Here's a list of just some of the crackpottery that simping GOP senators are going to let RFK jr walk back today:
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Claimed that Americans meat producers were a “greater threat to the United States and U.S. democracy than Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network” less than a year after 9/11, and that reiterated that opinion years later. https://manhattan.institute/article/osama-the-pigs-the-kennedy
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Accused climate deniers of being “traitors” and proposed they face criminal prosecution in global courts. RFK is a longtime fan of censorship. https://www.nationalreview.com/2007/07/ignorance-strength-dissent-treason-marlo-lewis/
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Supports single-payer socialized medicine and abortion until the moment of crowning. (I'm not sure what he says he believes now. Whatever a suddenly trusting Josh Hawley wants to hear, I guess.)
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
He “won’t take sides” on 9/11 conspiracy theories, but called National Rifle Association a “terrorist organization.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/robert-f-kennedy-jr-wont-take-sides-911-conspiracy-theories-rcna160255
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Said COVID was engineered to attack black and Caucasian people, but to spare “Ashkenazi Jews.” https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews/
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Claims that “no vaccine that is safe and effective.” Believes smallpox, polio and measles could have been eliminated with better hygiene. https://apnews.com/article/rfk-kennedy-election-2024-president-campaign-621c9e9641381a1b2677df9de5a09731
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Wants all fossil fuel energy shut down – also, nuclear energy; he led the campaign to shut down the Indian Point nuclear facility in New York https://nypost.com/2025/01/27/opinion/senators-vote-no-to-rfk-jr-whos-still-a-radical-left-lunatic-hazardous-to-our-health/
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Claimed we have vaccine-induced “autism epidemic” – convincing thousands of parents that they are at fault for their children’s disability – which he nauseatingly compared to a “holocaust.” https://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-pc-robert-kennedy-jr-apologizes-for-likening-vaccine-impacts-to-holocaust-20150413-story.html
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
He says fluoride, which is completely safe at the levels we use it, is “industrial waste” and the the water supply is turning kids gay https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/13/politics/robert-kennedy-jr-chemicals-water-children-frogs/index.html
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Promised to investigate chemtrails. First got into it after hanging out with Woody Harrelson. https://www.newsweek.com/rfk-jr-chemtrails-conspiracy-theory-1987708
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
For some reason he left a dead bear cub in Central Park. I believe this was after he was charged with heroin possession. So, really, no excuse. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/05/nx-s1-5063939/rfk-jr-central-park-bear-bicycle
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Claimed that WiFi “radiation” causes cancer as do phones which case “cellphone tumors” https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/11/15/rfk-jrs-conspiracy-theories-heres-what-trumps-pick-for-health-secretary-has-promoted/

@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi

@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
RFK is a ridiculous dilettante who would be laughed out of congress if his name wasn't Kennedy. We won't get into his vile personal life, which tells us a lot about the type of man he is.
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
Less than a year ago, RFK supported unrestricted "full-term" abortion. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/257643/rfk-jr-endorses-unrestricted-abortion-even-if-its-full-term
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
RFK said that the Polio vaccine "killed many, many, many, many, many more people than polio" https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/health/robert-f-kennedy-jr-polio-vaccines.html
@davidharsanyi - David Harsanyi
This unfolds the same way every time: Omar sides with terrorists or says something antisemitc. People point it out. A few unhinged nuts threaten her (if you do this to politicians, and most go thru this, I hope you are found and prosecuted.) She plays victim. Her allies try to chill speech.
