New reporting today from @washingtonpost exposes @RobertKennedyJr as a fraud on one of his key selling points to voters: his work as a plaintiffs lawyer for victims of corporate pollution.

🧵 Image Residents of a WV community affected by mountaintop removal blasted him for using them as props in a documentary:

“He took advantage of some of the poorest people in our country,” Gunnoe said recently. “He left a very bad taste in the mouths of many Appalachians.”

The @NewYorker profile of @RobertKennedyJr lays out a damning case against him- that he is a reckless, narcissistic, nepo baby who is seriously mentally unwell.

He's someone who has never cared about the consequences of his actions, including in this race...

🧵 His obsession with fame & self-promotion, along with his decision to hire a convicted bird smuggler, blew up an environmental organization that he'd joined in the 1980's

.@MalloryMcMorrow's full 🔥 speech from #AnswerTheCall2024 last night.

Some highlights in 🧵:

- "This is not the time for us to start a book club...This is the time for us to act every single day for the next 100 days." - "I'm gonna level some uncomfortable truths. A lot of people, when they get into this work, they want to do the easy thing. I'm reporting in [from Michigan]- nobody here is going to be convinced if they get a postcard in the mail from a stranger in California."

Absolutely BRUTAL Politico story for @RobertKennedyJr and his campaign. 🧵below:

- "RFK Jr. is nowhere to be seen.Instead of campaigning, the independent challenger has canceled multiple campaign events and discussed dropping out of the race and backing Trump." - "Instead of moving up in the polls, where he’s been stagnant for months, Kennedy has called for himself to be picked as the Democratic nominee to replace Biden."

There will be a lot of “takes” on tonight’s election in NY-03 and *what it means.* November is a long way away, so shelve those hot takes. Instead learn some lessons from what Tom Suozzi & Dems did here. @Tom_Suozzi went into the race w/his own brand. He’d been a mayor, county exec, & Congressman. That blunted R attacks against him as an aspiring Squad member. He did well w/Dems, held own w/indies, attracted meaningful # of GOP votes.
