A new low for democrats
Link to Quote: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: I Was Slandered At House Hearing And Was Not Allowed To Talk, "I Was In An Upside-Down World" | Video | RealClearPolitics
Yesterday Robert F Kennedy Jr. was testifying during a House hearing over online censorship. For those who missed it, it was a new low for the party controlled by the radical left. You may recall the former DNC Chairwoman, who sandbagged Bernie Sanders for Hillary Clinton, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She is now a representative from Florida believe it or not. She was the first to personally target Kennedy. She brought up comments made by Kennedy at a dinner party where he referred to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health and conducted by “Cleveland Clinic scientists, which claimed that Chinese and Ashkenazi Jewish people were less likely to get Covid-19 while Caucasian and Black people were targets of the disease. Schultz, who looked like she had been sleeping in the woods, claimed that Kennedy never cited the study and spoke as if the claim was his opinion. Kennedy and Schultz began to talk over one another as the hearing quickly degenerated into a slap fight.
We know how democrats tend to plot and scheme, so where Schultz left off Stacey Plaskett picked up on the defamation. Here is how it went when RFK Jr tried to respond:
You can clearly see a bit of how defiant and uncivil the ranking member is from that clip.
Btw, in case people haven't noticed, the democrats are elevating their most radical members to the position of "ranking member" at these hearings. Probably because Jamie Raskin will be retiring. The other day we saw AOC as the ranking member. Yesterday was the rabid hater from the Virgin Islands. In case you don't know, the House now allows for non-voting members from US territories!
Did we ever think we would see the day that democrats would go out and try to destroy the reputation of a Kennedy? For today's democrats, which are the most extreme radicals in American history, it's about protecting Joe Biden, the senile fool who serves the American left. That is all that matters, and they will do anything at this point to win the next election .

Robert F Kennedy Jr is a lifelong democrat from a family that was once admired by democrats.
I guess you could say: A strange thing happened yesterday.
It wasn't strange.
Democrats just had to prove they are bigger hypocrites than Republicans. They criticized Republicans for casting out Liz Cheney after she became Pelosi's hand picked puppet for the Jan 6th committee. At least Republicans didn't line her up in front of a political firing squad and not allow her a chance to speak or defend herself.
Kennedy Jr is done as a Democrat. It doesn't matter what his past record and achievements are. It doesn't matter he belongs to a party that has the most anti-Semitic politicians around in the squad. He had the temerity to go against a Biden; and "No one fucks with a Biden"- to use Joe's own words.
At this point he will be lucky if he can land a job as a regularly paid for political expert on Fox. None of the leftist media will touch him after this.
Well done!
Oh please. What he said came across as totally antisemitic. Literally, every Jewish group has come out against it.
Did he say it or was he citing a study?
I think that was the sticking point of that argument.
Bucking partisanship is the opposite of hypocrisy. I understand how someone who lives party uber all might have a hard time imagining this, but party loyalty should never be the top priority; truth, honesty, doing what is best should be the top priorities.
Hypocrisy would be to defend RFK, Jr.
Blind partisanship is the opposite of objective, honest reasoning.
There are far bigger ant-Semites in the Democrat party- namely the squad.
Don't see them getting called to the carpet and facing a political firing squad; much the less being run out of the Democrat party.
Learn the definition of hypocrisy.
Did Democrats blast Republicans for running Liz Cheney out of the party for being a Pelosi puppet? Yes
Did the Democrats just run Kennedy out of the party claiming he was being used as a tool of the Republicans to promote their narrative? Yes
That is the very definition of hypocrisy.
Democrats attacking one of their own for not toting the party line; while criticizing Republicans for doing the same.
Politics as usual in the DC swamp.
Leftists eating their own and being proud of it. Wish they would turn their not so loving gaze to the squad. Get rid of their racist, anti-Semite, radicals that are harming the country.
Your posts are always emotional and extreme. Get a grip.
and untrue and PD&D plus delusion
What he said was:
Earlier in the week, there was an article up by a conservative source, that said he made the comment because he was a Dem and that dems are bigots, and now the complaint is that the Dems are trying to take him down because he can hurt Biden. You just can't have it both ways.
they think they can...
example - you can't touch their ex POTUS for what he did while he was in office, while they promote the idea of prosecuting joe during his term.
No, no, Perrie. They have the special cake that you can keep and eat, too.
Okay, let’s get in the weeds. A more complete accounting of what he said is:
From this link:
Emphasis on the last sentence. I don’t know the man but it’s clear the left is trying to manipulate his comments to achieve the greatest negative effect. Meanwhile old hoof in mouth disease Joe gets free passes regularly.
It’s messed up and you know it.
I understand that Perrie, but he claims he read that from a study conducted by the " Cleveland Clinic scientists."
As far as a Conservative story goes, please note that the New York Post was first to condem his anti-Semitic theories:
You have a point.
As much as I dislike them, the dems took him down for the right reason.
Vic,
Kennedy was walking it back after he made it.
I knew about the NY Post story. It was where I read it first.
Thanks for that, Vic.
No, he never does.

Who are the 'Cleveland Clinic scientists'?
PD&D plus delusion.
He is an embarrassment to the Kennedys. Anything he has done for the environment in the past negates his whackjobbery. He's fucking nuts.
He's an embarrassment to Democrats.
I meant to say - 'is negated by his whackjobbery'
Past accomplishments mean nothing. What has he done lately?
Did you make up whackjobbery or is that now a real word?
How about fucking nuts?
They're real words
I love whackjobbery as a word! I just cannot figure out if it sounds better hyphenated or all together...
Guess there's a black sheep in every family.
No anti-vaxxer is family to me.
So... You think that Dems should rally behind a man who believes that vaccines are a deep state plot simply because his uncle was President back in the 60s?
Would you rally behind Don Jr. after he left Guilfoyle for Dylan Mulvaney?
I still admire the Kennedys - just not this whackjob Jr. and he is no Democrat IMHO.
What’s not to admire. John frequently cheated on Jackie. Jackie got $3 million up front when she married Aristotle and $150 thousand per year for life plus $25 million when he died.

Who wrote this? [Deleted] All this 'we know' and 'we' - who is we and how do you know these things? It sounds like it's just made up as the 'author' goes along?
"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) lambasted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Thursday, accusing the long-shot Democratic presidential contender of promoting racism and conspiracy theories — and being a pawn in the Republican effort to topple President Biden."
Kennedy trying to speak
Not sure why Jeffries has his panties in a wad. RFK is acting just as a good Democrat acts.
It appears that Kennedy questioned the mandates of "the experts" during the pandemic. That is another No-No!
Oh that's right. He went against the hive and now he has to pay.
And the Representative-at-large wants a rule so that certain people only get to speak in private hearings because Kennedy is expressing "hate speech" I guess.
To put it in Plaskett's own words "Free speech is not absolute."
Of course that flys in the face of the 1st Amendment, but obviously, the left sees the Constitution as an obstacle. It was written by white men after all!
Plus, he's doing a pretty good job running against a flailing Biden in the primaries. That scares the sh!t out of the Marxist Left Dems who need to get Biden back in for Obama's 4th term so they can move ever-forward into "transforming" the USA to a totalitarian, authoritarian state.
Do you actually believe this nonsense? Do you actually believe that genuine Marxists (these would be people who seek to dismantle capitalism) want Biden because he supports their cause of dismantling capitalism and that Biden is trying to impose a totalitarian, authoritarian (pick one) state??
Hell, a carcass could do that. It's not like Biden has any successes to run on.
That would explain the "finish the job" nonsense the blundering idiot has been screeching.
(another one) Good grief.
Do you actually believe Biden is trying to impose totalitarian rule in the USA??
Believe what you wish. Your opinions do not matter to me.
Speaking of "run" ... have you noticed that Biden's sporting sneakers as his new fashion statement even when wearing a business suit? Maybe it helps him give that well-known Obama trot that he tries so hard to emulate that's supposed to show us how young and fit he is at 80.
He also yells, "Watch me!" Bizarre behavior for a US president.
It is not my belief that is in question. It is yours.
You deflected from my question. That suggests you actually believe the nonsense you wrote yet cannot muster even a feeble support of same.
Who do you think is going to believe that Biden is trying to impose totalitarian rule (or possibly even the lesser authoritarian rule) and that he is trying to dismantle capitalism?
That one always made me laugh. Watch him what, fall down? Talk incoherently? Wander aimlessly around with no clue where he's going?
Watch this...............must've been the "speech" was cutting into his nap time..................
First, the bumbling speech excerpt..........
And then, the exit, stage left
Tell me this guy has it together without "Joey's little helper" whatever they give him. Wake up Dems.....................
[deleted]
He is always spewing that 'Marxist Left Dem' nonsense while never explaining just what is 'Marxist Left Dem'?
All some seem to have is PD&D plus delusion.
You all are the ones who need to wake up.
They do to many of us here.
They are simply emotive words haphazardly inserted to fear monger. They illustrate a fundamental lack of understand of Marxism, totalitarianism and authoritarianism.
Marxism is, at its core, anti-capitalism. It is a philosophy for empowering workers (those who do not own the means of production and distribution) wherein they assume democratic control over the economy. It is majority control rather than minority control by a small minority of leading capitalists.
To suggest the D party or Biden is attempted to dismantle capitalism in the USA is flat out absurd.
Totalitarianism and authoritarianism are different. The phrasing "a totalitarian, authoritarian state" is confused. Totalitarianism is a more restrictive (controlling) form of authoritarianism. It is like saying, "a square rectangle". No need to add 'authoritarian' is one is speaking of 'totalitarianism': pick one term.
The idea that the D party is attempting to impose authoritarian rule (much less totalitarianism) is demonstrably absurd.
Further, Marxism is about economically empowering the majority whereas authoritarian / totalitarian rule is about empowering the minority (those who control the state).
In short, if anyone sees USA politics deemed 'Marxist' or 'Totalitarian' or 'Authoritarian' one can rest assured that they are reading (confused) fear-mongering language.
To be credible, you should give several examples of my saying what you claim I "always" spew.
Seems easy to do:
Are you claiming that this is the only time you have expressed the notion of a 'Marxist Left Dem'?
I am sure you know that several = more than one. Tessy clearly stated that I always spew.
Are you claiming that this is the only time you have expressed the notion of a 'Marxist Left Dem'?
(As starters.)
Jasper, there is literally no way that TiG's comment could be ignoring an impasse when it was made before you issued an impasse. This is frivolous flagging - sandy
I appreciate the time you take to properly inform with truth, facts, logic, and reason.
You have the patience of Job.
This comment stands. Jasper, you impassed TiG. You impassing TiG has no bearing on whether or not Tessy can converse with TiG. If you want to prevent Tessy from commenting, you must impasse her - sandy
Funny, some throw up a roadblock to answering honest questions on comments that they make. Thus, they have no answers and do exactly as you claimed in post 2.1.19.
Same thing - this is NOT a violation of impasse - sandy
Your unbiased source for this is what?
So you're saying this whackjob is an expert? On what? Being a whackjob?
Then show me the policies where Biden is trying to dismantle capitalism and introduce authoritarian (and even more ridiculous, totalitarian) rule. Extreme exaggerations like this do nothing but harm the credibility of those who express them.
I am no fan of Biden, but I am a fan of honesty and the partisan hyperbole is over the top.
Explain how some people can believe that Biden is trying to dismantle capitalism in the USA and how he is trying to impose authoritarian (and, more ridiculous, totalitarian) rule.
Then explain how some cannot bring themselves to acknowledge any wrongdoing by Trump.
If the gop love RFK Jr so much they can have him!
His family and The Democratic Party or over him...
So we can have him & Manchin & Sinema & everybody who may stand in the way of the dumb ass traitor in the White House?
Nope, Manchin is a Democrat and Sinema is on her way out and will be replaced, kind of the way Liz Cheney is disowned by the gop!
That may change at any time.
They're all DINOS and scumbags.
That was the last president. Remember January 6th?
Some folks are trying their best not to!!!!!!
That does indeed describe the former 'president' to a T
She started out as a "Republican" and was appointed by establishment Republican George W Bush to the Civil Division of the DOJ. However, during the 2008 election she switched to the democratic party, which is open to radical ideas.
Yep, free speech is not absolute.
It’s what Dem’s like Plaskett tells you it is.
No freedom is absolute.
The Court continues to reaffirm the right of speech:
the Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that a former cheerleader's online F-bombs about her school is protected speech under the First Amendment.
But in an 8-1 vote, the court also declared that school administrators do have the power to punish student speech that occurs online or off campus if it genuinely disrupts classroom study. But the justices concluded that a few swearwords posted online off school grounds, as in this case, did not rise to the definition of disruptive.
Free Speech is based on all speech, especially what we don't like to hear.
Yep, Free Speech is a cake walk when you agree with what’s being said. It only gets hard when you don’t.
A lot of politicians would do well to truly understand the concept.
Exactly
That doesn't mean it's absolute. Absolute freedom is literal anarchy. You can't have civilization without rules, and rules are checks on freedoms. Weren't you aware of that? I mean, F-bombs online? Big deal.
What does your quote from NPR have to do with Plaskett, anyway? In that hearing she was talking about harmful mis- and disinformation, "hateful and abusive rhetoric." Like spreading ridiculous and completely unfounded conspiracy theories on social media that can lead to morons violently targeting one group or another, or even named individuals.
And according to RFK Jr she was lying or at least misrepresenting what he said. If I have to pick, I pick RFK as to who to trust between those three.
Honestly? Sheesh. You should go watch some clips of him on YouTube. He's a crackpot.
Yes honestly.
The Progressive Industrial Complex (PIC) is attacking him. In committee and out. He threatens liberal votes for their chosen one so he must be removed at all costs.
That’s how the PIC rolls …..
Plaskett, Schultz, Jeffries, and others shamefully proved that they definitely don't this week.
Freedom of speech is absolute.

And everyone knows that it is nonsense. If we censor him, we'll have the lab leak theory censored as well.
Except for outright lies which is all the far right does these days.
The left never lies- especially Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine (whose whole life is one massive lie); Adam Schiff (still waiting on his evidence that will take down Trump); throw in every Democrat that bought into the Russian Collusion hoax; Eric Swalwell (I am sure he told more truths the Chinese spy that was in his staff than to the American people); and far more.
A litmus test for the slightest hint of objectivity: to which does the above apply more?:
Biden : "whose whole life is one massive lie" ?
Trump : "whose whole life is one massive lie" ?
Biden is the leading candidate for D nomination and Trump is the leading candidate for R nomination. So spare us all the cliché "but Trump" crap.
Examples with unbiased sources are?
Deliberate lie speech, will and is destroying the freedom of free speech.
The idea that RFK Jr. could ever be president of the United States is absurd.
I feel sorry for whats left of his famed family that now has the embarrassing albatross of his political career associated with them.
RFK was a beloved figure in the mid-1960's. To have his namesake son behave like this is sad and appalling.
Even if it came down to him vs Trump?
I feel sorry for whats left of his famed family that now has the embarrassing albatross of his political career associated with them.
What is left of them?

I never liked spoiled brats.
God help us if it ever came down to that.
It would be fascinating to watch the media do a 180 on Kennedy.

Opinions do vary.
Thanks for yet another comment that doesnt actually mean anything. You are quite good at that.
This article is not about me John.
He's a fucking embarrassment and a whackjob and a blight on his father's name.
RFK Jr went against the hive.
Now he must be attacked.
Just when you think the dems have reached the bottom they prove you wrong
Projection
Finally. An admission.
I see this as the Ds working to eliminate that which could siphon votes away from Biden.
In that regard, this is politics as usual.
What the Ds should be doing is talking Biden out of running while trying to talk solid candidates —especially those who have served as governors— (e.g. Tim Walz) into running.
I know that will never happen, but that would be the responsible thing to do.
RFK JR will siphon more votes from the Republicans. He hits all their most recent populist talking points. Vaccines, Isolationism and Federal Government accountability reform.
I'm rooting for him to take Trump votes. Now if only a cold noodle would challenge Biden for the nomination.
I suspect you are in a rare minority with that expectation.
I probably should have thought this expectation through as it would require RFK Jr to run as an independent at some point. I have no idea if that is even a possibility.
A simple check on RFK's speeches confirms everything a non-MAGA would say about the man. I would not be surprised if he has foreign intelligence connections designed to confuse, divide and harden the American people against each other.
He's a Kennedy, c'mon he's obviously connected to Cuba, Russia,... etc.
The Kennedys are dead.
Another all inclusive leftist./S
Trying to take away a man's family name, his heritage, as well as his party.
What class.
Of whom do you speak?
The funny thing about RFK Jr is that he should be a darling to liberals. He has a long history of protecting waterways, fighting for indigenous rights and being a strong advocate for renewable energy but alas …. he made the mistake of going against the hive and the chosen one on mandatory COVID vaccinations.
Now he must be destroyed
"Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed tactics Sunday and demanded for the first time an investigation into possible corruption by President Joe Biden, his party’s standard bearer."

So, another nothingberder.
Biden family corruption?
It is the greatest scandal in history with the greatest coverup!
So another investigation into nothing?
The CONServatives are so good at that. This dumb whackjob is no Democrat.
A July 2023 poll by The University of New Hampshire of likely Democratic Primary voters asked for a one word description of Biden & Kennedy (word size relative to response frequency):
Since you didn't attribute this poll to its source, I am happily doing it for you. The authors requested that we do this on page 1 of 18.
I encourage all interested readers to read the entire link before making an educated assessment of this poll. Comment 11.3 is a mere snippet of an 18 page poll.
