As someone who suffers from spasmodic dysphonia since childhood, I have a tremendous amount of respect for him to continue with public speaking. It takes a lot of courage to face the ridicule and humiliation that goes along with this affliction.

It's no trouble to spend time listening to RFK Jr. because everything he has to say is worth while despite his spasmodic dystonia.

[sherrills.]

Was hard to listen to at first, but now that I understand...feel for him! Thank God he is able to speak and didn't affect other parts of his brain or body!!!

[kramnewton]

His illness was distracting the first time I heard him speak, but I don’t even notice it now. It is a literal joy to hear him speak.

[misssophie]

His voice has really grown on me. It makes you listen to the words more and the truths he speaks are exactly what the world needs if we want to have a future that is worth living. And he comes across as a very warm and sincere man. I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

[FloInTheCity]

It is a blessing in disguise because it makes people listen to him more intently.

What a brave and humble person RFK Jr is. The content of his talks far out way any impediment to understanding what he says, to the pint that the sound of his voice is a non-issue. Much respect and admiration for this man.

Republican here voting for RFK. There’s something about him, he’s genuine. Sure his voice isn’t attractive but his ideas and voice are a breath of fresh air in this crazy political atmosphere.

If you listen to what Robert F Kennedy jr say's, it doesn't matter how raspy his voice really is. He's telling it the way it is!

[ganderstein]

It doesn't matter how your voice is. It is what you're saying that matters. I'm very patient listening to somebody that has something truthful and sincere to say.

[cxMLG]

RFK is an open book with set goals that people have been wanting for years. Protect this man at all costs

[DocPegLegRed]

Love this man
We don’t have to share all of the same views. Thanks for just being great

[laurabarrydc]

The interviewer is so wrong: there's no conspiracy theorist here, just a rare and courageous truth-teller with genuine moral integrity. He has my vote.

[edrock]

He got my vote! I can listen to him for hours with all his knowledge and honesty.

[dt]

I would never vote Democrat especially the behavior displayed by the swamp creatures in power. But I could stand behind this man.

[antoniaboniche]

I love him for his values and his passion for restoring our country . We need him ❤

[joyrecoveryproject]

Does anybody else start feeling hopeful and happy when they read the unity expressed by people in these comments? I have never ever seen that in my lifetime and I’m over 60.

He’s got my vote, best candidate for POTUS in a long long time IMO. Why? Authenticity!!

[Devine]

It's not how you sound but the gold nuggets of truth you speak and for what you stand for..
Therefore I hear no speech impediment.
