Royce White says contraception is a ‘modern feminist’ tool to ‘kill a man’s legacy’

Minnesota Republican Senate candidate Royce White referred to contraception as a feminist tool to “kill a man’s legacy” during  a podcast appearance from June.

White made the comments on the “CMASC Podcast,” a show that focuses on “Christian masculinity for modern men.”

“This is the darkest root of modern feminist thinking, right?” White asked. “And the reason why contraceptive is the lynchpin of the whole deal is because the ability for women to kill a man’s legacy. That’s really the vindictive, you know, unspoken ambition of it. Impulse of it is like ‘Oh I get the opportunity to kill a man’s legacy if I so choose because a man’s legacy is important. The lineage from God and legacy if just, one of the most natural things.”

White went on the bash Social Security as well, suggesting it represents the country going “bankrupt” to appease Baby Boomers.

White’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request to comment on his contraception views and if he supports banning access.

White is no stranger to stirring controversy, as he has promoted a variety of unproven conspiracy theories against Jews, women and the LGBTQ community. In May, a report from the Daily Beast proved that White spent campaign funds from his 2022 Congressional run at a strip club. White pushed back on the report during an appearance on ”The David Pakman Show” in June, where he claimed that the money was used on food before disparaging the host for being a “white liberal.”

A resurfaced tweet White posted in 2022 also showed the former NBA player believes that the “bad guys won World War II.” White is also a close ally of former Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon.

Despite his extreme stances on a variety of issues, the Minnesota Republican Party backed White in his primary election earlier this year. White secured the Republican nomination in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race when he took home 38.5% of the vote in the Aug. 13 primary. This set up a general election against incumbent U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D). Election forecasters have rated this a safe Democrat race, and White has polled very poorly since winning the nomination.
