Senator Warner: HOW CAN YOU BE THAT IGNORANT?

RFK Jr is ignorant because he chooses hoaxes and lies over science. And he doesn't know how many Americans died from Covid. Doesn't know the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Even the Republicans are kicking his ass.

Faux news was carrying this ass whipping, but now they have Marsha Blackburn sharing a split screen with him, and she's 'splaining how things really are.

used to his voice. To me it is obvious that he is not taking care of himself, or the brain worm is winning. I've read on several medical sites that severe stress is thought to be possible trigger or contributor to the condition. Perhaps RFK, Jr. should reduce his stress level by not lying and trying to kill people. Those same medical sites indicate that drug use can cause spasmodic dysphonia.

Perhaps he doesn't believe in medical science and is a charlatan.

He's flaking on national television, and this is not the first time. He's completely baffled that anyone would ask him to answer questions. He wants to collect his paycheck, be patted on the back and left alone. No one told him that anyone might be actually QUESTIONING what he's spouting.

THIS is what America has become? Good grief. His own family needs to just have him committed.

fevered lizard brain disorders. Lying, grabbing women, killing, installing loyal but unqualified officials, suing, grifting, cheating, raping, removing safety nets, causing suffering...hits all the same nerves for malignant narcissists, seems to me.

No expert...but it's not just a lack of morals and empathy and knowledge but the glee and energy he gets from demonstrating those shortcomings that we see every day. Scheduling military flyovers during a presser for sexual abuse victims????

discussion of each new outrage should start with some reference to mean 5th grade bullies pulling wings off butterflies. That's as valid of a context as anything else

in the neighborhood as an animal abuser, when pile of wingless butterflies is found in the back yard, do the parents act as if no one is suspect until there is proof? Or do they start with the history of behavior they have observed?

RFK Jr knows that the vaccines made a difference. He is pandering to the same base that Trump panders too. Their belief is based on picking that which backs up their hateful bigoted worldview. Trump and RFK Jr are just narcissistic sociopaths who want to use their support to push policies that will hurt the world and the American people who they hate for not loving and celebrating them. RFK Jr got family and friends hooked on drugs and some of them died. He reportedly was a serial adulterer. He resents the fact that he was a Jr Kennedy and didn't receive the public adoration that his cousin JFK Jr received from the public. He's such a malignant narcissist that when asked during his confirmation hearings if his children were vaccinated he answered yes but said if he could go back in time he would prevent it. He's RFK JR. Isn't there something else he'd prevent if he could go back in time?

I was in 9th grade when RFK Sr. was running for president and it caused me to have my first interest in politics. I was devastated when he was assassinated. He could have change so much for the betterment of all. Now we have this idiot who biggest job is to be Trump's puppet to make things worse and distract the public from the Epstein case. RFK Sr. was such a great man who cared about everyone and should have lived a long life to carry out his agenda. RFK Sr. and his wife should have used abortion when Jr. was in the womb.
