1. I know he truly can't help it, but it's hard to listen to him.

I'm going to have to use captioning. Important hearing. The committee refused to swear him under oath.

[Klarkashton]

2. It wouldn't be so irritating were it not for the horrible

Shit he croaks out. He's a smarmy piece of shit that does nothing but spread nonsense and crap.

[True Dough]

3. Do he and Susan Collins have the same condition?

Spasmodic dysphonia?

[Scrivener7]

6. His sounds like crack pipe voice.

[SheltieLover]

10. Yup

[Ms. Toad]

27. Yes.

This is the second thread/post I've come across this morning ridiculing him for a disability. (Not you - you are just asking a question.)

I'm disappointed to see it on DU.

[marble falls]

28. Hear! Hear!

[TexLaProgressive]

29. And Diane Rehm

[JustAnotherGen]

4. It's annoying

[sop]

5. We're not supposed to make fun of others' infirmities, but his voice sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

And his insane ideas only make his voice less bearable.

[Ms. Toad]

30. Then don't.

Would you make a similar comment about the visual appearance of someone living with cerebral palsy being hard to watch?

He is a vile human being, but leave his disability out of it.

[Ocelot II]

7. He has a condition called spasmodic dysphonia,

and it's about the only thing that's wrong with him that isn't his fault.

[electric_blue68]

17. His grandmother Rose Kennedy had it, too, I think

[SheltieLover]

8. Yes, as are all of this admin's voices.

I truly cannot stomach looking at or hearing any of them.

I agree about the worm.

[milestogo]

9. Why can't he heal himself?

That's what he wants everyone else to do.

[SheltieLover]

11. Great point, Miles!

[sop]

12. Jesus said, "Physician, heal thyself" (Luke 4:23)

RFK Jr.'s not a doctor, but he did stay stay at the Holiday Inn Express.

[LeftInTX]

20. Someone should ask him!!

[tetedur]

13. The wheezing is getting to me.

[Ms. Toad]

32. It's not wheezing. It's a disability that affects his voice.

He has spasmodic dysphonia.

[tetedur]

37. I was referring to the sounds he was making when he wasn't speaking.

The labored breathing especially when he was listening to Democrats ask him questions.

[spanone]

14. His lies are worse then his voice... He's absolutely insane

[Blue Owl]

15. The raspy tone combined with the toxic content spewing out is too much to take

[Intractable]

16. Hard to believe this is the same guy I used to listen to on Air America 22 years ago.

Back then, he was a truth teller with a raspy voice. Now, he's an extreme narcissist with an agenda.

[La Coliniere]

23. Yes, it's a sad journey that guy's been on.

I also was a frequent listener of Ring of Fire back in the day, but even then he was expressing skepticism of childhood vaccines and believed the vaccines caused childhood autism. However, his ideas about environmental issues seemed worthwhile and based on science. Even back then I was not convinced by his vaccine nonsense. The man is dangerous and needs to resign.

[democratsruletheday]

25. he's getting PUMMELED today and I friggin' LOVE it....

long past due and you know when Repukes are joining in that it's really bad. So he's bad enough but my wife wondered aloud recently how Cheryl Hines can stay with this reptile. What a pair they are.

[marble falls]

18. That is the least of his problems and one that don't bother me in slightest. What's next, he ties his ties overhand ...

... vs Full Windsor.

I am much more outraged at his classic Dunning Kruger approach to health and vaccination policy that is demonstrably killing people.

[LeftInTX]

19. Perfect voice for Trump's "Make America Unhealthy"

Heroin addict, carrion eater, worm brain., looks like he crawled out of a manhole....

[purr-rat beauty]

21. It's his condition

But it doesn't change the fact that he's a horrific fit for his role. I don't like to listen to him not because of his voice, but rather his warped thinking, conspiracies, and lies.

[Orrex]

38. I also don't listen to hm for those reasons

But when I am forced to hear him, I reflect upon how unpleasant it is.

[carpetbagger]

22. It's not as bad as the mumps.

And it's not the voice. It's the worm speaking. Sherrod Brown said things that made the voice not irritating.

[La Coliniere]

24. Hard to look at as well.

A Gila monster has healthier looking skin.

[democratsruletheday]

26. My son works for a construction company and his older supervisors look

like that through blood, sweat and tears. This nepo clown looks like that from too many afternoons on the family's yachts. Such a POS

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

35. Jfk jr is a tanning addict

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

36. Spmeone on redfit described him as looking like a catchers mitt

[Justice Brandeis]

31. I think that comes from his long history of drug abuse

In any case, he deserves all the mockery he gets.

[Ms. Toad]

33. I thought criticizing people because of disabilities wasn't cool here.

RFK Jr. Has spasmodic dysphonia. He can't help how he sounds. So criticizing him for how he sounds is like criticizing someone with cerebral palsy because seeing how they move is unbearable for you.

[Orrex]

39. Wait, that's a disability?

I thought it was just a byproduct of a lifetime of shitty behavior and I’ll-advised health choices.

But if it’s legit beyond his control, then you’re right; not ok to mock.

[Ms. Toad]

40. It's the same condition Diane Rehm has.

She was able to use Botox to be able to continue her radio career - but even right after a treatment she still seemed to struggle when she was speaking.

[Orrex]

41. Thank you for educating me.

I’ll delete.

[Katinfl]

34. I cannot stand to listen to him but I have had it on all morning for some reason.

I am not watching per se, just have it on as I go about my business in the house. Somehow I am almost getting used to it. And that’s scary.

[Orrex]

42. RFK Jr's voice is unbearable

He’s actually less pleasant to hear than Rapist47.

I don’t know how the worm put up with him for so long.
