'You absolutely said it': Dem scolds RFK Jr. for denying comment about Black kids

No, I'm not going to answer something that I didn't say.You absolutely said it, Sewell assured him.Oh, I'd like to hear the recording, Kennedy said. So to be clear, I don't even know what it means.Mr. Secretary, for Black families of the United States, the issue of family separation is not new, the lawmaker explained. During slavery, Black children were taken from their parents and sold with no regard.For you to suggest that Black families are not capable of raising their own children is deeply offensive, she added. And to suggest that they have to be re-parented is offensive.I never suggested that, Kennedy griped. Your words matter, Sewell remarked. When those words are careless, communities pay the price. When your words are imprecise, they create confusion. And when your words are dismissive, they cause real harm.I expect, and the American people expect that you choose your words with sincereness and with seriousness, the seriousness that your position demands.
