BREAKING: RFK Jr's enabling wife gets publicly humiliated on The View as the hosts confront her about her husband's "brain worm' and his failed tenure as the "least qualified" Health Secretary "in history."

"He has also spread lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion and I think it's just a very dangerous thing and I say it with the utmost respect," said Hostin.

......................
"He's connected circumcision to autism," interjected Hoston.

Hines then continued rambling about Dr. Fauci and the pandemic, desperate to shift the attention away from RFK Jr.

"Can we just clear one thing before you go so we don't have to make any jokes about it?" asked Behar. "Does he or does he not have a brain worm?"

"It ate just a little bit of his brain and died so don't worry," said Hines.

"Oh it's a dead brain worm!" said Behar.

"What died? Wait what? The brain died?" asked Whoopi Goldberg.

"It's a callback to the uh... To the campaign," said Hines, who then began shilling her book..................

Meloonia's motives probably stem from her dependence on the pre-nups and other perks, but HINES has her own career and probably enough cash on her own.

Why does she stay with him? I've only spent my seventy years reading people. I wouldn't put up with his serial humiliations, and made a reasonable assumption.

but why do the rest of the Kennedy's put up with her?! For that matter, why haven't they disowned her husband?! All he has done is brought shame and embarrassment to a family I looked up to as roll models while I was growing up. Even then I knew they weren't perfect, but what they represented and how they stood in statesmanship for the country made me proud. Also, personal foibles aside, they always had the country's best interests at heart... and more, they took that to the personal... the individual, as well as the country as a whole. I hate what this "kid" has done to his family, as much as if it were my own family.

so before sentencing her to the firing squad for "crimes against the American people", how 'bout we drop the judgement long enough to consider some things, like

A. We Don't Know Her, with that fact containing certain possibilities, like,
A. she may be as crazy as he.
B. She may be sane but impressionable and/or not bright or informed enough to know better.

Now, I know these scenarios may not lend themselves to a warm fuzzy hate feeling, but they do seem like reasonable possibilities.

She probably believes his nonsense and has, therefore, no reason to believe herself guilty of any such thing.

He drives ahead with his insane kookery nevertheless. His mens rea is intent to harm the American people or reckless indifference. Crimes are being committed. People who deny this are part of the problem.

They can't give a substantial reason to bash him. New diseases are not completely known and advice can change as it is better understood. After an initial caution about buying masks because he feared a shortage for hospital and emergency employees, Fauci advised us all on the precautions to take. Isolation, masking, testing and vaccinations. If every American would have followed his advice instead of that of the quacks, we would have lost far fewer of our loved ones.

If it had been up to Trump, we'd have mostly died out then. Those were some rough days. My brother got sick and was dying, and only one person could see him, once a day. He died alone, without us by his side, and I'll never get over that. The family is grateful his roommate was a fellow believer and helped him read the Bible during those last days.

They want to use the media to spread their idiocy? Then they get the fallout and the pushback. Screw them all. Every one of them, spouse, parent, adult child. If they support this crap, they get to see the Find Out results.
