"Thank you for your interest in this question," Levine said."Transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field with robust research and standards of care that have been developed. And if I'm fortunate enough to be confirmed as the assistant secretary of health I look forward to working with you and your office and coming to your office and discussing the particulars of the standards of care for transgender medicine.
"Will you make a more firm decision on whether or not minors should be involved in these decisions?" Paul asked Levine. "Senator, transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field and if confirmed to the position of assistant secretary of health, I would certainly be pleased to come to your office and to talk with you and your staff about the standards of care and the complexity of this field," Levine said.Later in the hearing, the committee chair, Democratic Sen.
Levine answered other questions at the hearing, mostly on her role as chief doctor for Pennsylvania during pandemic, her views on getting kids back into schools, the opioid epidemic and LGBTQ+ health equity.
Ban the GOP US Senator Ryan Paul from the US Congressional Committe.AuriaChrista
IT'S A HE NOT A HER! BORN WITH A PENIS AND MIND OF A VAGINA!
How were the questions inflammatory?
Inflammatory So the legit question about if children can make a decision about sex change that affects the rest of their life, yet can’t get stitches at the hospital without a parent’s consent. Yeah that’s a good question to deflect and wait for closed doors to answer.
Silence of the lambs 😳
What happened to science?
No she refused to answer the question
'inflammatory'...That's our media's take on it.
This dude is deceiving himself. You're a man stop this nonsense.
But why didn't Levine answer the question?
Yeah, curious how Levine gets around that chromosome thing?
This thing is a disgusting disgrace to the American People.
Wake up parents!!! Nice spin ABC!!
'people like Rand Paul' deserve answers to those questions. Why wouldnt she answer. The question wasnt unusual. It's one on many minds. She obviously understands what it involved
America becomes a joke by choosing those kind of person to be the head of health department in Sleepy Joe’s administration, haha
We live in strange times!! If mankind left to his own unguided instincts, we would eat our own flesh, that's why we need guidance from all mighty. Shocking !!!!!!!!!!
She didn't answer the questions tho
This man needs help
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Refused to answer the Senator;s question about giving hormones to minors without parental permission. She/he is dangerous
Mr. Pau Rand has guts...sad how something like that is being normalized subtlety. 🤔
Mental illness is real. It’s like it staring right at you... in the mirror... any mirror... you... just like Biden... have balls... nobody wants
If We, review the article; Levine tactfully & quite literally uses the word 'complexities'. Due to senators naivete & lack of proper verbiage & perceptions, he left her no choice but to answer as she did. Cases where minor's involved, must be individually dealt with.
Not fit for any office!!! Can’t answer questions because it doesn’t have an answer! 😂😂😂
Actually she refused to answer direct questions about things that she has been very vocal about in the past.
Good luck.
Responded? She couldn’t even answer a simple bloody question!
Child abuser!!
Omg this is getting out of hand.
My response to her would have been “All I need to know about Gender Science I learned in The Bible”. Thank you for your time.
You don’t need to have an MD or a PHD to realize this man/woman/whatever should not be in the decision process for anything.
That’s not exactly what happened.
Another way to say this is Levine avoided a direct question
Another whack job!
She dodged the question. I expect better form my leadership.
He reminds me of Josef Mengele
But he she/he didn’t answer the question.
Screw transgenders it is not fit for office.
Wait, what? What exactly is pictured? Can someone honestly explain!?!
She had no answer for his questions and was totally scared. She defends giving children hormones and sex change before puberty. I think its child abuse. A doctor cant prescribe cannabis but can give a child hormone blockers? WTF?
That ain't no she,,get it right.
Ya know, this head line truly makes me sick knowing that y’all support child sexual mutilation for young children. Honestly, anyone who supports this crap is messed up in the head.
Obviously, Senator Paul is the last in DC with any balls... pun intended
Mutilation isn’t an inflammatory question. He couldn’t even answer it. He’s a piece of crap!! He doesn’t believe in science!! He will NEVER have a uterus, ovaries or have children. He probably still has to have his prostate checked.
Don't
Richard Levine killed thousands of people in nursing homes, while he took his mother out and put her in a hotel with 24 hour nursing care. This was before Tom Wolf implemented his Covid19 positive patients back into nursing homes.
I agree with Rand.
It wasn’t inflammatory, it was a question he did not answer. BTW...Rachel is a boy. God doesn’t make mistakes.
He asked her a straight question about allowing irreversible sex change to minors without parental consent.... which she supports. You can’t give a minor an aspirin without parental consent. I saw the clip you are not reporting the truth...
She behaved very professionally.
But dodged his question more than one time. No thank you.
Mental complexity of genital mutilation.
Honestly he asked it if it was ok for a underage child Be allowed to alter their natural sex by means that have no long term study’s
'She' was a married man who has children. Someone needs to talk about the complexities of adult mental illness.
The party of science
This is insane and her response was pathetic. She could not even answer a basic question. Transgender/gender dysphoria is a real mental illness. How sad that this lie is being placed on children. When did it become healthy to mutilate healthy biological cells?
He. He’s a man. Stop asking people to live his lie.
Male to Female, is still a male except that he is taking dugs to change parts of his body. Surgery top and bottom, he is still a male, same as if it was Female to Male. The internals are the same for both, because nothing was changed on the insides.
Coverup - listen to the REAL QUESTIONING
GOP abandoned ethics of the Party Of Lincoln and now is bought / paid for by D J Trump who practices winning over all no matter what it takes even if built on lies, avarice, and breaking the laws of Democracy and Christianity. He promised to drain the swamp , but made it worse,
No. Talk about it with your mothers--boys and girls don't want their body parts torn apart!
I hope she is voted down. Absolutely bottom of the barrel! Have we really lowered ourselves to this?
Said the crazy thing that thinks it’s female!! Dumborats at its best
This person avoided answering the question directly and used the same response as a way to avoid providing straight forward answers. Spin the news...spin!
Who you think you are is not a medical question. It is a psychological and psychiatric one. Especially during physical, psychological and emotional development that normally isn’t complete until a human’s mid 20’s.
Inflammatory questions Any support of child mutation should not be tolerated!!!
Politely declining to disavow child genital mutilation what a sweetheart
Not a she, HE .
No it refused to answer the question about messing up minors with the drugs and hormones.
Yes or no!
Please people that thing you call a her is the abomination!!!!
His questions where not yes or no answer. Transgender is a very complicated personal decision. Paul only ask those questions because he is like all trumplican. Only like white men. Trumplican think no one else has any rights or deserve any rights
Since Dr. Levine is a person of science, wouldn’t one think that he would know that there are only two genders? That’s one ugly ladyman.
He’s a guy dressed as a woman...
Levine won't commit to her position on genital mutilation of minors so she dodges the question. There, I fixed it for you.
“She”
This country is lost.
Inflammatory? I guess just asking a trans person a legitimate real world question is considered inflammatory. Course if you ask a poc a legitimate question they have no answer for you're a racist. It's how you shut up people with legitimate concerns and questions.
She is certainly more intelligent than Rand Paul. Is he another one that maybe should join Cruz in Cancun!?
It’s a fucking HE ....
She did not answer the question
Gross
If you need to be 18 to vote then it should be the same for a sex change!
The questions were straight forward but she kept repeating her statement of working with him and I hope they do because we're looking at human rights here. Child mutilation as a social norm is worth discussing openly
TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸
U.K. is leading this critical discussion on Children consenting to Medical Transitioning. BBC ARTICLE: U.S. needs to start being critical now. WATCH THE VIDEO👇
She/ He is evel!! A child abuser...
It did a horrible job in Pennsylvania
I didn’t think the questions were inflammatory at all. In fact this topic requires careful study and discussion.
The minute you ask them a question they don’t want to answer you quickly get labeled Racist or Transphobic
Translation didn’t your no longer journalists. She didn’t answer the question. Her past comments are damming and she avoided the answer
Yes but she never answered the question. Not after he repeated it several times. So although polite, we still don’t know where she stands on a very important issue.
Nature balancing itself I guess
I'm sure Levine has more balls than those 43 coward republicans that acquitted their master
She?
This is ridiculous! And goes against my unborn sense of reality.
The dude didn't answer the question
Spin spin spin your web of deceit and lies
'inflammatory'
This is a sick world we now live in
No. HE avoided the question by giving the exact same canned response every time.
And how HE is ok with letting children destroy their body’s with having to let their parents know!
He is a sick man.
Do better . Your bias is on full display for anyone who saw the exchange. Your hero, was like a robot repeating verbatim what IT memorized.
The Biden social experiment.
Talk about shock value, what does genitalia mutilation have to do with Levine’s ability to do the job Biden wants her for? Rand Paul is completely off topic and his intolerance is showing! What a tool.
No she refused to answer the question. To frame it the way you did proves you are 100 political hacks
First transgender? Someone who wants to switch gender. Is there transrace? Someone who wants to switch race. Is there trans age? Someone who wants to switch age. What about species? Where does it end?
Disagree the question was inflammatory
Is a 'Minor Attracted Person' a protected orientation? Asking for a friend.
Wait a minute… I thought libertarians were supposed to be all about personal autonomy? Do your own thing, the government needs to butt out? Seems Rand is all about getting in other peoples business. Probably why his elderly neighbor kicked the shit out of him a few years back.
Cutting off your PENIS DONT MAKE YOU A WOMEN JUST SAYING THE FACTS.
SICK SO SICK N TWISTED. HE IS TRYING TO DESTROY KODS LIFE BECAUSE HE DESTROYED HIS OWN
we are disgusted, stop the madness!
She is gonna be asst secretary of health, I don't understand why people think it's bigoted to ask her questions that pertain to her job.
Let’s play show and tell wack his nuts off on CNN
Inflammatory? What a joke. ABCGarbage
What do you mean 'she', it's a guy! He can identify all he wants but there is absolutely nothing feminine about that creep.
She showed nothing but grace. Shame on Rand Paul!
I respect Dr. Levine.
But “she” is a “ HE” but ok...
Maybe she could have politely answered the very straight forward question? (We know why she didn't)
That thing avoided answering the question.
AbiyAhmedAli & his Government tries its best to overcome the problem in Tigray. International Community should help than disseminate fake report! AmnestyUsedTPLFSources ShameOnAmnesty JoeBiden SecBlinken VP KamalaHarris JosepBorrellF JustinTrudeau
We cannot teach stupidity stupid RandPaul it’s already engraved in their forehead lol
What!!!! A transgender person for this job🤔🤔🤔
inflammatory? the question reply wasnt even teed up for 'well it depends.' it was a 'yes' or 'no' and levine gave neither. and abc suggests the question was 'bad.'
It was a yes or no question
He. He is a he with a mental illness.
dude refused to answer the question...twice
HA! Don't piss on my feet and tell me it's raining, ABC News
The complexities of messing up kids.
The people of the United States deserve to know Levine’s opinion on this. Paul simply asked if Levine supports the Federal Government bypassing the parents approval in cases where minors want to undergo conversion treatments.
True journalism is dead.
He couldn’t answer a simple question.
He is male right
An opinion from a news network. How quaint.
I understand that Rand Paul is an Ophthalmologist. If I were having eye surgery I’d go to anybody but him.
Seemed more like Levine refused to comment as to whether children have the legal or moral capacity to make decisions regarding whether their genitals ought to be mutilated, or whether they should be chemically castrated.
If that's a woman, I'm a zeppelin.
Is this .. for real. Media is morally bankrupt
The question from RandPaul was “Do you believe minors are capable of making such life changing decisions as changing ones sex?” The only right answer to that is “No”. Period
Didn't answer the question though.
What dishonest pieces of garbage you are
Nice spin. Gay kids are not born in the wrong body, nor is any child. Spare us your big Pharma carving knives.
He asked a basic yes or no question and Levine wouldn’t answer it, and this is how the media spins the incident. 😆
Wrong. She's a proponent of child abuse.
She never answered
But we’re is that elusive laptop and we are sending our troops overseas again
Freak
Refusing to answer a question like the one she specializes in, is like refusing to talk about your resume during a job interview 🤦🏽♀️
Yay for mutilating child genitals!!
Yeah because that should be a priority. Who cares about peoples actual health
The world we live in now
Did RachelLevine answer RandPaul question whether minors should determine their medical treatment? NO. What has perceived politeness got to do with principles, honesty and logic when dealing with the complexities of children's lives in today's world?
People with mental health issues should not ne holding any important positions of our government.
I no am as much of a doctor as he is a chick!
Failed to answer the question posed.
While I respect you. Just saying, Get a makeover!!!!
Funny how God makes having two genders look so easy.
You said she😂😂😂😂😂
Does anyone that is ignorantly commenting have children themselves? Does Rand Paul have children? If the answer is yes to either than they should already know the answer to that question.
There is a zero percent t chance Rand Paul poses these questions to someone who is non-transgendered. This was an especially repugnant display of bigotry.
Rand Paul’s only goal was to antagonize her. Levine held her own and she did it with grace.
Let’s be honest here. She would not answer a direct and specific question she was asked and instead spun it around. If she wants the job she has to be more direct in my opinion. agreetodisagree
He also would not respond to the senators question of does he support sexual organ mutation in children as young as 4
But this is a man. Why call it a “she?”
He ain't gonna do that
For those who are having a hard time accepting that Dr. Levine is a woman, look no further than how men in power are treating her. There’s your sign.
I hope all of you haters never have to go through the mental and emotional anguish of having been born into the wrong body. A little compassion would go a long way.
He’s so sexy
I identify as a corrupt rich politician living off zombies like a parasite
Of course it would be from the asshole who was assaulted by his neighbor for being an asshole
Good for her ! Stick to your guns , did a great job in PA !
Fine...but she didn’t answer his question!
Levine did respond that way all the question was do Levine believe kid lets say 5 years old should be able to make the adult choice of what to do with their bodies and all this one would answer is id like to work with you to go over the meds its either yes or no
Does anyone understand that this an is issue of mental health, not a physical deformity. You can’t fix a dysphoria with surgery, no matter what current cultural society thinks. It is a personal disorientation identity issue. Of course so is elitism.
She sidetracked. Avoided answering the questions. JERK.
This is sickening. This person is broken. Something not right here. Not our responsibility to understand what wires are connected wrong. I don’t believe this guy should be treated poorly but his views and beliefs should not change policies for the rest of us.
Why are most WOMEN defending This? Its a MAN taking a WOMANS JOB AWAY!!! WTF
Woukd you let tgat dude watch your kids No Why the fuk not Just a psychopath in a wig. What do you have to worry about
It’s not a she wtf he’s a dude 🤮🤮🤮
God made transgender people too. Someone whether it is a child, teen, or an adult who does not feel comfortable in his or her how body should NOT/NEVER be told that there is something wrong with them because there IS NOT anything Wrong with them.
She didnt answer the question
No shim ducked the question. Period
K everyone in America personal choice to live in thier Owen way that why must of us live in our Owen religion and our Owen family tradition in christ we live in his way for in our house we live and serve our lord and saver as long as that doesn’t change we’re good k
What really amuses me about this is that in any other scenario, as a libertarian, he would insist that the government should stay out of decisions within families and between families and their doctors. Well this and abortion. Hypocrite 🖕🏻
This thing didn’t answer a question. Has nothing to do with being polite. She would allow a 10 year girl to start taking testosterone without parental consent - which is disgusting because it’s a biased transgender. Already playing politics with serious health questions.
It doesn’t matter what’s being discussed Rand Paul always comes off as a douche, it’s who he is.
CHILDREN DON’T GET GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!! Stop it. Read. STFU
Is this a joke? Levine flat out evaded a simple question about minors’ access to body and life-altering medicine without their parents’ permission.
That thing is disturbing
I’m so proud of Dr Levine. I live in Pa & she had to deal w/people like Rand Paul throughout this pandemic. she rose above them as well & did amazing work for us in this state. I can’t wait to see what she does in this position. I will miss her daily reminders.
Levine is a SHE. There is NOTHING Wrong if someone is transgender. Has anyone ever learned about Gender Dysphoria? If not look it up. And she Did answer the question. Rand Paul just didn’t like what he was hearing fron HER.
Classy lady. How horrifying to be grilled by rude assholes.
She responded by not answering the question. The positive spin applied 2 this hearing by the mainstream media is breathtaking. Dr Levine refused 2 answer whether minors would receive puberty blocking drugs from the federal govt over the objections of parents - & you celebrate it?
Levine is screwed up in the head and our country has no place for something like this to make health decisions!
Rand Paul, demonstrating the qualities that make him such a great neighbor.
Rand Paul is nothing compared to what Levine has had to deal with.
This just disgusts me that not only is this she/he dodging questions but who will protect the children whose parents have s remedies them out of their real sex in which God intended. Allow this transgender bs started with Obama.
Not exactly-the human absolutely did not answer the question. The human replied in a condescending way and tone and deflected and would not answer. Please stop lying and trying to gaslight. The human should not serve in this capacity.
Hello ladies.
More like arrogant! Levine needs to settle HIS confused mind before trying to make decisions for children!
2 genders and I strongly believe that there’s a male and female that’s all there’s gay and bi and lesbian nothing else 2 genders like stop with this trans stuff it’s a joke🤣
Minors. Listen abc.
No. He dodged the question
If being trans was natural there wouldn’t be a need for complicated medicine. No?
Transgenderism is fake. It’s made up for mental people. You are what God made you and you can never change that. Playing dress up and having surgeries will never change that. I pray for people like him who think otherwise.
They just refused to answer any of his reasonable questions about gender reassignment surgery for children.
He*
It’s a He with a Mental Disorder!!!!
We’re just going to pretend like this is all perfectly normal aren’t we?
And refused to clarify her position
You misspelled he
She/he did respond politely, but didn’t answer the question
She took that bs with so much more grace than I could have mustered. Way to go 😍
Isn't RandPaul a dentist?
I thought this was deesnider at a glance! 😧
She did a great job! RandPaul Why not meet with her? You might learn something. Are you afraid?
One had class, the other was an......
What a fucking freak
RandPaul was truly showing his ignorance at that moment and he should be embarrassed by his references to genital mutilation. I’m sympathetic to the internal conflict a transgender person must feel. Shame on you for your desperate and feeble attempts of discredit.
Because if you are the one attacked by bigotry, any strong reaction is used by the attacker to justify the hatred.
Nation of mentally ill freaks!
I like her. I wish I could give her a hug.
He
Deviants want everyone to join them in their misery. Keep deviant perverts away from our children. Biden is sick for choosing a deviant to advise normal people on health .
“Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.” Oscar Wilde
I still don’t want this dude in girls’ lockers ..... period.
In a mannerly way. Republicans just don’t get it. Do they?!!!!’
Genital mutilation. Call it what it is.
Hi! If you have a following; please retweet my pinned, if you have the means please donate, if you cannot do either or both please comment on my pinned tweet it boosts the algorithm so that I can be found. Thank you 🥺
If we are letting science lead isn’t this a man? Serious question
'Politically correct' individuals may find acceptable, politicians intervention in gender relate issues. The judgement of history, will be different, when objective impartial assessments will be made of the destructive social impact of the 'imposition' of political influences.
He
She isn’t a HE or an IT or a HE/SHE. If my name was Robert and u called me Rob and I asked you to call me Bob and you refused that would make you a dick. Same here except you’re a bigoted dick. I couldn’t imagine not being happy with being born a man. Thank God I don’t have to
He didn’t answer Paul’s questions stop twisting words
Levine did not answer the question of whether children could usurp parental authority and amputate genitalia. This is not polite.
She completely avoided answering the question...and you call that responding nicely?WTF?
The truth is she never responded to any of this questions.
That is a dude. Not a she do you know anything about common sense? ABC is trash but staywoke.
I think Senator Rand was very rude to Ms. Levine his prejudice was apparent in his remarks.
This is a complete travesty
Like Rand Paul cares anything about science or facts. 🙄
She is a he. He is a man dressing in women’s clothes. How can anyone deny that?
Details. He, she, his, her responded by saying, 'IF I AM CONFIRMED (key phrase) I will be happy to meet you, Sen. Paul, in your office and discuss the matter.' The reply was a full and unequivocated rebuff to the question. Quite simply - F**k you, Dr. Paul, I don't agree w/you.
Don’t mess with PA’s Dr. Levine! She can take you down without even hurting you but you will be down. Rand Paul’s smirky arrogance will not affect her brilliance.
You left out the part where she said she would work with Sen Paul’s office only if she was confirmed. Big difference
This is disgusting...stick to the science. 2 genders period
She?
Lol. It dodged the question. The left revels in legal child abuse.
Very complex, if not impossible, to twist nature. Try to get pregnant now
It’s not for anyone to understand. We are meant to have empathy for our fellow humans. If you don’t identify as trans, then don’t be. If you don’t identify as LGBTQ, then don’t. If you don’t want an abortion, don’t have one. Other ppl feelings matter. bekind
He is supposedly a doctor and won’t wear a mask, do we actually believe he understands anything more complex than alphabet soup? The guy is a relic and only talks to make noise.
This dude needs to get a refund for his transgender medicine not looking to good lol!
As a citizen I would’ve liked to hear the answer to her question I don’t understand why she feels like she has to discuss it behind closed doors
Because Dr. Levine is a classy lady. Rand Paul is a disgrace to his medical title, his legislative position, his alleged political ideology, and his status of “human being”. Big fat fail all around.
Penis = Man. Vagina = Woman. Are you still confused?
She's so kind. I love her.
Paul was asking questions based on the American Society of Pediatrics own research so it was a perfectly reasonable ask. Levine deflected it and didn't answer directly. As long as Senate interrogations are part of confirmation hearings, this will happen over and over again.
It’s a he. Science remember
HE
Totally refused to answer and question asked of he/she. What a freaking joke, and ABC is a complete joke.
Levine has no issue with the mutilation of children’s genitals and it’s repulsive an adult can’t answer the question with a definitive answer.
Levine refused to answer questions at her confirmation hearing. She “politely” responded with robotic, memorized answers.
Rand Paul couldn't count his balls(if he had any) three times and get the same number twice. There is few bigger idiots on the planet.
We seem to be beginning to transform our species to one similar to an alien. No boy are girl, everyone will be pale grey in color. No emotion will be shown.
A translation: She's doing the best she can here with the enemies lined up against her. It's a pro forma to offer to talk sense, science, and medicine, but it's not to be ignored that it's falling on the ears of Rand Paul.
Invite Paul's neighbor to the discussion
U mean deflects questions that were harassment that if she wasn’t who she was wouldn’t be asked This is an abomination They were so disrespectful to her
😂🙄
Poĺitely (?) demanding to disect childrens tissue. Politely. Politely destroy physiology for ever.
The GOP needs enemies in order to declare themselves the misunderstood victims, there're very few things they can get any real leverage on without having to explain their bias toward high earners so they'll happily scrabble in the gutter at even the vaguest opportunity .
That's the problem just like abortions. Client and doctors business not mine not yours. Our responsibility to provide the best health care, thats it. None of our business
This is the end of the Biden presidency. Levine
That freak needs to move on! We don't need anything like that in government, it's already screwed up enough!
Glad you want to work together but there will never be a reason to have a young child change their body bc parents want it
But not in public for some reason
That’s not good enough HE should have been able to answer on the spot.
For starters- it's he not she because it's a guy with guy parts. Second- it's child abuse what that mentally ill person is suggesting.
This is a good response. At the end of the day, she’s a doctor who’s obviously been studying this field for a long time. Mental health professional’s recommendations for “gender dysphoria” is gender reassignment. Period. Trans people exist and will not be erased.
She has a ton of patience cause I would have went off on him.
The kook couldn’t answer any questions. Obviously it’s mentally ill. Just look at it
Levine is absolutely insane.
They would of roasted Trump with this partisan appointment
The amount of people confused about the difference between sex and gender is concerning.
Inflammatory? What part of his questions were inflammatory?
BidensAmerica
I don't know why people are putting this person down they haven't even meet. And if u don't have some good to say don't say anything. Do we still have to go back to kindergarten.
Perfectly legitimate question that she refused to answer. That should disqualify her.
❤️💪 to you Rachel! Great TRUE Americans have your back 🇺🇸💪❤️
That’s not a “she”. That’s a biological man and Rand Paul’s question is a legit question. America is going to hell because of this administration!
More power to her! 👏👏
No, she avoided answering his question. Geezus, try reporting the news instead of injecting your political slant.
Let me say I don’t understand any of this so I’m going to the comment section.
Rand Paul, MD? I don't think he'd understand
Rand Paul is disgusting! You will feel the pain you inflicted on this human being 10x over!
Rand Paul is simply a failed ophthalmologist, her brain would make his head explode!
Mam, at least get a decent stylist for hair.
Whatever it is I don’t know but I know where to go. Church! Pray for this country because God did not condone this to happen. Everyone needs to wake up and look at this person and see what is happening to our country.
Good im glad the freak
Wow Rand Paul is a jerk. This should be about qualifying nothing else!
God made them male and female. God will not be mocked. Pray for this person.
Thank you Senator Paul for asking important questions. Thank you for allowing Levine to show they are incapable of answering tough questions without giving a robot political response. This is NOT what our country needs.
She’s the dude with long hair correct?
Rachel Levine, he should just answer Rand Paul's questions.
RandPaul is a grotesque pig.
Republicans are not intelligent enough to understand diversity!!!!
Rand Paul is a nasty little fucker
Rand Paul declares he has a plan to protect all American penises, 'If you thought Antifa was bad, here comes 'Antipe' and they want your dingus. I know how to protect them. Using tweezers and a microscope, I consulted mine and he is afraid.' American penises rejected his offer.
Why is it inflammatory? It was a straight forward question
Why is it inflammatory? The questions were a test of knowledge?
toi men bt, nhug chi k thich nu gioi, gay cug la mot nguoi dan ong nhug ho thich dan ong thoi, k phai gay la phai eo la, giong con gai.
Bite me Rand. Times are a changing.
I don't have any issues with people dressing up as opposite sex, but don't tell me I have to accommodate you because you want to dress up
What does this have anything to do with her being able to do her job!!! This is discrimination at its fullest! Her change was her business and only her business! It was what was right for her!!
Rand Paul is an ass.
Did they ask Bill Barr why he mutilated his body by eating to much that his body changed it's 'natural' shape? P.S. I am not fat shaming, it's illustrating the ridiculousness of this line of questioning
I saw nothing wrong with asking the she/he the question. Fact, just because you transition from one sex to the other you can't change your DNA. You are still a man or woman, period
Such person should not be in any form or shape of governance, defiles the laws of God.
Shame on RandPaul for asking those irrelevant questions
If parents cannot understand the struggle that their child is going through between 10 and 14 years of age at school and support their decision of getting gender modification surgery then they need their child taken away so someone else can show that child true love.
Paul asked a legitimate and thoughtful question, and it should be answered. Not side stepped with a pre-written talking point. Children should be protected. Not used to justify politics or dysmorphia. The Senate should reject this nomination.
Why is this important? How about asking questions about her qualifications, experiences, etc? What other people do they ask about their surgeries? I’m so disappointed. RandPaul
Asking for sex alternations of children..13 years old !! What’s is happening in this world.
Rand Paul did the right thing to question a whether she would oppose a child from getting transgender surgery that would permanently alter their sex. How many times do children change their mind on who they want to be? Her non answer spoke volumes.
The answer is simple. It’s NO! And she even knows that. But he wanted to just push and push for no other reason than to be a jerk. And who cares what people do with their own lives.
This person should not get confirmed! Her views about minors is frightening.
I think Paul is one of the guys that his parents paid for his way through college because he obviously did not learn anything there. And you sure as hell can’t buy class.
My deepest apologies to Rachel Levine.
Deflect? It was a simple question. Does she support allowing minor children to make a decision about taking life altering hormones or surgically altering their sex? Can’t get a tattoo, but they can change their sex. SMH
One pays to give up his manhood and the other never had any to begin with! He is an unscrupulous disgusting individual to try and embarrass Dr. Levine.
Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE that the question was not answered!!! Not once but twice!!! Whatever Biden thought he was going to prove by appointing g this person just blew up in his face. We ALL should be outraged, no matter what side of the aisle!
If anyone wondered where the Republican Party stands on sexual orientation equality, all they had to do was listen to Read Paul...crystal clear message!
Paul has no empathy and is an embarrassment to the people of KY who believe in love not hate respecteveryone bekind WearAMask
Thank you Rand Paul for grilling her/him. She would not answer his question - she has no problem with a 3yr old changing from boy to girl so on and so on. sickening.
Is he wanting a similar surgery?
Good luck Rachel ❤️🇺🇸 I’m not sure why your choices are anyone’s business! I’m sorry for your struggle 😢
RandPaul a doctor that don't believed in science. He denied about covid and now your questioning about science?
What does this have to do with her job? If you know anything about a trans child and the procedures there is an age they can to start with parent consent and it differs per state. He’s a racist a.. it’s pretty sad our country is loaded with ignorance racism
Rand Paul is horrifying
Potential bigotry aside, the reason it's important to have these conversations objectively and from a position of neutrality is because it cannot be in the best interest of the mental or physical health of a child (or an adult) to promote a delusion.
Lol
Good for her. Would love for Senators to call him out directly on record as the bigot he repeatedly reveals himself to be. The question of informed consent of minors is an important one, but his motivation was clearly about badgering her for it's own sake.
The Left’s attempts to normalize sexual reassignment surgery or puberty blockers on minor children is child abuse and barbarism. ChildAbuse Transgenderism or ‘gender identity disorder’ was categorized as a psychiatric illness until 2013. GenitalMutilation DSM5
How about mental health
Didn’t “ mash” cover this ahaha
My son was in the army, served in no. Iraq. He said I don’t care who they are as long as they cover my A**. Isn’t that how we should feel. If you pass the tests you are ready. Period
Good someone’s gotta ask the tough questions
Genital mutilations r regularly present and absolutely legal in the US, it’s called circumcision!
I'm genuinely alarmed at all of you who think it was fine that Levine wouldn't answer the question on juvenile gender reassignment without parental consent
Strange Guy
Breaking news!! Rachel Levine introduces new tool for assisting transformation
the left is so screwed up
Paul once had a rational voice on fiscal conservatism but was clearly force fed a grump pill and has lost all reason.
She had no answer. Honestly looks pretty bad.
That seems a lot out of line
Rand Paul is sub-human.
...Dick !! Crazy bastard !! ....

Republicans are obsessed with genitalia
Only shows was a small man he is. It has nothing to do with decisions in the new position, only hatred toward someone he doesn’t understand. Time for littlerandy to go
He not be a she. She is a he. Get him a good psychiatrist to work through this issue.
I find it hysterical that the United States Secretary of Health is suffering from mental illness
Love u Rachel 😘😘
The GOP representatives just can’t stay away from our money and sex organs
Absolutely disgusting If this was a private sector job interview She could sue for discrimination RandPaul u are a disgusting non human
Hello. Republican senators have got to be told that outright insults and degrading statements and questions will not B tolerated. They gained support from donald trump on being ugly
Leave her alone! Grow up Rand Paul. Can you have surgery to de-bully yourself?
And that’s why RandPaul is a dumpster fire. He’s been added to the contest!! Go vote 🇺🇸
🤮🤮🤮
Honestly, I would not have answered and said ‘this has nothing to do with my competence at doing my job well. Next question.’
I elemeā is the Tantric godday to fr concee themselves from personal debt
Why? Who cares! As long as someone can do their job, so what! People’s personal lives have no place in business.
And he was a coward who did not respond!
There’s currently more important medical things to talk about that’s not transgender surgery. When we are done with Covid, then go badger her with Trans stuff, but right now we need to end Covid
So a person over health for the US looks to be very unhealthy and overweight! Needs to release all medical records.
the Republicans strategy is to intimidate, and defragment, atrocious.
16 yo to drive, 18 yo to smoke, 21 yo to drink. 3 yo to chop the genitals off. you've gone too far, abc. americans are not going to stand for this.
Probably smelled like grilled wieners.
What do we expect from Shit starter Rand Paul? Hey look Rand there’s your neighbor! 👀
If by inflammatory question you me a direct question asking if she agreed that minors should be allowed to have their breasts and generals removed, among other treatments, yes, she was asked, and no, she did not answer yea or nay. This is horrifying. They’re children
RandPaul you brought up a great point, it should be illegal for parents to mutilate (circumcise) a baby boys penis or maybe you forgot about that one.
Dr. Levine reacted gracefully and professionally. RandPaul acted like a schoolyard bully - rude and inappropriate. Nothing short of sexual harassment and highly unethical. SenateGOP HouseGOP
Share his video, unedited! Please! Why? Because he was SPOT ON.
Omg gross
Rand Paul is a freak
POTUS I am not a Rand Paul fan, at all. However, his question regarding allowing a minor to make like changing decisions, w/out parental concent, is a legit question which I support. It is a shame Dr. Rachel Levine would not answer. I hope she is not approved for the office.mpov
I would appreciate it if people kept their personal business to themselves. Seriously. What is the point in all the laws to protect an individual's privacy if no one can keep their surgeries, and sexual preferences to themselves. Where's the law to protect me from hearing it?

I have no problem with people being homosexual. However I draw the line when it comes to those wanting to drag me into their delusions.
RandPaul is a dildo. I’d call you a dick but you aren’t real enough. LGBTQ are better than you.
What kind of weirdo names their son Rachel?
Is 'Minor Attracted Person' an orientation?
Which of the 1,000 genders is they going to and from
I like the clap back.
'Grilled'?! She was harassed. That was a gross, ill-informed tirade from someone who is more concerned with people’s genitalia (wtf) than their mental and emotional wellbeing. Disgusting.
The Biden side show.
She's great! Rand Paul is not!
Who is Rand Paul?
Why do people show the trans community so much hatred and ignorance? Transgender individuals should be honored for facing a difficult situation they were born into, not demeaned and degraded! Treat people with the same empathy and respect you expect from others!!
That dude Rachel is so nasty.
I'm sure 'Dr' Paul was enthralled by the science
Frauds, mentals, FAKE
Wait, republicans are asking medical questions, when they've spent the past year denying the science in how to survive this pandemic? What big words can't they comprehend today? They're too dim to understand any of her answers, & she shouldn't have to give them any.
Senator Paul as a Doctor himself, intentionally blurred the lines between transgender surgery and genital mutilation. He shamelessly abandons his role as a doctor and misrepresents a medical procedure which is elective and not coerced such as genital mutilation.
It’s ok to force it on 5 year old boys who play with dolls. They’ll thank you later.
Paul asked a simple question. This thing refused to answer.
This is what I hate about the MSM. A perfect example of Bias reporting. The FACTs are the headline, but couldn’t resist with the subjective adjective “inflammatory”. The NEWS is supposed to present unbiased facts. This is an opinion piece and NOT unbiased news.
He asked a simple and important question and Levine didn’t answer.
Love all these responses. He asked if the doctor agreed that toddlers ... children under 5 should be able to take sex transition drugs? The doctor did not answer. It was not disrespectful it was a question that needed an answer. And if all of you think that’s ok than scary !
It doesn’t matter what ones beliefs are concerning transgender. All reasonable humane people will stand with Rand Paul 100% on this! Anyone who does not is a real threat to all children.
Rand Paul is actually a doctor tho. Unlike this 'thing'
Rand Paul is ignorant and a disgrace. Doctor Levine. 🎤 drop
Not inflammatory or grilled. He ask a critical question and she didn’t answer it.
It was a disgrace of LIVINES BLATANT DISREGARD FOR CHILDREN. In my opinion and many others, see LIVINE IS INEPT with being flat out aloof it was comical yet embarrassing for our country
None of his business.
Paul should be asked about his frontal lobotomy! Route_60plus
Kat_Missouri She should have asked Paul what his specific medical credentials were and if he was certified by a recognized board.
WTF does that have to do with the duties of the job🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ get rid of these sexual sadist
CATHERINENEVER2 Actually, he was insulting her by equating reassignment surgery to genital mutilation. He's an a&$hat! She's a shero!
FoxNews SenKevinCramer Senate GOP needs to OWN the 500,000 Person Deathly Milestone of COVID-They had NO backbone & let DT do as he pleased as 500,000 DIED-Friends & Family-All because of the Failed GOP-No leaders just scum-All in it for themselves-NOT 4 hard working Americans-
On kids... you left out ON KIDS!!
If you're going to get a job just because you're trans then you shouldn't have a problem talking about it especially when your supporting it.
Why - is RandPaul interested in taking the plunge?
RandPaul was a complete disgrace today. Such putrid rhetoric.
Conservatism is a learning disorder.
Sick
“Inflammatory” =should minors be able to get major surgery/ hormone therapy. Don’t like the guy but Jesus
The questions should be answered.
Rand Paul is a tool, or at least a wing nut.
Ever wondered what Kentucky voter really got out of him? How their senator RP helped them to improve their livelihood? What public service he provided for which they actually hired him?
Rand Paul’s sociopathic, narcissistic bully behavior should be a topic of public health. He should be thrown off all committees for this behavior towards Dr. Levine.
And then there's this. SCIENCE. Even though many don't appear to believe in it.
A person with a deep obsession over another person’s genitalia is probably the same kind of person that compares sizes at a urinal trough, because they feel inadequate with their pickle.
Seriously he had to look better as a man cause he looks like 💩 as a women
Why RepubliQans seem so obsessed with private parts? With women's uterus and now this. Disgusting...🤮 Now I understand why Rand Paul's neighbor attacked him. I feel like doing the same thing to Rand Paul for his moronic questions.😡🤬
Sounds like Rand Paul needs his ass beat again.
More and more people should be talking about it
Lol 'inflammatory questions.' He asked if he/she/whatever DF supports kids young enough to still believe in Santa Claus being able to permanently mutilate their bodies against their parents' consent. Seems more than relevant to me.
Honestly surprised everyone can’t agree with what Paul said. We really chopping our youths nuts off now? hope we never get in ww3 lol
U left loons r u serious? Hello kids don’t know what they want ! Hell at 12 may hate a certain food but by 20 may love it! Stop F-en up 💩
this is an awful headline that makes Rand Paul sound like a competent being and not a spineless bigoted ghoul
That dude is nasty
And his answer was telling and atrocious.
Rand Paul compared FGM to transgender surgery. He’s vile.
Inflammatory questions... like these? 1. Why did you force PA nursing homes to accept Covid+ patients 2. Why do you support transgender surgery for minors? What a clown world we live in
Sen. Paul shows his ignorance more and more as time goes on!
Paul's curious mind is wonder
DISGUSTING! There are men, and there are women. Everything else is just deep rooted psychological issues.
Sloppy grilled cheese with dr Fauci handing out purple sandwiches
They were all fair questions and concerns. Important ones at that.
Rand Paul's hair looks like it suffered from gender mutilation. And his soul must have gone through something worse.
A child’s brain 🧠 isn’t fully developed. Media wants this to be divisive issue, but really it’s common sense.
where's a neighbor with a grudge when you need one
