Rachel Levine said climate change has 'disproportionate' impact on 'health of black communities'

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services assistant secretary for health Admiral Rachel Levine, a male who identifies as female, has claimed that "climate change is having a disproportionate effect on the physical and mental health of black communities."

"Black Americans are more likley than white Americans to live in areas in housing that increase their susceptibility to climate-related health issues." Levine said that "65% of black Americans report feeling anxious about climate change's impact."

A tweet on Rep. Byron Donalds' (R-Fl.) @RepDonaldsPress X account responded to Levine's post, declaring, "This could not be more OUT OF TOUCH," adding that Democratic policy has "Caused record inflation," "Prioritized illegals over AMERICANS," "Made our streets less safe," "Worsened the opioid crisis," and "Reduced access to capital." The tweet added, "These are the REAL issues. Let's start there."

GOP Rep. Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee offered up a two-word take on the matter when responding to a tweet from an account that had shared the video of Levine: "Mental illness."

"Man dressed as woman says weather is racist," Seth Dillon tweeted.

Levine has previously claimed to be the "first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps."

He has also suggested that a teen could undergo the "wrong puberty."

"What if you're going through the wrong puberty? What if you inside feel that you are female, but" are undergoing "male puberty?" Levine has asked.
