An even weirder presidential candidate

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my previous post on August 11, 2024 titled That weird label I briefly discussed how the Republican candidates for president and vice-president were being characterized by their Democratic opponents.

 

But there also is an even weirder independent candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Watch this YouTube video from The Daily Show on August 10, 2024 titled Michael Kosta Covers RFK Jr.’s Bizarre Bear Story & GOP Reactions to Tim Walz | The Daily Show. The weirder story from October 2014 he told Rosanne Barr would have been rejected as a script for The Simpsons. There also are two articles by Miranda Nazzaro at The Hill, one on August 4, 2024 titled RFK Jr. admits to leaving dead bear in Central Park, and another on August 5, 2024 titled RFK Jr. posed with bloody bear carcass in photograph.

 

There is another 31-minute YouTube video by John Oliver at Last Week Tonight titled RFK Jr: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO). A long time ago RFK Jr. was respected as a lawyer covering environmental concerns. But more recently he has been an antivax loon, described in a web page at the Encyclopedia of American Loons on May 22, 2011 titled Robert Kennedy Jr. . There is yet another article about him by David Gorski at Science-Based Medicine on November 6, 2023 titled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. comes home to his antivax roots … again.

 

The cartoon dead bear was adapted from one at Openclipart.
