Robert Kennedy Jr. opposes allowing trans women to compete in female sports
The New York Post ^ | 04/29/2023 | Katherine Dunlevy

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in a new interview that he does not support transgender females participating in women’s sports.

The Democrat told CNN on Saturday that “biological males” threaten the integrity of women’s athletics.

“I am against people participating in women’s sports who are biologically male,” Kennedy, 69, said,

“I think women who have worked too hard to develop women’s sports over the past 30 years I watched it happen and I don’t think that’s fair.”

Kennedy — who announced his candidacy April 19 — said his lack of support for transgender participation is just one of the many issues he and President Biden “differ really dramatically.”

A Biden administration proposal introduced earlier this month aimed to forbid schools and colleges across the county from enacting outright bans on transgender athletes.

Last week, however, House Republicans passed a bill that would ban transgender female athletes from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports by amending Title IX protections to only apply to biologically female athletes.

Not a single Democrat supported the measure, though 10 refused to cast votes.

Biden said he would veto the bill if it were to land on his desk. *** “I think our country’s heading in a bad direction, and that’s why I’m running,” the nephew of late President John F. Kennedy and son of former US attorney general and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate Robert Kennedy said.

He’s a liberal and I disagree with him on a number of things, but he’s right about this and he’s probably the most sensible Democrat candidate.

The truth is, you're the liar and or fraud.

The truth is that you are a gullible fool. My little finger knows more about Covid and the vaccines than your pea sized brain.

I love President Trump and have stated repeatedly that I believe that he is currently our country's best hope. But he does have some faults which are going to weigh down his efforts to regain the presidency.

Kennedy supports the Climate Change agenda

He would be a disaster as president. Our country is on the precipice and the left is using misinformation and hoaxes to push us over the edge.

He keeps this up and he might end up with the same fate as his father. The loony left will be in a rage over this

He has claimed he’s clarified his statement about jailing Climate Change Deniers but I can’t find it
