Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO., Has persistent questions about the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) by President Donald Trump, Dr. ir. Mehmet Oz and his earlier views on transgender treatments for minors and abortion, and he says that the candidate has not answered his research.
The Missouri Republican told Fox News Digital in an interview that he is concerned about the past of OZ of “promoting transgender operations for minors, promoting transgender hormone treatments and puberty blockers for minors.”
He submitted a number of questions to OZ about the topics earlier in the month, but Hawley said that OZ never answered. “He didn’t do that. What I find strange, “he said.

“I hope he changed his views,” Hawley added. “I would like to hear from him that he is tuned in total to President Trump, who has been very strong in this.”
In a statement to FOX News Digital, spokesperson Kush Desai of the White House said: “Every member of the Trump administration works from the same PlayBook, the playbook of President Trump, to restore the commonsense policy and to put an end to the left-wing ideological nonsense that our government travels.”
“We are looking forward to the rapid confirmation of the Senate of Dr. Oz, so that he can join the rest of our all-star team of HHS who works to make America healthy again through common sense, transparency and trust in our health care device.”

As Hawley noted, OZ has used his television show to platform people who have supported and promoted transgender treatments, especially for minors.
OZ organized two transgender Children in his show in 2010 in a segment entitled: “Transgender Kids: Too Young to decided?”
Josie, 8, and the mother of the child, Vanessia, claimed that Josie’s life improved when the child born in men started to embrace a female lifestyle. Isaac, who was 15, and the parents of the minor, Arturo and Monica, revealed that they decided to have their female -born teenager start taking puberty blockers and have the teenage breasts removed in a double breast amputation.

The segment was advertised as “groundbreaking” by LGBTQ Activist Group Glaad, who told supporters to thank OZ.
The television doctor has also had a history of supporting abortion.
In one 2019 Interview In the popular radio show ‘The Breakfast Club’, OZ said that he was worried about the state laws that were aimed at limiting or limiting abortion, and said that it is ‘a difficult issue for everyone’.
And while on ‘a personal level’, he did not love abortion, he also believed that he should not “disturb the things of everyone.”

“Because it’s hard enough to get into life as it is,” he added.
When OZ ran to Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022 as a Republican, he still opposed the government’s jurisdiction on the subject of abortion.
“I don’t want the federal government to be involved in this,” he said during a debate with now Sen. John Fetterman, D-PA. “I want women, doctors, local political leaders, the democracy that always let our nation thrive, thrive, make the best ideas move forward so that states can decide themselves.”

Asked if he would vote to confirm OZ, even without answers to his questions, Hawley would not say. “I just have to believe he will respond here.”
