WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his Health and Human Services secretary drew a rebuke Friday from his one-time Vice President Mike Pence.

In a statement on the appointment, Pence, who broke with Trump over the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and challenged him for the Republican nomination for president, said RFK Jr.'s selection was an affront to conservatives who oppose abortion.

"I believe the nomination of RFK Jr. to serve as Secretary of HHS is an abrupt departure from the pro-life record of our administration and should be deeply concerning to millions of Pro-Life Americans who have supported the Republican Party and our nominees for decades," Pence said through his issues advocacy organization Advancing American Freedom.


Kennedy's support for abortion rights has led to blowback from some conservatives since Trump formally announced the pick on Thursday. His stance on vaccines, which he has questioned the efficacy of, has otherwise roiled liberals and the medical profession.

Democrats are as unsure about Booby J's actual position on abortion rights
as the Republicans.... LOL

Funny that this is the issue that gives Republicans pause---
no, very predictable. They don't care about the people's health---
only that all their underlings support their suppositions about
the "correct" positions presumably handed down
by their sky god, as they interpret those positions
