All these talking heads putting words into rfk jrs mouth. Listen to rfk jr directly. The spin is on another level.

I love how you take a small portion of a statement without putting it into context. He was describing a study that he read.

Here's the REAL question I want answered by both the Dems and the Reps. "Why are you so terrified of RFK Jr.?"

[SaraSara-tiex]

RFK Jr is not a racist. I will vote for him

[mutestingray]

Thank God the media is there to straw-man the argument after I just heard the man for myself.

[JohnnyPeacenic]

RFK is the only one that knows anything about anything

Who's the next target....what's the next target from MEDIA SPINN . !

[JohnnyPeacenic]

Its only the news media that doesn't like rfk

[greenkillsessions]

NBC snooze. You are no longer relevant

[adriennelaf]

What about the Finnish, shouldn't you be telling people he's racist about the Finnish people? Didn't you hear the whole conversation? I did and I'm not a reporter. So many lies.

Kevin McCarthy would invite Hitler to testify if he thought that would keep him in the speakership.

[jonedson]

that's not going to help him in the primaries I can tell you that against biden.

Whenever Kevin McCarthy talks to press,
now I'm wondering if he had to get permission from Trump.
Republican party = George Santos, racist Tommy Tuberville & Eli Crane,
crazy Marjorie Greene & Lauren Boebert, etc.

[markhernden]

Why wouldn't they give Jr. a platform? He's a DINO.

Dismissing a kook from the conversation isn't the same as censorship, it's called being an adult.
