RFK Jr. Brags About Being ‘Around a Lot of Young Girls All the Time’

Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. is back in the headlines for making weird comments about teenagers—and while this time it’s not about young boys’ sperm counts (bad!), it’s about how much time he spends with young girls (worse!).

The comments came as part of the worm-brained freak’s latest “Secretary Kennedy Podcast” episode, in which Kennedy spoke to MAHA darling Laura Delano, who’s previously spoken out about her disillusionment with psychiatric medication. The two started discussing the mental health of young girls and the prospects of “overcoming pain” without any medication… when things took a turn for the odd.

“What occurs to me,” RFK said,“is that I’m around a lot of young girls all the time, and they all seem, like, really crazy at that part of their lives. Most of them just get through it and figure it out. But if you put them on a regimen of psychiatric drugs at that age, they may not be able to go through the things that they need to go through to find the techniques for coping with anxiety and uncertainty and fear—and all of that stuff that makes people go crazy.” 

Well, shit. There’s for you a one-stop shop of so many things wrong in one jumbled fuck-mess, but let’s begin with the fact that Kennedy’s mission to cast doubt on psychiatric drugs—along with antidepressants—has been mostly based on junk science. (Sound familiar?) His efforts to politicize psychiatric care have also been rinsed by several medical experts, and speaking to NPR, American Psychiatric Association Dr. Theresa Miskimen Rivera said his antidepressants-related rhetoric “ignores the larger reality, which is that too many patients really cannot access timely, comprehensive care that is much needed for our nation.”

On top of that, there’s pretty much no woman in the country who’s benefited off RFK’s policies, insights, or lack thereof. Which, well, you’d think that a guy who understands “young girls” would do something to make their lives less of a living nightmare in this cursed timeline. 

Then again, there are people like Delano enabling RFK’s worst thoughts. “It’s such a true observation,” she replied to his curious monologue. “I came of age right at the beginning of the age of therapeuticization of American adolescents, especially American—you know—girlhood and young womanhood.” Uh. She continued by saying that “young people today are yearning and seeking meaning and belonging,” and that therapy and mental health have—perhaps inappropriately—“filled that void.” “They’re so deeply identified with their diagnoses and with how many meds they’re on, where [they] almost wear it as a badge of honor.” Great! Two people who really understand what goes on in the minds of teen girls! 

Anyways. As I say, Kennedy really needs to calm his perennial obsession with talking about teenagers. Not a single quarter has passed since the HHS secretary hasn’t brought up a so-called “crisis” of teen sperm counts among teenage boys, and just last week he resurfaced said “crisis” to promote the administration’s creepy, new, pro-natalist website, MomsDotGov. Alas, as we’ve known for a time now, it’s perhaps just better if Kennedy doesn’t sit in front of a microphone at all.
