Can't blame you if you shut off the RFK hearing yesterday. His storm of lies was exhausting.

I watched it and the one throughline shows why Republicans love him so: He wants to take your health care away. Not just vaccines — all of it.

An analysis.

"Kennedy stuck to his shtick of reframing health as a matter of private virtue rather than public concern... His view that sick people did it to themselves & deserve what's coming to them offers a nifty justification for Republicans' long-standing desire to deny health care to millions of Americans... the message came through loud & clear: Medical patients are parasites who suck up resources"

@AmandaMarcotte Thanks for the article. That 'former democrat' BS is getting old on multiple levels. Most people that are former dems, in my experience, are because they are bigots of some sort. That 'dems go to far' thing. RFK jr. clearly has a subtext of bigotry that connects his disparate answers together

@timo21 @AmandaMarcotte Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond being excellent early proofs of your theory. Well, "excellent."

@lyda We heard that 'dems go to far' thing in this last election also, with the MAGA that happen to be teamsters, for instance. The dems only lost them because the people leaving were bigots. Kennedy fits right in with them.

@AmandaMarcotte Who does Kennedy think is in those long lines at fast food drive ups at 6 PM every night, picking up dinner on the way home? It's not his rich buddies. That's the food people can afford. Families where people have more than one job each don't have time to cook food at home.

@AmandaMarcotte

That's one reason Trump really, really wants him to run HHS. Bobby Kennedy Jr wants to take away your healthcare, Donald Trump wants to take away your govt.

@AmandaMarcotte RFK Jr.'s patented recipe for every patient: Just tell yourself you're healthy! It worked with me & my brainworms!😎🤔

Conservative National Review writer Dan McLaughlin on RFK Jr.:

“Enemy of Life,” “Enemy of Liberty and Law,” and “Enemy of Public Health.”

@AmandaMarcotte Who knew Trump's concept of a health plan was a concept to hand it over to AI companies.
