Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.
