RFK Jr. Panics When Confronted on His Comments About Black Children

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. yelled, argued, interrupted, and denied his own words during a heated exchange with a congresswoman who confronted him over inflammatory statements he’d made about Black children.

In 2024, the then-presidential candidate appeared on High Lvl Conversations, a YouTube show hosted by wellness and productivity influencer 19Keys, to discuss the mental health challenges facing Black men.

At one point during the conversation, Kennedy, 72, said that if elected, he would create “Wellness Farm” rehabilitation facilities in rural areas all around the country.

“Every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRI, benzos, which are known to induce violence. And those children are going to have a chance to go somewhere to get reparented,” said Kennedy, who now serves as President Donald Trump’s health secretary.
