Sen.
Rand Paul launched into what many have deemed a “transphobic rant” while questioning of one of President
Joe Biden’s health nominees, Dr.
Rachel Levine — the first transgender person to be nominated for a Senate-confirmed position.
“My career has been helping people live healthy lives,” Levine said to the Senate Thursday. “As the assistant secretary for health, I would be committed each day to helping the people of our nation and improving our public health. I am both humbled by the opportunity and ready for the job.”
