How is he possibly a viable nominee? What the fuck?

Reposted from Aaron Rupar

ALSOBROOKS: You said 'we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that is given to whites.' Can you please explain what you meant?

RFK Jr: There's a series of studies ...

ALSOBROOKS: What different schedule would you say I should've recevied?

He isn’t. but Republicans don’t care

soundphile.bsky.social•52 days ago

Trump could’ve nominated a syphilitic donkey and the frightened GOP would confirm it.

samamc.bsky.social•53 days ago

He makes my skin crawl.

wilsontom.bsky.social•53 days ago

That’s some ol Tuskegee experiment no pain killers for women type talk.

rodratcliffe.bsky.social•53 days ago

Wreck all the institutions and then comes the proposal that he, and only he, can fix it if given complete authority without legislative or judicial interference. This is the 2025 right-wing goal.

emjayay.bsky.social•53 days ago

In the future customizing vaccinations and other drugs and treatments to the individual might be common, but that would take some expensive blood testing much of which probably doesn't exist now, or the knowledge of what to do based on that.

emjayay.bsky.social•53 days ago

If there is anything to that how would it work? Is Barack Obama black or white? The head of Black Studies at Harvard found out he was almost half white. Non-immigrant black people in the US usually have some European DNA.

He has said so many crazy things over the years -- including that the CIA controls the media -- that anything he said in the hearings to "redeem" himself is nothing more than a lie. The Senate should have learned after Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. Vote no because of candidate's previous statements.

The racism is deadly. The ignorance is deadly. My skin is not thicker. I do not have a higher pain tolerance.

I had a PA in Vermont refuse to give me a skin cancer check. He looked at my melanin, pushed aside my concerns, and refused to conduct an examination. Racism is deadly.

How is trump even the president. WTF?

Imagine that RFK wanted to do voice over work in Television and complained he didn’t get hired because of his Spasmodic Dysphonia, he’d scream bloody murder

itseasybeinggreen.bsky.social•53 days ago

Also to the degree that there are relevant medical differences in different racial/ethnic groups, Trump's government is going to ban people from studying it!

splatterthought.bsky.social•53 days ago

Underrated observation.

Are you new to how the USA operates?

RFK Jr's brainworm is embarrassed.

Just imagine the depth of shame in the Kennedy family

crackermack.bsky.social•53 days ago

The Republican Party gets off on fucking America over.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing. So long as they get wealth they will screw every last one of us.

tom4okstate.bsky.social•53 days ago

Because Republicans don't see any value whatsoever in government functioning. Often even when they have previously benefited from it.

I just know the word antigen. Yes, antigen. I’ll say it again antigen. I don’t even know what it is. But blacks have more of them.

"Can you please quote the dates, sources, and types of "studies" you find most convincing as well as any meta-analysis studies done by reputable researchers confirming your statements?

No?

Ok, thought so."

kathleenn.bsky.social•53 days ago

I am so outraged. He has the mentality of Josef Mengele .

gracemoves.bsky.social•53 days ago

Is he quoting Michael Pollan?

lajahi.bsky.social•53 days ago

👏 bravo

coffinprick.bsky.social•53 days ago

Finally…someone actually uses the word “Dangerous”. Because that is exactly what he is.

demomom.bsky.social•53 days ago

He effing doubles down on his racist crap in his answers - it’s enough to make me throw things at my tv

kikosam18.bsky.social•53 days ago

“That’s science,” says the NOT a doctor, scientist, or epidemiologist, ex-heroin addict who lived with a brain worm for a decent time, nominee for HHS!

ryanhide.bsky.social•53 days ago

Cheryl Hines’s soulless vacant face the entire time he’s talking makes it so much worse.

bestillandknow.bsky.social•53 days ago

Same. I'm wondering what she's thinking.

cfos39.bsky.social•53 days ago

Not that it proves anything, but when i talk about black ppl as a group, i say “black ppl”, not “blacks”……

pcunited.bsky.social•53 days ago

Right.?

k-e-v-i-n-d.bsky.social•53 days ago

For MAGA, the racism is a feature, not a bug.

kokomojoe.bsky.social•53 days ago

My god. "Give blacks fewer vaccines" to only slightly paraphrase - openly racist to the level of frothing insanity.

happyclappyyay.bsky.social•53 days ago

He talks like a moron.

catmomdo.bsky.social•53 days ago

Sadly our thoughts on it don't matter🤬

easternblueblonde.bsky.social•53 days ago

I know an orange guy who’s probably resistant to all vaccinations.

heyheydown1.bsky.social•53 days ago

And he’s a sex addict. There are not enough paper bags or emesis basins in this world…

Elect an incompetent clown, get a cabinet full of incompetent clowns

grungehamster.bsky.social•53 days ago

I mean, there was a very important study on the disparate effects of disease by ethnicity that is well respected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study

grungehamster.bsky.social•53 days ago

(By which I mean it is infamous, the idea that syphilis doesn't effect black people as severely because they usually died before they ever reached the late stages of the disease before, and it turned out they didn't collect any good data because they didn't keep decent records to even know status.)

rumpolesghost.bsky.social•53 days ago

Mengele.

theotherbum.bsky.social•53 days ago

There's always a study - not identified, almost certainly way out of the mainstream that these guys can cite. Don't let them play that game - make them name it and have staff fact check it immediately. No vote until the information is obtained. Start playing hardball with these criminals.

sparklepigeon.bsky.social•53 days ago

I would like to have seen drug and alcohol tests on each one of the nominees with publicized results. They are all in safety- or security-sensitive positions and should be subjected to random drug and alcohol screening while in office.

majoad.bsky.social•53 days ago

It is unbelievable, incredible, astounding and jaw dropping.

wattle.bsky.social•53 days ago

Wait until you find out who we elected to be president

nomoretyranny.bsky.social•53 days ago

Idiocracy!

brijuater.bsky.social•53 days ago

Because America wants Reality TV, not reality.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•53 days ago

He looks and sounds so fucking awful that I can't believe Trump of all people is letting this guy go on TV

ryanwalker78.bsky.social•53 days ago

how long before Trump physically mocks his disability?

coffinprick.bsky.social•53 days ago

He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care what happens. The more breaking down of the system, the better. Appointing highly under qualified and incompetent people is what he WANTS. He’s not hiring “The best”, he’s hiring the best to destroy the system to his advantage.

vaelis.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s also meant as a big fuck you to every minority in the country, every step of the way blaring to us that their worst, dumbest, most criminal rapist is more qualified to be in literally any position in the country than people with actual merit but wrong skin color/religion/genitals/sexuality.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•53 days ago

Sure, he wants incompetent toadies. I'm just surprised that he picked such an awfully non-telegenic incompetent toady when most of his other incompetent toadies are very media savvy.

coffinprick.bsky.social•53 days ago

My thought on that in regards to Kennedy is that he wants the Kennedy name in the mix.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yeah, that's probably the best way to understand it, I agree.

coffinprick.bsky.social•53 days ago

I mean, this is all so insane…Who can really say? Also a part of the game plan…But that would be my best guess here.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•53 days ago

Pete Hegseth is a wholly unqualified and incompetent toady, but he's a toady who looks good on TV.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•53 days ago

& we know that Trump has always valued how people look on TV!

captain-armetis747.bsky.social•53 days ago

The chaos that’s ensued with these absolutely diabolical appointments & how many of us r even thinking of Ukraine 🇺🇦….. that was the plan✍🏽
Russians knew they couldn’t win 🇺🇦 but by placing their ‘village idiot’ in the WH,they have gained ground🤔
In 10 days 🇺🇸 is on it’s knees, we got 4 years🤬

When he's asked about autism risks he said he's unaware of the lit but needs to review, but he's ready to go in depth on random literature about this bullshit.
