Democrats put RFK Jr. on blast in change of strategy

Democrats are no longer trying to ignore Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and have taken to calling him out in public after a week of controversies. National party leaders for the first time acknowledged Kennedy’s disruptive presidential bid with sharp criticism, and lawmakers met his claims of censorship head-on during his testimony on Capitol Hill.

This comment has nothing to do with the content of the article. You're posing in a community to discuss politics in general. If you have an issue with any particular point the article makes, feel free to explain.

I personally agree with the perspective that we shouldn't elect people who make claims about infectious disease which are easily refuted by science.

Kennedy this week drew backlash for asserting without evidence that COVID-19 was “ethnically targeted” — a claim infectious disease and ethics experts refuted. Kennedy was caught on video by a reporter saying Chinese people and Ashkenazi Jews were not targeted as much as other races, including Black and white people.

You’re right, though, my comment has a lot to do with the neoliberal content of the article. Actual leftists never took RFK Jr. seriously in the first place and laugh at tribalist content like this. However, I guess it’s necessary so we can get Joe “never seen a MBNA bribe or corporate handout he didn’t like” Biden to narrowly defeat the orange criminal and give us four more years of driving our Chevy Suburban to a Starbucks drive-through on the way to the house we’re currently flipping while our kids can’t afford their student loans and rent (but should probably cut back on avocado toast and grind more) and the world chokes to death on pollution.
