He has on occasion fueled climate change skepticism, depicting global warming as a crock and a myth. He said the medical establishment and professional victims have overblown the danger from secondhand tobacco smoke.
He offered no pushback when a doctor called into his nationally syndicated radio show last month to suggest that COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous and didnt object when the physician then implied that Bill Gates might have backed the experimental immunizations as a form of population control.
--------------
He has called the U.S. Supreme Courts Roe vs. Wade decision, which creates a legal right for women to have abortions, one of the worst decisions that the Supreme Court ever handed down, called abortion murder and said abortion rules should be left to the states.
He said he would have voted against the law that requires employers to offer workers 12 weeks of unpaid leave to bond with new children or to care for family members with medical emergencies. He has rejected the notion that women confront a glass ceiling in attempts at career advancement and embraced the libertarian truism that citizens have become too reliant on an overbearing government.
