During remarks to FDA employees today, RFK Jr touted his work for the Special Olympics but shocked several FDA employees when he said he spent 200 hours in high school working with “the retarded.”

I don’t like the guy but this is misleading. The name of the place he worked had the slur in it (which I assume wasn’t considered a slur when he was in high school.)
Politico has changed the wording and you probably should too.
How low is your IQ that you can't think up other words to express yourself. Or, maybe he has Tourettes and can't control it. Maria Shriver, its your turn...
His age is showing. Yes, that term was used much more often when he was a child growing up in the 50’s & 60’s.
But it also fully displays his inability (or unwillingness) to evolve, change & grow-and to use more appropriate terminology-so still a really bad look.
I don’t actually think he’s okay.
Awful. Does he not realize the worm in his brain makes him “re***ded?” I was in high school in the 60s and no one called anyone the despicable r word then or since. This whole thing is so bad.
His aunt if she was still alive would bitch slap him until the cows came home! He seems to have forgotten that one of his aunts was mentally challenged. After his grandfather screwed her up royally. Remember Rosemary Kennedy, who lived out her days in a mental hospital. 🗽🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻
Who in the name of God would hire someone so inept oh that’s right it’s Trump,Trump Hired only the worst Americans so they could kill us all and that’s his goal. See how many Americans he can kill at the end of his hundred days.
None of the Kennedys in the entire extended family except one felt it was a good idea for RFK Jr to run for president and they made this big show of like twenty of them endorsing Biden en masse. His own family knows he's a scumbag.
The Kennedys earned an unwarranted demigod status. It's one thing to laud their accomplishments but they were all greedy pigs too. --Old Person from Mass.
As the sister (and now guardian) of someone diagnosed at birth with what they used to call “mental retardation,” RFK Jr can go fuck himself. Keep your hands off the special needs community, you monster.
I'm also adding the fact that he had a brainworm and mercury poisoning. All this brain damage can be a factor for his vocal cord issues. He admits it himself that he has cognitive issues.
Yeah, he’s got real problems. His voice thing is called spasmodic dysphonia, which isn’t curable. But all the other stuff is definitely cooked up in whatever’s left of his brain.
This shocks everyone why? The President mocked those with disabilities, while insinuating when you are a star you can do anything. There are no guardrails.
I have friends of Co-Workers who are in Special Olympics, and now RFK Jr is not hiding that word no more, what is next, forcing the Government to remove more benefits to Autistic people just to fund and Rebuild Mental Asylums for Gas Cambers, Shock Treatments & Lobotomies that promote Death to us?
Nice, and we wonder WHY every MAGA Cult Moron uses the term “retarded” which so lacking in any class, education or awareness of others with intellectual disabilities
I don't know about the deep state, but all I can say is we are in deep shit with this guy… he's much scarier than any deep state or deep anything else…
“During remarks to FDA employees today, RFK Jr touted his work for the Special Olympics but shocked several FDA employees when he said he spent 200 hours in high school working with “the retarded.””
Honestly, stop even using that term/phrase because it’s a simple identifier for mass surveillance shit if they’re truly able to ramp it up in coming months.
After all, it’s always projectionism with these people.
Yep, they use it as a label for any political objectors, yet court file & criminal cases against priests, law enforcement, republican politicians proves otherwise.
Kennedy is frighteningly, willfully ignorant. He either has no shame or truly believes these ridiculous claims. Perhaps when he was “volunteering” PPP pop oò he w
Did this motherfucker even have a brain worm? I thought that was a ploy to gain advantage in divorce proceedings that was mooted when his 2nd wife killed herself?
What a disgrace to the Kennedy name, his aunt Rosemary Kennedy, the sister of President John F. Kennedy, had developmental delays and a mental age between 8 and 13, and in 1941, at age 23, she underwent a lobotomy that left her permanently incapacitated.
let's also be clear that this was just a nepo volunteer situation since his aunt founded it (after his family lobotomized and institutionalized his other aunt).
Disgusting man.
And to claim that people are sicker these days due to ‘environmental toxins’ - yet this regime endorses using fossil fuels & guts the EPA
Chronic pain in his day was generally dealt with by excessive drug & alcohol use. His own aunt was lobotomized for depression. Not Great Health
I wonder if his cousins know he worked for the Special Olympics. And using the R word says if he did he only did it to make nice with his relatives and not because he believed in it
A correction appended to the article seems to clear him on this count, at least: “Correction: This article and headline have been updated to make clear that Kennedy was referring to the Wassaic State School for the Mentally Retarded where he worked in high school, not using a derogatory term.”
Thats a cute excuse but that’s not how the school is referred to these days. They don’t have a slur in their common name. I don’t know whether or not they legally changed it but this excuse is a stretch.

What an insult...!

I don’t actually think he’s okay.
I guarantee he only worked there because he was forced to for appearances sake.
I wonder what small cruelties he inflicted on the participants to get revenge on being forced to be a decent person.
The man is NOT right.
Nothing to brag about since
Just like Donald the evidence of who he really is was always right there out in the open
He’s a whack job
(My professional opinion and accepted medical terminology by me)

The oaf can't exhibit sensitivity to his own family.
His Aunt was the founder of the special Olympics.
You're trying to put them on a pedestal for things they did to try and maintain their image despite what they did to an innocent woman.
I’m not putting anyone on a pedestal.
Lmao.
I apologize for admiring someone who did so much good.
Clearly, I’m an asshole.

I bet she'd like to slap his face.
Not me.
trump tried to kill special olympics in 1st term and failed
4 years of revenge plans have them pulling funding from virtually all programs for those who could use help
