RFK Jr. takes disastrous position on child transgender issue

“In a recent video interview1, Kennedy was pressed on children undergoing transgender treatments. At first, Kennedy declared that children should not be allowed to receive these treatments without parents’ permission.

Kennedy then says (amazingly, pleading ignorance) that he doesn’t know enough about the transgender drugs involved. He repeats this for emphasis. What??”
