Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) questioned the HHS secretary about his stated desire to send all black children to live on farms and work.
Alsobrooks asked:
You said, you said that all black children are now just standard, put on Adderall, on SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence, and that these children will have the chance to go somewhere and be reparented to live in a community where there will be no cell phones and no screens.
You know, you claimed, in fact, you went on to say that in fact the whole transcription was even worse. You said if you could, you would send all the black children again, your words not mine, to go live on farms and work. Is this yours?
Kennedy interrupted: “I would love to see, hear that recording because I have no memory of saying anything like that.”
Alsobrooks said, “Well, I actually have the recording, uh, that I can give you, but it’s absolutely what you said, and if you want me to play it, I can play it.”
Kennedy continued: “If you ask me what my opinion is, I don’t believe that every black person should be re-parented on a welfare farm or anything, and I’ve never believed that…I don’t believe that. That’s not my view of our country.”
Senator Alsobrooks responded, “Well, I’m glad because it was ignorant to say it was dangerous and irresponsible.” »
Kennedy claimed to have no memory of suggesting that all black children should be sent to work on farms: “Well, if I said it, I apologize, but I would have to see the transcript.” »

It’s disturbing, but there have been even crazier moments.
