R-Mo. Sen. Josh Hawley of President Donald Trump’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has been asking prolonged questions about his past stance on transgender treatment for minors and abortion, saying the candidate has not answered his inquiries.
A Missouri Republican said in an interview with Fox News Digital that he remains concerned about his past interest in “promoting transgender surgeries for minors, promoting transgender hormone treatment and adolescent blockers for minors.”
He submitted many questions to Oz about the subjects earlier that month, but Holy said that Oz never answered. “He’s not. I think that’s odd,” he said.

“I hope he has changed his opinion,” Holy added. “He wants to hear that he is fully affiliated with President Trump. He’s very strong about this.”
“All members of the Trump administration work from the same playbook as President Trump’s playbook, restoring common sense policies and plaguing our government with the nonsense of left-wing ideologically.”
“We look forward to a quick confirmation of Dr. Oz, and we look forward to being able to join the rest of the HHS All-Star team.

As Holy pointed out, Oz used his television program to platform those who supported and promoted transgender treatment, particularly for minors.
Oz hosted two trans kids on the show in 2010 in the segment “Transgender Kids: Are You Too Young Too Young to Decide?”
Josie, 8-year-old and her mother of children, Vanesia argued that Josie’s life had improved when her male-born child began to embrace the female lifestyle. Isaac, 15, and his minor parents, Arturo and Monica, revealed that they decided to have a female-born teenager start an adolescent blocker and remove the teenager’s breasts with a double mastectomy.

The segment was touted as “groundbreaking” by the LGBTQ activist group Glaad, telling supporters to thank OZ.
Television doctors also have a history of supporting abortion.
In a 2019 interview on the popular radio show The Breakfast Club, Oz said he was interested in state laws aimed at limiting or limiting abortion, saying it was “a challenge for everyone.”
And, on a “personal level,” he didn’t like abortion, but he also believed that “you shouldn’t interfere with everyone else’s.”

“Because it’s hard enough to get into life as is,” he added.
When Oz ran for the Pennsylvania Senate as a Republican in 2022, he still opposed government jurisdiction over the subject of abortion.
“The federal government doesn’t want to get involved in it,” he said in a discussion with Sen now. John Fetterman, D-PA. “I can move forward with the best ideas forward to a democracy that wants women, doctors, local political leaders and allows our nation to thrive forever, and make it their own decisions.”

Even without answering his question, Holy wouldn’t have said that he was asked if he would vote to confirm Oz. “I have to believe he will respond here.”
