Mike Pence on Monday called for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign amid controversy over how Kennedy has handled the departments safety review of the abortion pill.
Secretary Kennedy should step aside and give President Trump the opportunity to select a new HHS Secretary who will deliver pro-life results for the American people! the former vice president said in a Monday statement.
Advancing American Freedom Foundation, a right-wing political organization founded by Pence, released a memo on Monday detailing why Kennedy should step down, and painted the HHS secretary as a progressive wolf in pro-life sheeps clothing.
Republicans gave RFK Jr a chance and he has failed, the memo, first reported by Real Clear Politics, reads. RFK Jr was confirmed under the belief that he would protect vulnerable women and children ― not to pursue four more years of progressive pro-abortion policies at HHS. RFK Jr. must go.

(22,149 posts)Pence has always been a raging forced birth lunatic. That was his chief issue as governor of Indiana, and he hasn't changed one bit since then.
He has a lot of nerve, though, pretending that denying women bodily autonomy equals "protecting" then. The paternalistic condescension implicit in that is thick enough to cut with a knife.
