(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — After the tragic mass shooting in Minnesota yesterday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went on Fox News this morning to blame anti-depressants for school shootings. 314 Action Executive Director Erik Polyak released the following statement in response:
“RFK Jr. has a sick and twisted view of the world. Instead of promoting mental health and addressing the chronic crisis of gun violence in this country, he’s doubling-down on disinformation. SSRIs and anti-depressants are safe and tested medications. They are prescribed all over the world, but America is the only country with a mass-shooting problem.
