Today’s episode of The View got rather interesting…
No, Alyssa Farah Griffin did not wear a MAGA hat like she promised she would if President Trump freed the Israeli hostages (boo!)
But, RFK Jr.’s wife Cheryl Hines appeared as a guest, and the ladies used it as a chance to grill her about her husband’s positions on things like vaccines and Tylenol.
At one point, Whoopi Goldberg tried to pull a quick ‘gotcha’ by claiming that RFK Jr. should not be the head of the HHS because he is “not a doctor.”
But, Cheryl Hines shut her down immediately, schooling her on the facts.
“90% of Secretaries of the HHS have not been doctors,” Hines said.
That’s when Whoopi pulled a page from the George Stephanopolous playbook, cutting her off and going to commerical break!
Watch the moment here:
The View’s Whoopi Goldberg cuts to commercial break right after getting DESTROYED by Cheryl Hines, wife of RFK Jr.
WHOOPI: “[RFK Jr.] is not a doctor.”
HINES: “90% of Secretaries of HHS have not been doctors.”
WHOOPI: “We have to take a break.”

Cheryl Hines is right, by the way.
The notion that RFK Jr. is not qualified for the position of Health and Human Services Secretary because he doesn’t have a medical degree is absolutely ludicrous.
In fact, the vast majority of HHS Secretaries have not been doctors and have not even come from medical backgrounds.
Grok broke it down:
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) was established in 1953, and renamed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in 1980 (with education functions split off). There have been 26 confirmed Secretaries as of October 2025, including predecessors under HEW. The table below lists them all, with service periods and whether they held a medical degree (MD or equivalent, indicating they were licensed physicians).
