Kennedy plans to announce the phasing out of petroleum-based synthetic dyes as a “major step forward in the Administration’s efforts to Make America Healthy Again” the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said on Monday.

No exact dates for the changes were provided, but HHS said Kennedy would announce more details at a news conference on Tuesday.

The dyes – which are found in dozens of foods, including breakfast cereals, candy, snacks and beverages – have been linked to neurological problems in some children.

“Unfortunately, Democrats are using this as an opportunity to sow division and scare the American people,” claimed McDaniel on Fox Nation’s “Reality Check with David Webb.”

Webb pointed to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ recent call to make any future coronavirus vaccine available to Americans for free, as evidence of the president’s critics politicizing a public health emergency.

“Of course, that means you’ll have to wait till January 2021 when he’s inaugurated,” said Webb.

“They’ve tried everything. It’s Russian collusion, obstruction obsession, go on and on. Ukraine, you name it. To weaponize people’s health, is this a new low for Democrats?” asked Webb.

“Absolutely,” McDaniel argued. “And to try and stoke the fears of Americans and to push frenzy into the marketplace is not good for our country. This is a time where we should be united. Get the facts to the American people, make sure that we’re putting their health and safety first, but working across party lines, the president’s willing to do that.”

McDaniel observed that Trump ordered proactive, protective measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus two months ago and he was criticized for it.

“[Trump’s] taken courageous steps like he did when he shut the ports down in January,” said McDaniel, “which at the time Joe Biden said that was racist and xenophobic, shutting them down to China, shutting down air travel to China.”

On Jan. 31, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced that some non-U.S. citizens who had traveled to China in the prior two weeks were barred from entering the U.S.

On that same day, former Vice President Joe Biden was addressing the coronavirus outbreak during a campaign rally in Iowa and said, “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.”

Some commentators have argued that it is unclear if Biden was specifically referencing the Trump administration’s travel restrictions.

“Dr. Fauci has said that [the travel restrictions] absolutely limited the spread of this virus through this country,” said McDaniel, in reference to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“I do think it’s reassuring to see someone like Dr. Fauci, who has worked with many administrations, including under President Obama, coming forward and saying this administration has taken the steps necessary and let’s communicate to the public the real concerns that they should have and the precautions they should take,” she continued.

McDaniel also argued that it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to add nearly $6 billion to a coronavirus spending bill that Trump signed last week.

“Democrats are going to use this to their political advantage,” she said. “With President Trump’s election, they have tried at every turn to try and undermine his presidency and to do it now at this time when people are afraid because this is a new virus… I think is a new low for the Democrat Party.”

US CORONAVIRUS EVACUEES BEING KEPT UNDER 14-DAY QUARANTINE, CDC SAYS

In the same press conference, the Department of Homeland Security announced that starting on Sunday, flights coming to the U.S. from China will be funneled through seven airports that are equipped to screen passengers for symptoms of the virus.

The move comes as Delta Air Lines and American Airlines suspended flights between the U.S. and China, following several other international airlines who made similar announcements. United Airlines said that it was suspending flights to Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu, but would continue flying to Hong Kong.

Officials continued to stress that the overall risk to the American public remains low, but that the measures being taken are to help “focus efforts as we are dealing with unknowns.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, said that one of the unknowns is the recent development out of Germany that the virus can be transmitted from an infected person who is asymptomatic.

The announcement comes just hours after the CDC said the 195 passengers who arrived in California on a flight from China on Wednesday were being kept under a 14-day quarantine as they are continually monitored for symptoms.

As of Friday, there had been more than 9,600 confirmed cases of the coronavirus with over 200 deaths. Officials said that the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. remains at six, with the latest being an Illinois man whose wife was diagnosed with the virus after traveling to Wuhan, which is considered the epicenter of the outbreak.
