Clearly the Kennedy name can still draw in the uninformed, which is why he was directed to run for president by Republicans begging for primaries

Appalling.

Cocaine is a helluva drug

It's probably just me, but is anyone else having second thoughts about this RFK Jr guy?

Like uh, Leon, or Rogan?

LAST MONTH, SUPPORTERS of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential bid created a Super PAC titled Heal the Divide. On its website, the group — whose name is borrowed from Kennedy’s own campaign slogan — advises voters that “Only Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. can unite the Nation to start healing America,” and allows visitors to donate both in dollars and cryptocurrency.

There’s nothing abnormal about a candidate getting a Super PAC, even a candidate making a long-shot bid like Kennedy’s. What is abnormal, however, is that Kennedy is running as a Democrat in the Democratic primary, while the creators of the Super PAC have a deeply pro-Donald Trump bent — including ties to arch-MAGA officials such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, George Santos, and Herschel Walker.

Federal Election Commission filings list Jason D. Boles of RTA Strategy as its treasurer and use RTA’s website and mailing address. In 2022, Greene’s campaign and leadership PAC, Save America Stop Socialism, paid the firm more than $372,000 for work on her 2022 congressional race, according to data compiled by OpenSecrets.

The Georgia-based RTA, founded by political consultant Rick Thompson, also worked for Walker in his failed 2022 Senate race in Georgia. Thompson served as custodian for Walker’s campaign committee and Boles worked as treasurer of the committee, earning the firm roughly $50,000, according to campaign-finance records. More recently, Boles and Thompson have signed on as treasurer and designated agent, respectively, for the embattled Santos after the indicted congressman struggled to find personnel to handle his campaign finances.

Reached by phone, Thompson declined to comment on the Kennedy Super PAC. “We have a strict policy at our firm that we don’t discuss our clients,” he tells Rolling Stone. And the Heal the Divide site does not advertise its Republican backing. But a mistake on the group’s website gives away its origins: The site’s terms of service appear to have been copied and pasted from MAGA PAC, a Trump Super PAC, and incorrectly refers to the Heal the Divide site as MAGApac.com.

Think about how shady every thing surrounded covid vaccines and treatments were, this explains it

Conspiracy!! Get yer gun!!

Anyone wanna guess who RFK Jr. had on his podcast to talk about Russia?

I'll give you a clue: he's a convicted pedophile.

And his name is Scott Ritter.


Any guesses?

At this point he’s just trolling for rubes.

This man deserves a fair chance by a few of you

No, he doesn’t.

Don’t call RFK Jr. a “political maverick” or “vaccine skeptic.” As Mehdi notes, his anti-vaccine effort has real-life consequences. For proof, just look at the 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa, where dozens of children died thanks to a steep drop in vaccinations. Mehdi’s deep dive looks at the deadly cost of the anti-vaccine movement Kennedy has boosted.

If he splits the Dem vote and helps get Trump back in office, I like him just fine.

Not gonna happen. He's a bigger threat to the pubs than dems--pubs eat up his kind of crazy.

Pubs will line up behind Trump. Any votes lost to RFK will be Dim votes.

RFK is running as 3rd party? I didn't know that.

Jr will run wherever Steve Bannon thinks it will benefit the twice-impeached guy who was recently convicted of being liable for sexual abuse who, when he was too little of a man to admit he lost the election in 2020, decided to try and overthrow our government, instead. Because
