(Patriot.Buzz) – Former Vice President Mike Pence has attacked former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as he opposes President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
See the tweet below.
Pence’s firm stance against Kennedy’s pro-abortion views has ignited a firestorm within the Republican Party, pitting traditional conservatives against Trump’s unorthodox political maneuvers.
The clash threatens to unravel the GOP’s long-standing commitment to pro-life values and could spark a rebellion among its core supporters.
Kennedy, known for his controversial stance on vaccines and his support for abortion rights, represents a stark departure from the Trump-Pence administration’s previous pro-life agenda.
Pence, a stalwart defender of conservative values, did not mince words in his criticism of Kennedy’s nomination.
The former vice president emphasized the potential betrayal of millions of pro-life Americans who have loyally supported the Republican Party for decades.
“I believe the nomination of RFK Jr. to serve as Secretary of HHS is an abrupt departure from the pro-life record of our administration and should be deeply concerning to millions of Pro-Life Americans who have supported the Republican Party and our nominees for decades,” Pence claimed.
Kennedy’s stance on abortion has been a major point of contention. He has openly supported codifying Roe v. Wade and believes that abortion should be legal until a fetus is viable outside the womb.
Moreover, Pence did not hold back in his assessment of Kennedy’s potential impact, stating unequivocally that if confirmed, Kennedy “would be the most pro-abortion Republican appointed secretary of HHS in modern history.”
The nomination has exposed a growing rift within the GOP. While Trump seems to be distancing himself from the anti-abortion wing, stalwarts like Pence are doubling down on their commitment to pro-life values.
In addition, Kennedy’s views on vaccines have raised eyebrows across the political spectrum.
His questioning of vaccine efficacy has concerned liberals and alarmed the medical community, potentially setting the stage for a contentious confirmation process.
Pence continued, “On behalf of tens of millions of pro-life Americans, I respectfully urge Senate Republicans to reject this nomination and give the American people a leader who will respect the sanctity of life as secretary of Health and Human Services.”
The party must decide whether to maintain its traditional pro-life stance or adopt a more moderate position that could alienate its core supporters.
The outcome of this nomination battle could shape the future direction of the Republican Party and have profound implications for the pro-life movement in America.
