Robert Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and joined the Trump team in return for a likely Health and Human Services directorship. I agree with Kennedy’s platform that the average American diet is dreadful and toxic. Unwholesome food additives and chemicals permeate our food supply. I don’t agree with his opinion on other issues. His abhorrence of vaccines is ludicrous. Excellent studies show the benefit and safety of vaccines. Despite reams of good data presented to him by highly respected scientists and physicians, Kennedy will not revise his thinking. It is dangerous to be this closed minded.

His stance on Ukraine is bizarre. He paints Putin as the victim of American hegemony. I’ve been to Russia. It is not a free country. Putin controls the press like the dictator he is. Anyone who opposes him ends up in a gulag. Putin is not the victim here. The people of Ukraine are victims and should be supported. As much as I’d like to praise Kennedy over what he wants to do vis-a-vis food sourcing, he simply can’t be trusted. His comments on other matters are outlandish or patently false. One very recent example; Kennedy said Trump’s name was invoked hundreds of times during the Democratic Convention, then tells us the RNC mentioned Biden only two times in four days. He praised Republicans for demonstrating national unity. In fact, Biden was denigrated by name 400 times during the GOP convention. Two vs four hundred. Has Kennedy’s dead brain worm affected his thinking?
