"SNIP.......

Steve Bannon spent “months” encouraging anti-vaccine poster boy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to challenge President Biden for the Democratic nomination in the 2024 presidential election, according to a report. CBS News reporter Robert Costa reports that people familiar with the matter said Bannon hoped RFK Jr. could serve as both a “useful chaos agent” in the election while also helpfully stoking “anti-vaccine sentiment around the country.” While Kennedy has yet to formally announce his campaign, he filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday showing he is running as a Democrat. In 2021, the Center for Countering Digital Hate accused Kennedy of playing a leading role in “spreading digital misinformation about Covid vaccines,” and he last year apologized for saying vaccine-hesitant Americans had it worse than Anne Frank, who died in a Nazi concentration camp.

2. Who is surprised by this?

[snowybirdie]

3. Looks like

All the drugs he did as a young man has finally caught up with him, and he's not thinking accurately. Or it could be he likes to get into a spotlight every so often. Bye, bye Robert

[lame54]

5. I'll ask again...

Why is this convicted criminal still not in prison

[Takket]

8. Great question

He was sentenced and filed his appeal back in October. Why has his appeal not be decided yet? What is the hold up?

[JanLip]

22. I was thinking the same thing

🙄

6. Kennedy should be honest and change his party affiliation to Republican.

And before I am inundated with replies about him that he is this great climate change lawyer...just consider no person who gave a damn about climate change would help elect GOP types or fraternize with Bannon and/or Flynn.

11. Here he is with Roger Stone & Michael Flynn after J6.

Wish we could kick him out.

[Demsrule86]

17. I do too...clearly he is has GOP friends.

[TheRealNorth]

7. Another "useful idiot"

For the Putin-Trump Axis.

[Turbineguy]

9. Good idea.

What they need now is somebody who will rehab trump, like trump did for Dubya.

An anti-vax guy is certainly attractive because if there's another epidemic they can kill millions of people.

[moondust]

10. Working for Putin.

Divide and conquer.

12. Oh fucking gross. I knew that asshole had to be behind it.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. I'm laughing my ass off with the idea that Bannon and Co. think RFK Jr. is a

Manchurian Candidate for them.

He has more in common with John Neely Kennedy, than he does with our Robert F. Kennedy. May he rest in peace.

[Paladin]

18. It's no laughing matter.

Not if you've been awake and paying attention during the last 10 years or so.

[Baitball Blogger]

19. How are you going to sell an anti-vaxxer to Democrats?

And he has a few more tells.

[Paladin]

20. What chance does trump have of beating Hillary? (nt)

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Trump made it through because of many reasons that don't apply to Kennedy.

For one thing, he lied about his past and got away with it. He lied about everything. No one really knew what he was about until it was too late.

Kennedy has a track record of causes that are not palatable to Democrats.

[Elessar Zappa]

24. He has no chance in a democratic primary.

I’d bet my paycheck. Bookmark this reply.

[Initech]

26. You don't. This is an attempt to gaslight and that's about it.

Fuck Steve Bannon.

[bluestarone]

14. This one could be a BIG problem for Democrats.

We Democrats need to really emphasize to look CLOSELY at WHO the person really is. The D behind the name means NOTHING for these type people. Especially because he carries the last name of a super GREAT man and family.

[Me.]

15. RFKjr Seems To Have Had A Case Of Grievance All His Life

pitiful

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Jill Stein redux

[kimbutgar]

23. Good luck

He has a grating irritating voice. It will be curious to hear his message and platform roll out . And once those pictures of him with roger stone, michael Flynn and bannons endorsement gets out he’ll be toast.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Go home Bannon

You're drunk again.
