RFK Jr. Vindicates Alex Jones For ‘Gay Frogs Conspiracy Theory’
During a recent discussion with Canadian psychologist and political commentator Jordan Peterson, Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vindicated a so-called “conspiracy theory” from radio host Alex Jones — that frogs are being turned “gay.”
Jones, who has become a major target of the left over the past few years, is known for making overdramatized statements that sometimes end up being at least partially true. In a now-famous video clip that has been turned into a meme, Jones declared that chemicals being put in the water turned “the friggin’ frogs gay!”
While the comment has clearly been sensationalized, Jones’ actual point has been proven.
During his discussion on Peterson’s podcast, Kennedy Jr. explained the truth behind Jones’ rant — and the effects that the same issue is having on American children.
“[Boys] are swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today,” the Democrat presidential candidate said. “And many of those are endocrine disruptors. There’s atrazine throughout our water supply… If you, in a lab, put atrazine in a tank full of frogs, It will chemically castrate and forcibly feminize every frog in there and 10% of the male frogs will turn into fully viable females able to produce viable eggs. And if it’s doing that to frogs there’s a lot of other evidence that it’s doing it to humans as well.”
Kennedy Jr. was right, according to information from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
“Atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water,” the report states. “Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations. Previous studies showed that atrazine adversely affects amphibian larval development.”
“The present study demonstrates the reproductive consequences of atrazine exposure in adult amphibians,” the report continues. “Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs. Atrazine-exposed males suffered from depressed testosterone, decreased breeding gland size, demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior, reduced spermatogenesis, and decreased fertility.”
