media clout, reinforcing tribal loyalties rather than engaging in real problem-solving.
​
If this is the direction of American politics, we are in trouble. The American people deserve leaders focused on solutions, not senators using baby clothes as weapons in a partisan war.
