Idiot Robert Kennedy Joins Right Wing Protests against Coronavirus Restrictions in Germany

[JI7]

Not everyone there was a Right Winger but the Anti Vaccine types and other idiots we have among left leaning people in the US were also there. These are the anti gmo , 5g conspiracy and other types.

RFK Jr is among crowds of people with none of them wearing masks.


<The protests have also gained support from Robert F Kennedy Jr. The anti-vaccination campaigner, also the son of assassinated US Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F Kennedy and nephew of assassinated US President John F Kennedy, is at the demonstrations in Berlin.

Mr Kennedy told the crowd at the Victory Column that his uncle had famously addressed Berlin in 1963 to counter totalitarianism and that "today Berlin is again the front against totalitarianism", warning of a surveillance state and the power of 5G phone networks.

Photos shared online also showed flags and slogans linked to the conspiracy theory QAnon. The wide-ranging, unfounded conspiracy theory says that US President Donald Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping paedophiles in government, business and the media, among other claims.

Participants also included families and children. Some people have said they just want the right to protest.

One demonstrator, Stefan, a 43-year-old Berlin resident, told Agence France-Presse: "I'm not an extreme right-wing sympathiser, I'm here to defend our fundamental freedoms.">

1. Man what happened to him? He used to be a cool environmentalist

Now he is a nutso anti vaxxer

[live love laugh]

3. ikr

2. Make Science Great Again

Start with psychoanalysis.

4. Bobby, Bobby, what's the matter?

We were classmates many decades ago, hooked up again for a while when he was doing Ring of Fire on Air America. I haven't spoken to him in over ten years now, and no longer have any contact with him. He would get an earful from me if I did! I wonder what sent him off on this windmill hunt?

[hlthe2b]

7. DFW, I always got the impression that friend/cohost Michael Papantonio WAS NOT an anti-vaxxer

AT all. Do you think he just chose not to argue with RFK JR? Papantonio seemed like a straight shooter, so I had a very hard time figuring how he would NOT have tried to get through to Kennedy.

Any thoughts on that?

[DFW]

8. I actually found Pap to be to Bobby's left, if anything

However, he must have had enough lawyer in him to know when to co-lead the charge, and when to back off. I think Pap had no interest whatsoever in getting involved with Bobby in disputes where rational arguments would hold no sway.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. Wow, hard to believe he's RFK's son.

The favorite Kennedy of my (much older) family back in those days. (He was assassinated before I came along.)

[DFW]

9. Bobby, Sr. and my dad were friends

I mean, like first name basis, unusual for Senators and the press in those days. I sometimes accompanied my Dad to his Senate office. Bobby had THE most beautiful female staff members, and every one of them was Mensa material. Rumors flew, of course, about affairs. I never knew if any of them were true. I used to flirt with one of the receptionists in his Senate office (her name was Brandi) whom I had a severe crush on. I was devastated when she told me she was getting married. I begged her to reconsider and wait for me to finish puberty, but her mind was made up. Lucky guy!

When Bobby was shot, all that ended, of course, and with it, an era of optimism that things could yet change for the better. My parents were devastated, as you can imagine. As 16 year olds in high school, you can imagine that our class was just walking around in a daze, wondering WTF was going on with us.

In those days, you could just walk into the Capitol or a Senate Office Building and stroll into any Senator's office. Hard to believe when you consider today's security controls everywhere you go. Even the White House was a lot looser, although you couldn't just stroll in unannounced except after waiting in line for one of the organized tours. My first meeting with a sitting president (LBJ) at the White House didn't come until 1965, but compared to now, it was still pretty loose. "Hi, my name is DFW. I must be on some list you have." The guard at the entrance said, "Yeah, you are. Come on in." It was THAT easy.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. Fascinating! Thanks for sharing those stories!

My older siblings acted like they would have taken that bullet if it could've spared RFK. They never met him, but they adored his speeches and public mannerisms around that time.

[DFW]

11. Bobby Sr. was a fascinating character

A smiling, forceful figure in public, but a shy, reserved man in private. I was astounded when I experienced the difference first hand. But he was always very nice to me, at least, and I know my dad and he were close. I still have a photo of him, dedicated to my dad in his own modest hand, saying, simply, "with high regard."

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. Introverts can be great leaders!

My siblings always thought he genuinely cared, but it's hard to know sometimes. I had the same impression after watching videos of him.

I guess my older brother shook hands with LBJ at some event, but that's it. He supposedly made a beeline for my brother and shook his hand with a big smile and praise, while my parents proudly grinned in silence about it. Lol. My brother was just a little kid, but he said LBJ's hand seemed huge.

[DFW]

13. His hand WAS huge!

At least it seemed so to me. I never chatted with him to any extent. I spent most of my time talking to his wife, Lady Bird, who was perfectly charming (and also really smart, but knew in whose shadow she was standing).

I sent you a PM about who my political mentor was.

[panader0]

15. Great stories DFW. I want more.

[DFW]

17. I never know what really is a story and what isn't.

I grew up in that world. What was routine to me, I guess, seems exotic if you weren't there.

[panader0]

22. I remember being evacuated from the base where my dad was stationed

in Sidi Slimane, Morocco when I was seven (1956). An atomic bomb had been lost over the Mediterranean
and I guess there was a mad rush by several nations to recover it. My mom picked me up from my
second grade class and we went away for a while, perhaps to Rabat, I don't remember. The Air Force life of my
dad meant a lot of traveling. Most of it was wasted on me as a child, except for the indelible memories of
how life was in other countries and cultures. I was able to visit most of Europe then, and later, when he
was stationed at Hickam AFB on Oahu, I visited most of SE Asia. Central America was on my own.
You have led an interesting life, and I want more stories.

[DFW]

23. It sounds like you could fill a book or two of your own tales! n/t

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. Wow!

[Vinca]

6. That's really sad. Hard to believe RFK's son has turned into such an idiot.

[DFW]

18. It's not that Bobby is an idiot. He's just horribly misled

And I can't, for the life of me, figure out how it happened.

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. He's been talking dangerous nonsense about vaccines for at least 15 years

It's not that he is misled; he has been misleading people for many years. I mean, if you want to see how much this is his fault, look at this:

Donald Trump appears to have abandoned plans to investigate the spurious link between childhood immunisations and autism, a move welcomed by experts but condemned by Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic.

The son of former US attorney general Bobby Kennedy met Trump in New York during the presidential transition in January last year and announced that he had been asked to chair a commission to review vaccine safety.

Scientists warned that it would give credence to debunked theories, while a Trump spokeswoman denied any decision had been made.

Then, a year ago this week, Kennedy told reporters he had met “many times” with members of Trump’s transition team, “trading documents about what the commission would look like”. But little has been heard of the plan since then.
...
Kennedy, 64, has had no contact with the White House for at least six months and made no secret of his dismay. “I’ve seen a tremendous deflation among a community of parents and children’s health advocates across the country who believed the promises that President Trump made to the campaign, who put tremendous faith in him and now are feeling enormous betrayal and disappointment.”

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/21/trump-vaccination-safety-commission-robert-kennedy-autism

He was proud to say he'd work with Trump. The Trump regime acted more rationally than he did.

[DFW]

24. To be dismayed at the outcome of putting faith in Trump for anything

That shows major delusion all by itself!

[Klaralven]

14. A Qanon supporter I know thinks Bobby Kennedy, Jr is an authority on vaccines.

[GoCubsGo]

19. Jeez. What the hell happened to him?

He used to be a sensible guy at one time.

[Music Man]

20. What a shame.

I used to love hearing his lectures in the 2000's. I really saw him as carrying on his dad's legacy. I had hoped for him to wind up in the Obama administration.

Then I heard about his anti-vaxxer nonsense. And now this really takes the cake. So far gone. I hope he has an epiphany and comes to his senses.
