Andrew Yang‘s decision to run for mayor of New York City has brought one of his more unusual political positions back to light — he’s against circumcision.
If you don’t recall … Yang made headlines as a Democratic presidential candidate in early 2019 by tweeting that he was “against the practice” of routine infant circumcision.
He later clarified it’s not a hard stance — he just believes it should be a choice left up to parents — but now he’s having to explain himself all over again.
Thanks Ben! I have attended multiple friends’ brises and felt privileged to do so. I believe in religious freedom. This is every parent’s personal decision and not a role of government. Happy New Year!
