    When a politician or other mouthpiece starts repeating Russian propaganda, I usually wonder whether they actually got paid for it or if they’re just one of the idiots who believed the lies of someone else who did get paid.

    I don’t have to wonder with RFK Jr. He’s so stupid Russia would never need to waste money on him. You could send him a YouTube video claiming the sky is actually made of dirt and he would repeat it.

    The article is upset that RFK Jr. repeated a quote of Putin saying he wanted to “De-nazify” Ukraine? I’m no Russian sympathizer but you can very much easily find photos of Ukrainian Nazis online. It’s not that hard.

      It’s easier to find American nazi’s. Should we let Russia “de-nazify” the U.S. too?

      Conservatism is a plague of deception, oppression and death. There is a cure for this disease, but the description of it is not within terms of service.

        “What about American Nazi’s?” Are you implying another 4 years of Biden would help, or hurt that question? I don’t believe RFK is an alt-right sympathizer???

          I was making a blues brothers joke.

          but ok, fine, point is I’m not convinced by the argument. Someone else made the point better but since there are photos of Illinois nazi’s should we give vlad a ring too?

      Oh, well that settles it. It exists on the Internet, it must be true!

      How grateful we should be for such obvious wisdom!

        I’m pretty sure a nazi would be arrested in Germany for holding out their arm. It just so happens they aren’t in Germany, they are in Ukraine.

        The influencer wasn’t a nazi so trying to draw similarities there is pointless. I’d also be arrested for trying to grope the Lincoln Memorial.

      Because of his last name. He will steal votes from older democrats who will just see Kennedy. My grandfather is someone who might be fooled by it. He wouldnt vote republican but he doesnt keep up with politics.
