小罗伯特·肯尼迪发起的“让美国重新健康起来”运动目前陷入混乱。该运动的主要组织者托尼·莱昂斯曾承诺今年筹集1亿美元来支持共和党，但至今远未达成目标。
RFK Jr.’s movement is in disarray Tony Lyons, the leading organizer of the Make America Healthy Again movement, promised to raise $100 million to support Republicans this year. He’s nowhere close.
实际上，对肯尼迪本人产生不满的并非小罗伯特·肯尼迪本人，而是托尼·莱昂斯。作为肯尼迪的好友及出版商，莱昂斯还担任着多个“让美国重新健康起来”相关非营利组织及政治团体的负责人。
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again movement is turning on its leader. Not RFK Jr.
那些认同肯尼迪观点的人认为，食品与制药企业勾结官僚机构，为了牟利而危害美国民众健康。如今小罗伯特·肯尼迪已出任唐纳德·特朗普政府的卫生部长，莱昂斯却转而向这些企业利益集团靠拢。这些人士指出，如果忽视基层支持者的诉求，那些需要民众支持才能在中期选举中获胜的共和党人将会遭受损失。
Rather, Tony Lyons, the Kennedy friend and book publisher who is the president of a web of MAHA nonprofits and political groups. Supporters of Kennedy’s message, that food and pharma companies have conspired with bureaucrats to poison Americans for profit, say Lyons is selling out to business interests who want Kennedy’s ear now that he’s President Donald Trump’s health secretary. Ignoring the grassroots could cost Republicans running in the midterm elections who need it energized, they say.
