... Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said if he was a woman he wouldn't take medical advice from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing recent claims the secretary made that President Trump endorsed. MSNOW's senior Capitol Hill correspondent Ali Vitali asked Thune in a Thursday interview whether the GOP was becoming a "party of no dissent," noting that lawmakers like Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy (La.) and Susan Collins (Maine) " who are up for reelection " are among the few who have publicly disagreed with party leadership and the White House on some issues. Thune said he disagreed with that assertion and said he dissented on some issues, citing the administration's position on pregnant women using Tylenol as one example. Vitali asked whether he believed Kennedy's rhetoric on the over-the-counter medication was dangerous. "If I were a woman, I'd be talking to my doctor and not taking, you know, advice from RFK or any other government bureaucrat for that matter," Thune said. ...

So what, exactly, is Sen Thune railing against?
Medical knowledge, or the government's provision of that medical knowledge to Americans, or?
