The only question right now for serious political junkies is why anyone would believe a word Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says. In a Fox and Friends interview this morning the so-called "Democratic candidate" showed in no uncertain terms why he's a GOP dream - a Trojan horse to help sink Joe Biden's campaign from within.
The 3 Fox Stooges, starting with the usual yelps about "high inflation" - when it's now actually reached a low of 3 % - showed which direction they wanted RFK Jr. to go. At least here he didn't fully oblige reminding the three clowns that Fed interest rate hikes were playing a larger role, i.e. in keep mortgages and borrowing for loans unreasonably high.
But then when they jumped into other areas like why Biden refused to debate him, RFK poured it on with his claimed puzzlement and wonder. When anyone who knows political strategy understands you don't elevate a flake contender by giving him a podium to spout bollocks and put you on his same level. So Biden chooses not to debate Robert 'Flake' because there's nothing to gain and everything to lose.
As for the Fox & Friends claims the Biden campaign is in "desperation" mode and has stalled - eliciting worries from big donors - this was just scatter-brained bunkum. The FOX friends might have, before going this route, checked Murdoch's own Wall Street Journal today, e.g.:
President Biden raised a combined $72 million with the Democratic National Committee since April, surpassing Donald Trump, who brought in $35 million during the same period.
Biden's team also knows it's not useful to have him go out 18 months in advance for rallies or whatever when he can do what he does best: act the part of the President he is, such as at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Estonia the past few days.
As WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson noted on Morning Joe this a.m. "The President showed he is sharp as a tack." To which Joe Scarborough agreed citing all his economic moves as well. Also, noting the Reeps have tried their best to downplay his achievements given they've nothing else in their forlorn tanks.
When the 3 stooges asked RFK Jr. his biggest "concern" he of course spouted the usual rejoinder about the "terrible polarization, the worst since the Civil War." When pressed about the cause, he noted the "lies" but didn't offer one single critique of the Trump cult's incessant lies such as about the 2020 election, the insurrection which followed, and the storm of other B.S. they've kept stoking since.
Then there was the choice interlude where Bobby Jr. "clarified" his position re: vaccines. Stating firmly he never said he was against them, and being made to appear as a "conspiracy theorist". But that is exactly how he came over in his potboiler fabrication about the "real" Dr. Anthony Fauci. (Which incredibly has sold 1 million copies so far, showing 'Muricans' lust for bunkum has not abated.)
Also it's hard to deny the proof of this rally image from not too long ago:
And the fact the guy had been deplatformed on a number of social media sites for spreading medical misinformation on the COVID vaccines.
Anyway, he told Brian Kilmeade - one of the FOX "Friends" - that he just wants to see proper "testing of vaccines" before they're used for mass distribution. Noting in a quiet, raspy voice that would generally take about five years. Yeah, right - like we really had that kind of time horizon when Sars-Cov2 struck back in 2020. And we'd likely have seen 5 million dead in the U.S. instead of 1.1 million - with no mRNA vaccines available in time.
The last spot was funniest, showing video clips of the wonder boy at a gym doing bench presses and pushups, to which Kilmeade gushed about 'how masculine" the punk came over. RFK Jr. then admitted he was on "TRT" or testosterone replacement therapy, which I've already written about in terms of risks for prostate cancer, e.g.
Low T Therapy For Bigger Muscles? Blame This "Remedy" For Medical Interventions You Don't Want!
Of course, the whole video spot merely tried to prove RFK Jr. is "a lot more virile and healthy" than Biden. (And Kilmeade almost caught Bobby Jr. 'Muscleman' offguard when he asked why he would go this route and not accept the Covid vaccines.)
The interview, all 13 odd minutes of it, finally ended when Bobby Jr. challenged Kilmeade to a pushup contest on the set. All of this with co-host Ainsley Earhardt egging Brian to do it, while Bobby chuckled that host Brian would have to contribute to the campaign if he lost.
Go figure. I just figure RFK Jr. this morning on FOX proved he's an even bigger fool than we ever knew. He allowed himself be played for ratings by this sorry ass lot of stooges then wondered why Biden refuses to debate him.

Excerpt:
During a press event last week at an Upper East Side restaurant, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that COVID-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people.” He said that “the people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”
Targeted at Caucasians and Blacks? What?
Kennedy Jr. also charged that “the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing ethnic bioweapons and we are developing ethnic bioweapons. They’re collecting Russian DNA. They’re collecting Chinese DNA so we can target people by race.”
