19. He's been one of our top environmental activists for 35 yrs

Also, an environmental activist in South America spending months in a Puerto Rican jail for his activism. Cleaned up lots of America’s rivers starting with the Hudson River. He’s taken on big corporations for polluting low income neighborhoods. He’s taken on government agencies.
He wants to replace of all the top people in CIA, FDA, NIAID, etc - he claims they all have ties to big corporations. He wants to end the war in Ukraine, stop the Willow Project. He’s still an active lawyer taking on Monsanto/Bayer for glyphosate cancer victims & representing 600 people in East Palestine. If you go over to Twitter you can learn a lot about him. Most on DU dislike him but having been poisoned by Malathion in the past, I’ve been happy to see him take on the cancer victims of Roundup (glyphosate) and win awards of millions for them. Now Monsanto/Bayer is offering billions to settle cases.

He believes the CIA killed JFK and speaks about it. He says his Uncle hated the CIA and let it be known - he wanted to dissolve the CIA. He speaks about the Cuban Missile crisis and how the CIA wanted JFK to put troops in Laos & Viet Nam. He basically says his uncle was anti war and he had a constant battle with CIA and the Military Industrial Complex. He has a lot to say about the history of our country.

I love Joe and he has really accomplished a lot so far - he ended the war in Afganistan, forgave student loan debt, major infrastructure bill,etc etc - but I don’t dislike RFK Jr like many on here. I really like RFK for his taking on Monsanto/Bayer and taking on corporations polluting low income neighborhoods.
