This lying liar is exposed by John Oliver. If you think this piece of shit is compelling in November, please find out what an absolute shitbag he is. They’ve got the receipts.

    😂 Give people a little bit of a break, if they were looking his direction maybe they just thought his shit stunk less than Trumps. There was a moment when people were hoping there was anyone else besides Trump and Biden to consider, and for some, it was him. I trust John Oliver though, so I’m ready to learn what I did not know about this guy. (He was never going to win anyway) And whatever I learn about him, I bet he’s still not as horrible as Trump. Educate me John, let’s see what I was unaware of about him.

    (Lying liar? He’s in politics…aren’t they all lying liars? Isn’t that just a given?)

      I’m Canadian so I can’t vote in the US of course. But like you said, he didn’t seem worst than Trump. On the contrary. He was a much better candidate. And as for Biden, as good a guy that he could be, he was way too old. So yeah, RFK seemed like a good compromise. I mean imagine how bad it is to get to that point.

          Can you, like, chill? Please don’t be so eager to insult people like this.

          And who said I was endorsing him? We’re just talking about the guy. Sheesh!

        Once you read about him he is pretty much the same thing. Everything was handed to him. He had to ask for nothing. Had absentee parents that allowed the privileged spoiled kid become a privileged spoiled adult. The only redeeming feature was his ability to go sober and the years he did his community service as a lawyer for an environmental firm. Dude abused women, went to Epstein Island, and his interference with vaccines has caused deaths. He will say or do anything to get attention as long as he doesn’t have to do the work. Sound familiar?

      He’s a vaccine denier. Edit: Trump was awful at handling COVID but he was not antivax.

      TLDR: On the small island of Samoa, poor hospital management caused muscle relaxant to be administered instead of measles vaccinations in some children and there were injuries and deaths. In the wake of this RFK flew there and spread his antivax nonsense (he makes money off books about this). Afterword there’s a measles outbreak and 83 children and infants died.

      It’s pretty hard to compare him and Trump because he never had the power Trump did. Anyone who thinks he’s a reasonable alternative is totally misinformed.

      I can’t wait for what John Oliver has to say. The man is a train wreck.

      He’s a lying liar because he pretends not to be anti-vax and then pushes harmful ideas that got children killed in Samoa and denied responsibility. He was never going to win, but he could affect the outcome by changing the balance in swing states. He’s a piece of shit for a lot of reasons.

      Maintenance Phase podcast did a nice takedown. Behind the Bastards podcast did another nice takedown. The John Oliver segment is much shorter and still gets a lot of important info out.

      I’m not sure if there’s any firm polling data, but it seemed to me when it was between Biden and Trump, RFK mainly appealed to the voter who wouldn’t have voted otherwise. Obviously that spoils the percentage needed to win, but I think it’s a fool’s errand to try to win over the remaining voters who are still for him after Harris entered the race. Getting more people out to vote should be the focus and I’m happy to see the Harris campaign bringing the energy to do so.
