Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Nowhere Near As Good At Bullsh*tting As He Thinks He Is
He's got the NYT fooled, but not anyone who actually pays attention to him.
TL;DR
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified in three congressional hearings, facing questions about vaccines and other controversial statements.
- The New York Times reported a "tone shift" in Kennedy's statements on vaccine safety, but critics argue his language remains evasive and coded.
- Kennedy was questioned about his past remarks suggesting "wellness farms" for "reparenting" Black children, which he largely denied or downplayed.
- He was criticized for his department's handling of gun violence and Black maternal mortality, with his responses deemed inadequate or dismissive.
- Critics accuse Kennedy of prioritizing pseudoscientific beliefs over public health and ignoring real-world consequences.
