Co-host Kaitlin Collins said, “Do you think that a judge in Texas should be able to say that an FDA’s determination about a drug is invalid?”
Mace said, “I don’t. In fact, when you look at the court case in the ruling here, the judge used an act or a law from the 1800s that was overturned by the Supreme Court.”
Collins said, “Do you agree here than with comments from people like your colleague, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that the Biden administration should ignore this ruling, that the FDA should ignore this ruling?”
Mace said, “I would. This is an FDA-approved drug. I support the usage of FDA-approved drugs, even if I might disagree. It’s not up to us to decide as legislators or even as the court system whether or not this is the right drug to use or not, number one. So I agree with ignoring it at this point, but there are other lawsuits that are happening right now in other states as well over this issue. But to look at the case itself, when you look at the law that the judge used, an old law that the Supreme Court said was unconstitutional, this thing should just be thrown out, quite frankly.”
