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.

@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.
