The RFK Jr. hype is baffling. I know there's some clickbait value to headlines about a Kennedy saying shit you'd expect to hear from Alex Jones, but that's already lost its novelty. Feels like this media attention is being driven and it sure as hell isn't by grassroots support for this lunatic.

The only Hype I hear about RFK jr is coming from conservatives. For the longest time, I thought he was running for the republican ticket.

I mostly just dismissed him as another brain rotted conservative conspiracy nut. Still do.

I can't believe Cheryl Hines is married to this guy, and he's an open anti-semite and she works for Larry. SOOO WEIRD, I wish Larry would cut ties with these racist scum

It's hard to be an effective Russian asset from prison.

Damn, Trump's even been replaced as a foreign puppet. Wonder if he'll just kinda melt into slime from the disgrace at some point?

He has the Trump crazy, but not the Trump rizz. Trump is undeniably entertaining to watch, even as he burns shit down around him.

Seems like he's trying to out crazy everybody else. Or that's how he naturally is.

He doesn’t even have sort of a chance at all, lol. Russian propaganda is betting on a dead horse.
