Here's a list of just some of the crackpottery that simping GOP senators are going to let RFK jr walk back today:
Claimed that Americans meat producers were a “greater threat to the United States and U.S. democracy than Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network” less than a year after 9/11, and that reiterated that opinion years later. manhattan.institute/article/osama-…
Accused climate deniers of being “traitors” and proposed they face criminal prosecution in global courts. RFK is a longtime fan of censorship. nationalreview.com/2007/07/ignora…
This ProPublica piece on Amber Thurman's death is a masterclass in hackery and conjecture. There's literally nothing in the piece backing the claim that Thurman died because of GA's abortion law:
Thurman suffered complications from abortion pills. She was taken to a hospital & doctors reacted slowly. There's not a single on-the-record source saying the abortion law stopped doctors from treating any infection or removing fetal tissue. Even if they had, it wouldn’t be true.
Instead, ProPublica switches up whenever it’s convenient to interview nameless “OB-GYNs in states that outlawed abortion” to do convenient guesswork. The bulk of the piece is comprised of talking points & scaremongering meant to distract from the complete lack of evidence.
Comparing Biden's mental troubles with Reagan is such a joke. Here is Reagan at the end of his first term -- no list, just calling on reporters and coherently and succinctly answering questions.
Here is Reagan's final press conference -- where he recalls questions that reporters had asked him 8 earlier, as well other specific, historic and policy information.
Hey, remember that time Obama was trying to cut a sweetheart deal with Islamists in Iran and his allies at the New York Times created a handy online chart so that readers could track down all the Jewish politicians who opposed the president?
Echo chamber nitwits mimicked Obama's false choice re deal or war. "Though more Jewish members of Congress support the deal than oppose it, the Democrats against the deal are more likely to be Jewish or represent Jewish constituencies," it explained.
The chart listed all Democrats who opposed the deal with corresponding question: “Jewish?” Then it listed the estimated Jewish population of the constituency.
Using this standard, no individual funder of issue campaigns "backs" any candidate or cause. It's more semantic bs and Calvinball.
Kessler also claims that calling someone Soros-backed -- when they are Soros-backed-- is anti-Semitic. It's very convenient that no one is allowed to be critical of the top individual political donor in the nation. thefederalist.com/2023/03/31/lef…
