OMFG

“There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately…COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”

Conspiracy theorists go from 0 to blame Jews in a nanosecond

If you’re a journalist writing another story on why RFK Jr isn’t getting enough press coverage then I need you to get up, find a brick wall, and walk into it at full speed.

@flexghost congrats to cheryl hines and rfk jr on clinching the votes of true the vote, moms for liberty, the michigan, oregon, pennsylvania, and arizona republican party base, turning point, traditional workers party, claremont institute, nick fuentes, david duke, steve scalise, paul gosar, and ye
@Realworldrj this is so full of cringe and giggles. Haha did you think of them off the top of your head? Excellent

@flexghost I probably missed a few but, yes, these were the ones at the top of my head

This entire RFK Jr thing reeks of a Larry David skit gone completely off the rails

@Realworldrj @flexghost - I had no idea Hines was married to this wackadoo. She must have really wanted to bag a Kennedy.
@MrShoggoth @flexghost the draw of the brand name
@Realworldrj @MrShoggoth @flexghost If that's the case, she *really* lowered the bar with this guy.
@MrShoggoth @Realworldrj @flexghost there is really no other explanation😡😡😡
@Realworldrj @flexghost fuck them both🤬🤬🤬🤬
@Realworldrj the all important Ye vote

@flexghost

Journalists taking RFKjr seriously should sprint, not walk, into that brick wall.

@flexghost

"There is an argument" is code for "I take no responsibility for the lie I'm about to spread."

@rgulick people are saying

These are literally the numbskull tactics of Nazis

@rgulick @flexghost “Let me be willfully ignorant about this unabashed bad faith nutball argument” - many journalists
@flexghost FUCK. THAT. GUY.
@GreatBigTable in the throat. With a rake.
@flexghost it is ridiculous and dangerous that this guy gets any positive air time at all.
@GreatBigTable people like Lex Fridman need to answer for platforming hate
@flexghost I spent a large part of my IC career analyzing bioscience and bioweapons technologies. He is entirely full of shit. Despite years of breathless speculation about cutting edge bioscience research, no one could or would produce, deploy, or be able to control such a weapon today, nor could they do so decades ago when the Russians had the first fever dream about it. It was a fanciful idea that eventually made its way into the press and non-expert people went nuts about it.

@Nonya_Bidniss @flexghost I wondered how this would even have been possible.

Thanks for explaining.

@Nonya_Bidniss
He's being nostalgic for some of that Tuskegee syphilis action.
@flexghost
@Nonya_Bidniss @flexghost care to cite sources instead of appealing to yourself as an authority while anonymously posting?

@[email protected] @flexghost No but I'll be happy to block your ass

Zero follower zero profile troll

@Nonya_Bidniss

Dunces like that always say the same thing. Duhhh sources.
It’s in bad faith and all reply the same way. Every one of them is a Cheeto covered blob and waste of carbon. Mute and move on. There’ll be more. Identical to that blob.

@flexghost Yeah that shit doesn't work on me. Stupid incel.
@flexghost I truly wish he goes to the election as a 3rd party candidate. That would split MAGA off republicans and have them fight for their share of the vote
@zaquintar honestly… Cornel west, and he might take some of the weird democrat vote but hopefully mostly Republicans

@flexghost

I’m not Biden’s #1 fan, but this is the dude they think has a chance to get the nom?

Jr is not a serious person.

@ShieldHero85 kinda. This is the dude they want to take enough votes to meet the Bannon line
@flexghost oh for the love of christ 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@flexghost
RFK Jr is a ghoul just like every other republican. Their mission is to spread fear at every turn.

“Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.” Bertrand Russell

@flexghost RFK Sr. CONTINUES to spin in his grave........
@flexghost Who are the people, sitting passively, listening to this racist drivel?
@flexghost This dude is a disgrace. He's so desperate for attention that he thinks nothing of the consequences of the shit he's saying. He doesn't care about how his words hurt others, and damage public health. I don't even think he believes what he's saying. He's got an enormous ego, and this is what he does to satisfy it.

@slcw I’m glad you took this route. I’m sick of seeing people excuse behavior like this as “stupid”

It’s willful. And bad.

@slcw @flexghost - I dunno. I think his mind is broken.

@flexghost

Holy shit. I knew he was a dangerous lunatic, but this is next level.

@flexghost

@flexghost I don't understand why he's getting ANY coverage. But that was always my complaint about Trump as well. The media takes people seriously who should have been laughed out of the game from the start.
@darwinwoodka my theory is this—and it’s complicated so please bear with me—most people are stupid and petty.
@flexghost
He doesn't sound very healthy...

@flexghost obvious follow-up question:

If SARS-CoV-2 is "ethnically targeted" shouldn't that demand a much more serious policy response than the US chose?

@weyoun6 solid logic right there. Something these folks do not possess.
@flexghost no, but it's a cognitive dissonance pressure point that can be, and has been, pressed for entertainment purposes if nothing else.
@flexghost He's purposely confusing correlation with causation. He's a trial lawyer; he's trained not to make this mistake. He knows his argument is disingenuous.
@Cirdan exactly. The low grade tactics of the right work on the dumb.

@flexghost

RFK is just another grifter using public office as a con job to enrich themselves.

He's funded by the same Republican billionaires behind prolonging a profitable pandemic with funded anti-vaxxer disinformation, and who funded the Jan 6 coup attempt.

@Npars01

This.

And it needs to be reported with everything he does or any time he makes the news

@flexghost JFC. Who’s the idiot woman sitting there shaking her head yes?
@flexghost Any press coverage of #RFKJr is too much. He deserves precisely as much coverage as Lyndon LaRouche's campaigns got.
