Rep. Jerry Nadler accused Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of antisemitism on Thursday after the health secretary said he believed “early circumcisions” were a cause of autism.
“Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol,” Kennedy said in a meeting about his push to discourage the use of Tylenol among pregnant women over autism concerns, which has drawn widespread concern among medical professionals over its lack of evidence. President Donald Trump, who was present, said there was ample evidence for Kennedy’s concern but neither man cited any.
Kennedy, who has previously drawn antisemitism allegations over his comments about COVID-19, did not mention Jews in his comments. But circumcision is closely associated with Judaism. Traditional Jewish law requires the medical procedure to be performed on boy babies when they are eight days old as a signifier of their bond with the Jewish people. Male converts to Judaism also undergo circumcision.
“This is an antisemitic remark. I call on all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to clearly denounce it,” tweeted Rep. Jerry Nadler, the New York City Jewish Democrat, about Kennedy’s comments.
Most Americans choose to circumcise their male children, although the circumcision rate has fallen sharply in recent years. Among them, Jews actually tend to perform the procedure later, as most circumcisions are performed in hospitals soon after birth. The procedure and recuperation from it does not always require the use of painkillers.
A small movement aims to normalize eschewing circumcision among Jews, who have one of the highest circumcision rates of any demographic group in the country.

Nadler’s head needs a circumcision.
I've never heard a woman say, "He'd get it more often if there was more skin on it."
It was a criticism of Tylenol use, not circumcision. The idiot needs to comprehend what he’s hearing.
Boys have been circumcised for 1000s of years. Often a day or so after birth in the US. Autism is a recent development, I therefore doubt a relationship between the two.
I am Protestant, and I was circumcised... Born 1953... And I guess I turned out OK... ;)
So, maybe it is the Tylenol. Aren’t there other pain relievers for kids?
False. He said routinely administering Tylenol to a 2 day old male child being circumcised was the issue. Not the circ.
Infant females do not receive Tylenol in the newborn nursery
This idiot and dozens of idiot so-called journalists. Tylenol<->autism is two-week-old news. They want today's clicks, so they lead with "circumcision".
We are experiencing IDIOCRACY. We are on Clown World.
C'mon, Giant Meteor of Death! It's time!
They probably didn’t give you Tylenol. Was it invented yet?
Nadler - Change your undies. Your arse made a deposit...
Jewish tradition (depending on sect) is eight days after birth.
Nadler would have really been upset if Kennedy said circumcision leads to obesity and anal incontinence.
I was given children’s aspirin - orange flavored
Dang, all I got was a shot of whisky and an attaboy
I doubt if Nadler even knows whether he is circumcised.
My grandfather gave my dad and aunts a drink of beer (He worked for Anhauser-Busch)
Nadler probably can’t see his own implement except in a mirror
