Dore responded, “Ok, here’s what I would ask: just like Peter Hotez ducked you and Joe Rogan, I would love — because Max is the guy to talk to about this, not me. Would you do an interview with Max? Because he would be able to talk to you about this way better than I can.”

“Yeah, I would love to talk to Max,” Kennedy said in a seemingly sincere tone.

Within 24 hours, however, his communications director was frantically explaining why no such conversation could take place.

Typical Americans.

    Kennedy’s campaign managers: “oh nah he’s gonna give away the whole bag within a half-hour if we let him talk to Max”

    Eunuch shit. Absolutely ball-less. “[Kennedy’s] not debating Max Blumenthal… He’s not gonna debate anyone. He’s running for president.” Trick, and? I’d say if a person decided they were going to run for President, they owe all of the debates on their stances. Explain why you stand where you stand, and why you would make 300 million+ people pencilwhip that stance at the ballot box. Explain yourself.

      Banking on name alone to get him where he needs to be.

      Amerika loves political dynasties, but I don’t think they love em that much so as to elect a guy who doesn’t say shit about his actual plans and beliefs.

      Though sleepy Joe got elected pretty much entirely on the basis that he ain’t Trump, so who knows.

    RFK Jr made some convoluted comment about a study that said Askenazi Jews not getting COVID as much as others and that this would indicate COVID might have been created to target based on genetics.

    Regardless if this is valid or not to suggest, the Israel lobby jumped on him right away. He’s always been careful so far in saying as little as possible about Israel-Palestine but hinting he’s mildly pro-Israel.

    My guess is that he probably worked out some sort of deal with the Israel lobby to not interfere in his campaign, and he’s trying hard to re-establish that deal, at the expense of his integrity image.

    I can’t say that the guy had won my sympathy before. But as Max Blumenthal commented about this “this is further proof that you can’t currently be part of the Democratic party and have consistent values”.
