Frida Ghitis: Fun and games are a good bet to break out during confirmation hearings for President-elect Trump ’s Cabinet nominees.

Ghitis says Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a vaccine denier who once claimed to have a worm in his brain and admitted driving around with a dead bear.

She says every senator who votes to confirm Kennedy is complicit in the harm he will cause to public health and the lives of children.

Juan Williams : The audience will be on edge to see if Republican senators who fear alienating Trump are willing to defy him and reject any of his nominees.

The difference between fun television and reality will hit when unvaccinated children are crippled.

Williams : Trump ’s nominees threaten to replicate such incompetence on a far greater scale across the federal government.
