34 comments

1. Just the person we need for president

2. Omg he admit it

3. He does have worms in his brain afterall.

4. That man knows how to be courageously stupid

5. This dude has none of the political instincts of his father, uncles, or grandfather. Why would you admit this out loud?

6. His parents should have broken their Catholic oath and used contraception. What a fucking waste of oxygen.

7. well i am absolutely shocked to learn this

8. >“Somebody will send me something and I’ll go ‘Holy cow, did you see this?’,” he said, describing how he credulously forwards fake content to his children, only for them to have to correct him. (Kennedy said that, unlike him, his children can identify fake images “immediately.”)

   oh for christ sake.

9. He’s using Trump’s playbook. This will convince some people that RFK must be honest, because he’ll say ridiculous things that no politician would normally say.

10. Are his supporters reading this?

11. Cheryl Hines:

    Everything’s fine!

12. You don’t say.

13. Because he, and those who would follow such a fool, lack any understanding or concern for epistemology.

14. In one wormhole out the other.

15. No shit?

    If you are anti-vax you have fallen for online misinformation.

16. I wouldn’t trust RFK Jr. to watch my dog let alone get anywhere near the White House.

    RFK Jr. is weirder than Trump.

17. Does anyone feel like RFK Jr. has middle child energy? Like older sister Kamala is the composed leader, Trump is the petulant toddler, and RFK is the middle child just trying his best to get some attention a la bear carcasses and brain worms.

18. he’s anti-vaxx. We KNOW

19. He misspelled “propagate.”

20. And yet he felt is was suitable for president. 🙄

21. Smart people can be stupid. It’s not about brains, it’s about emotional damage. This schlub is soaking in it. He embarrasses his whole family, the dead and the living.

22. We know.

23. LOL well no shit sherlock.

24. Wow we had no idea. Atleast he doesn’t spread it publicly on various extremely popular podcasts

25. My question is how did Cheryl Hines “fall for” this nut?

26. Joe Rogan: He’s just like me

27. I love that RFK is the most honest person to ever run for president.

    “Oh yeah I believe everything on Facebook”

    “Oh yeah I dumped a dead bear in the park”

    “Oh yeah I had a freezer full of road kill”

    “Oh yeah I had brain worms”

    “Oh yeah I hung out with Epstein a few times”

    Dude is nuts but also a straight madlad

28. So basically he’s running to be Joe Rogan’s co-host.

29. Yeah mfer we can tell

30. For democracy and an informed public, its great that someone is admitting they’ve been fooled by AI and misinformation. The amount of information out there is absurd; each person cannot be expert on all topics so its important that we lower the threshold to admitting “we were conned by misinformation”.

    That said, Kennedy’s belief that we just need to allow AI to look at vaccines also shows how he doesn’t really understand the state of science, privacy, or the amount of misinformation if 10,000 citizen data scientists were to try their hand creating data models for vaccine efficacy.

31. Future Headline:

    > RFKJr drops out of race after reading online misinformation stating that RFKJr had dropped out of the race

32. I’m going to copy and paste this info. Brainworm, here, is directly responsible for 83 Samoan deaths when he spread anti-vax misinformation there
