1. What brought this on?

Did something terrible happen to RFK Jr. in the past that set him on this path toward becoming a rabid antivaxxer?

[alphafemale]

12. He saw his father assassinated on a live news feed in a hotel room alone

Could be one thing.

[applegrove]

28. That was his brother. His uncle and father were assassinated. That

is bad enough.

[lostnfound]

36. If the government had come clean about all they knew, maybe he wouldn've gone conspiracy nut

I feel sorry for him, angry at him - especially now with this stupid comment, and sad that the RFK Jr who worked with Waterkeepers Alliance has been swallowed up by this one.

[applegrove]

47. Sad.

[yardwork]

51. I hadn't thought about it that way.

That's an interesting thought.

[hlthe2b]

2. What must Ethel think of RFK's eldest son? Shameful.

[dflprincess]

40. Joe is their eldest son.

(Kathleen is the eldest child) RFK, Jr. is the 2nd son.

[hlthe2b]

42. Ok. The point remains.

[Walleye]

3. I really think all of these villains he mentions are just in business just to make money.

This man is crazy

[JanMichael]

4. What a complete loon. Coasting off of the family name.

If he wasn't a Kennedy he would be in an asylum or cult.

[roamer65]

5. Bobby would snack him in the head.

[FakeNoose]

6. What happened to make him turn out like this?

My Lord, what a disappointment he is.

[EX500rider]

7. lol...where to start

I imagine he means Elon Musk's satellites and Ann Frank hid in Amsterdam which is not in Germany.
And 5G is doing what besides faster cel phone service?

[Voltaire2]

17. Also Anne ended up getting murdered in Auschwitz.

[Behind the Aegis]

21. She died in Bergen-Belsen.

[kskiska]

25. Technically, she and her sister died of typhus

in Bergen-Belsen.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Terrible & Stupidly Inaccurate

Ms. Frank was in an attic in Holland. Not Germany.
And, they caught her, so apparently they couldn't completely hide, despite no satellites & 5G.
Guy is insane & ignorant. Seems a dangerous combination.

[Skittles]

41. using a murdered teenage girl to push his insane beliefs

unbelievably sickening

[LoisB]

9. Boy has he strayed afar.

[mucifer]

10. Wow years ago he was liberal who wasn't evil.

[NickB79]

15. Not evil? He pushed the MMR/autism myth since 2005, and still does

He's personally responsible for thousands of sick children by teaming up with that quack Wakefield even after his work was thoroughly debunked.

He was anti-vax from way back. And anti-vax is evil no matter what your political leanings.

[mucifer]

26. I listened to his radio show many years ago. he never preached anti vax. It might have been

before 2005

I am aware there are liberal antivaxxers.

I'm a pediatric nurse

[Solly Mack]

11. Wow.

Damn. How fucking stupid, clueless, and that big of an asshole does a person have to be to say that?

[milestogo]

13. Please go hide in the attic.

[Lovie777]

14. This guys doesn't know the history of Anne Frank ...

he invoked her name in this matter as a total misrepresentation and I am pissed.:

[struggle4progress]

16. Anne and her sister Margot died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen,

where Jews did not receive quality medical care

[Midnight Writer]

18. His latest anti-vax book is a best seller.

[Maru Kitteh]

43. And oft cited by the Q's on Rim-Job's Freak Republic.

So much love, suddenly, for the Kennedys.

[Deuxcents]

19. This family has suffered too much

I know he’s afflicted with a spasmodic dysphonia, which is difficult for him, I’m sure b/c he’s very well educated and used to be an advocate for environmental issues but what has happened to him?

[LymphocyteLover]

27. sucked down the conspiracy rabbit hole

he used to be relatively sane but has gotten really bad since Trump, for whatever reason

[cinematicdiversions]

38. Honestly he has been a dangerous whack job since well before Trump.

The woo is strong on this one.

[LymphocyteLover]

48. I guess... maybe during the GW Bush years he was more of a mainstream liberal/Dem

I remember listening to his radio show a bit, and he seemed ok though maybe overly focused on "vaccine safety"

[Faux pas]

20. I guess

the family brains weren't passed down to all of them. Pity but really

[Duncan Grant]

22. The reference to Anne Frank is unconscionable.

At this point, I have more credibility than he does - and I’m just some anonymous internet guy, sheesh.

[sheshe2]

23. He is bats**t crazy.

What a disappointment he turned out to be.

[jcgoldie]

24. WTF happened?

Wasn't he an environmental lawyer on the right side of things for most of his life? Or am I incorrect? WTF happened to get to this ridiculous shit?

[Deuxcents]

32. You are correct

I looked him up n he’s highly educated n tried to do much much good.. and then..

[Meowmee]

29. Horrible

So crazy… he is helping fascists to take power and misleading people to their deaths. Invoking the H and AF is disgusting. His family must be horrified.

[moondust]

30. Insane.

Absurd public endangerment. Needs confinement.

[Initech]

31. Fuck. You. RFK JR.

[Maru Kitteh]

45. That's where I am, for sure.

Fuck that guy.

I don't care WHAT you did before, Mr. K. I'm TIRED. Every other nurse I know is TIRED. I really am not sure how much longer I can do this and it is PEOPLE LIKE YOU and people that LISTEN TO YOU that prolong this hideous death cult. You deliberately injure me. You kill people and you know you are doing it.

Fuck all they way off and go straight to whatever hell you believe in.

[Initech]

52. These assholes who are comparing vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany can kindly go fuck right off.

And the fact that there were Infowars flags flying at that rally yesterday proves these jerks aren't on our side. Just... argh. I truly hate these people. When they start bringing out those references my sympathy meter immediately drops to zero. Maybe even below that.

[bullwinkle428]

33. Holy shit...he's gone completely off the deep end.

[Pachamama]

34. Ahhh - the anti-vaxxers comparing themselves as victims like the Holocaust victims...

RFK Jr went there….



Wrong to do and wrong in all ways…

[Initech]

35. This is precisely why I have zero sympathy for these shitheads!

When they go there, it really shows that they're nothing more than racist, disrespectful whiners. When they bring out the Nazi and holocaust references, they can go eat the steamiest, most rancid bag of shit out there.

[Cha]

44. RFK Jr is Gaslighting & Evoking

Anne Frank's name to do it.. apparently he doesn't trust the truth. so he wallows in Holocaust Victimhood.

He should be terribly ashamed but I have a feeling he doesn't give a damn.

[marmar]

37. Wow he has really gone off the deep end.

[Skittles]

39. that is a serious lack of decency and respect

[dflprincess]

46. Members of the family have made it clear they think he is wrong about vaccines

A big step for a family that always tried to present a united front to the public.

[MustLoveBeagles]

49. My God

I don't know what to say anymore.

[Earth-shine]

50. I used to listen to RFK and Mike Papantonio on Air America's Ring of Fire.

I thought they were the best of AA, and that's saying a lot. At the time, AA had Al Franken, Randi Rhodes, Rachel Maddow, and more.

And then, RFK drifted away. He showed up less and less on AA.

Now, he seems to embrace numerous conspiracies. He's not just anti-vax.

[ecstatic]

53. Disgusting comparison. uggh. nt

[JustAnotherGen]

54. WTAF?

[Behind the Aegis]

57. Crazy, right?!

Just when you think they can't go any lower, they say; "Watch this!".

[RobinA]

55. Whatever He's Got

it appears to be progressive. I used to think he was just misinformed, but he's now swimming rapidly towards the deep end.

There should be a foundational rule for all public figures. No references to Nazis or the Holocaust. Ever. Even if appropriate, which this comment is absolutely not.

[AngryOldDem]

56. SHAME ON HIM.

Disgusting analogy, disgusting human being.

Get help, Bob — please. You are extremely mentally ill.
