RFK Jr.

I don't see anything misleading. He goes on and on about COVID being genetically engineered to selectively target blacks and caucasians (which to him apparently doesn't include Ashkenazi Jews). He later retracted that with respect to Ashkenazi Jews, but without any indication of why - other than political blowback - his original musings were incorrect, but only to the extent that he (mistakenly? why?) included Ashkenazi Jews, and "clarifying" that he didn't suggest it was deliberately engineered to have a different impact on different races/Jews. Which only leads one to wonder what on earth he thought he was talking about, because without that idea his rambling thoughts become less offensive but more idiotic.

If anything the NY Post kind of softballed the story, in that the totatlity of  RFK's musings is even stupider than indicated.

The link you linked says this:

 

https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews/

 

Did he say that? 
 

He says there are questions, but he does not declare that Jews were spared.  He also talks about ethnic targeting of bioweapons, and that’s hardly a new idea nor particulars controversial, is it?  

 

It’s less than a two minute clip and as you’ve suggested, he hangs himself on his comments if one is inclined to see it that way.  Let his comments tell the story.  Or, preferably, let members of the democrat voting bloc support him in large numbers.

What questions?

This is the typical new-model conspiracist.

"I'm just asking questions, is that so bad?"

Questions like "why does it seem that the Jews aren't dying from COVID?" "If the Jews had conspired with the PRC to produce an ethnic-cleansing virus, wouldn't it look a whole lot like the COVID 19 pandemic?" "Who profits from COVID, Big Pharma? Don't a lot of Jews control major pharmaceutical corporations?"

Yeah. Just asking questions. Absolutely no evidence that Ashkenazi Jews (why not Sephardic Jews?) had lower COVID rates or more immunity to it than the population as a whole. In fact, some of the early publicized outbreaks in the U.S. were among hasidic (Ashkenazi by ancestry) Jewish communities.

He is just making it up. So yes, completely fair characterization. And his attempt at damage control is simply asinine. Nothing like, "I was wrong because someone gave me wrong information." Just an "oh, nevermind about the Jews. And you misquoted me!"

It's right there. He seems proud to be an idiot. And who are these fools around the table suffering his idiocy without saying a word?

But it’s not a characterization, Frank, it’s a declaration.  There’s a difference, and it’s unnecessary and manipulative.

Notice it’s Republicans selling what Bobby jr is selling and not Democrats? It’s beyond obvious (and desperate) they want their best Kanye to stick! 

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says RFK Jr. Has ‘Fooled’ Republicans With His Anti-Vax Beliefs: ‘His Policies Are Far, Far Left’

 

So I agree with Bobby Kennedy on a lot of things. But I tell you what, I think there’s a lot of Republicans that have been fooled by him. He’s not a Republican, everyone! He’s very much a Democrat.”

Here's the tell, for someone who still needs one: RFK Jr. also said "I thought we were off the record." (the reporters there disagree)

In other words, he rambled on about his deepest Jews-and-Chinese conspiracy thoughts because he thought they wouldn't quote him on that.

If he keeps polling at 20%, I say we listen to what the man has to say and keep him in the race.  
 

Btw, the Post story is deliberately misleading.  RFK is clear on what he said, crazy or not.  I never understand why these publications feel the need to rework and recreate dialogue, and why they are surprised when their credibility suffers. 

He's also has a higher favorability rating to Republican voters than Democratic voters if you believe those same polls so an Independent run could be interesting.

That’s the RFK Jr tell.  He has to answer for that, as every politician making inflammatory remarks does. 
 

I am, and have been, addressing the NY Post tell.  In other words, the headline is deceptive and manipulative, and it’s completely unnecessary regardless of how unreasonable the comments were.

I find the libs getting all up in arms over Repub's' support for RFK Jr. funny, considering all the Dem support for Trump-backed candidates in the 2022 mid-terms.

It's possible that he knew that ashkenazi Jews have a high incidence of inherited illness (as many as 1/3 have a mutation as a carrier or afflicted).  But I doubt it.  Shouldn't affect Covid infections x in the case of cystic fibrosis (where the prognosis would be much worse than average).  He's just making it up imo.  Don't they have enough problems for him to be happy?

I haven’t looked yet to see if it’s the case. But if he hasn’t blamed The Jews for his father’s assassination yet (by a Palestinian), it’s just a matter of time.

yes, I don't think Hillary ever owned up to the off the record "deplorables" comment.  She was right. He was wrong.  But they're both losers in presidential politics.

I know it must be hard to sleep with the mean orange man and MAGA lurking around the corner but middle of the night posting is never good as it relates to knowing what one is talking about. Either that or you don’t understand what “off the record” means.

You could write a book about Clinton’s hateful and troubling remarks about 40,000,000+/- citizens, most of it centered on how her supporters fervently embraced the notion without question or reflection.  
 

Still, my point here was about misleading headlines. Time to move on.

trump regularly makes hateful and troubling remarks that offend 40+ million Americans and are fervently embraced by his supporters.  It's where we are now in American politics and MAGA had a big part in getting us there.

Maybe this is the time to remind everyone that “there are good people on both sides.”

 

No matter what Hillary did or said—she was a terrible candidate, and I don’t blame anyone for being offended by the “deplorables” comment—she has never come close to the level of vitriol, divisiveness, and disinformation that Trump practiced on nearly a daily basis.
