Health secretary nominee once identified as ‘pro-choice’ but said he agrees with Trump ‘every abortion is a tragedy’
Robert F Kennedy Jr, Donald Trump’s nominee for health secretary, faced questions about his flip-flopping on reproductive rights in a US Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
Kennedy identified as “pro-choice” during his presidential campaign as a Democrat, but said repeatedly in Wednesday’s hearing for secretary of health and human services (HHS) that he agreed with Trump that “every abortion is a tragedy”.
