Robert F. Kennedy Jr. comes from one of America's most renowned families: The Kennedys. A longtime environmental advocate, RFK Jr. is now a democratic candidate for the President of the United States.

RFK Jr. spent much of his life as an attorney going to bat for the environment and holding those destroying it accountable. In 1999, he was named one of Time Magazine’s ‘Heroes of the Planet’ for his environmental work.

While much of the first half of his life was dedicated to combating eco-terrorism, the second half would shape up to look something like a really long episode of ‘InfoWars.’

In the early 2000s, RFK Jr. took a turn down conspiracy lane, claiming vaccines cause autism.

Though RFK Jr. might not pose a significant threat to Joe Biden at the moment, he has caught the attention of prominent Republicans.

Never mentioned his stance on the military industrial complex, Julian Assange, regulatory capture... the list goes on

[audrachristine]

He also isn’t anti-vaccine, he just wants better, safety studying, and to not have corporate capture of our regulatory agencies that are supposed to regulate the pharmaceutical companies! And by now I would hope that most people realize that that’s what they’ve become. Scott Gottlieb that Trump appointed came straight from Pfizer, he also de defended makers of oxycontin in court, and made $3 million from pharma companies the year before he was appointed as FDA Director, then he went right back to Pfizer!

Who pays the bills for NowThis is the question you have to ask with this kind of propaganda they're producing.

[JG-llpg]

Lots of hit pieces but no debates where RFK jr can respond to the allegations directly. He has spoken about some of them. This kind of journalism is biased and cowardly.

[AmishEcstasy]

the older I get, the time between a conspiracy theory and reality gets shorter and shorter

[Bassmachine]

Calling RFK Jr antivax lmao, this guy clearly has not done his research.

[jimmyaguilar]

I always gotta hit the comments section ASAP, the only people I can trust. My fellow citizens.

[themachine]

If you ever want to teach someone about propaganda by giving an example, show them this.

[robertamineo]

Judging by the comments this smear didn’t work.😉

[craig]

Why not speak directly with RFK Jr? Nobody cares what you say ABOUT him? Speak WITH him and earn some credibility.

[karensignore]

this piece is doing the same cherry picking that is accusing RFK jr of doing. it's taken much of what he says out of context. this is not informative this is a hit piece

[teh_Hiko]

Narrator even sounds like a political puppet. This video is such a hit piece its painful. (signed - a registered democrat)

[lorib]

Just a hit piece full of lies, listen to his speeches and not these short cherry picked clips to make him look bad!

[AroundTheWorldWithEase]

Pointing out that tweet from Cheryl and likening them to the Conways was really hollow and pathetic. How do they not realise voters can see right through that?

[itstipacanoeandrileytoo]

I know who he is. RFKJR is the man who’s got my vote. I may not agree with everything he says but he’s got my vote.

[svemory]

You guys have not researched past MSNBC

[Nabbsiixnmlsnnfus]

Best comments section ever, gives me faith in humanity again 😃 it doesn’t matter who you voted for last time around, RFK Jr is everything we need in a President especially in this critical time and we can come together over the things we agree about and have respectful debates over the things we don’t. Honesty is what we need most and courage to stand up to powerful interests that don’t align with the interests of the people, we CANNOT have another term with a puppet of those powerful interests no matter which party they are aligned with

[geneekim]

RFKJr is my candidate. He is a man of integrity who will address the capture of government agencies by big business. The government no longer works for the American people and this must stop. Mainstream media ignores or defames RFK Jr because the powers that be are afraid of his candidcy because he will bring needed reform! He has my support!

[mattmisanthropy.]

*The first time the comment section has actually not disappointed me. Good job people! Sit tf down NowThis Originals.*

[ILikeantlers]

Seriously vote for him please stop the biden trump disnar going on
