RFK Jr. attacked a CNN news anchor because she’s ‘not a scientist’ and her perfect four word comeback left him speechless
RFK Jr. went on CNN this weekend and the appearance went exactly as expected (derogatory).
The Secretary of Health and Human Services came to spread his theories on the general well-being of the American public. Since it’s not exactly going great right now, he seemed a little tense.
Maybe that explains why he was shouting at CNN host Dana Bash for almost the entirety of his appearance.

But here’s the perfect exchange that encapsulates the entire RFK Jr. experience. It’s all there — condescension, ignorance, white male rage, schadenfreude.
RFK Jr. tries to attack Bash by explaining to her that she is not a scientist. Then she unleashes this perfect response.
RFK Jr: Dana, you probably don’t understand this because you’re not a scientist
BASH: Well you’re not either!

There is a reason this fucking whack jobs entire family publicly implored Trump not to appoint him to this position.
He is out of his motherfucking mind. And people are dying as a direct result of his madness.

To be fair RFK Jr. probably got the rabid behavior from the animals he picked up off the road.

This is why anyone who voted for Trump should never be forgiven. Republicans engaging in compulsive lying have a severe psychosis. It’s like a cancer.

RFK Jr. is a brain-damaged psychopath committed to destroying the healthcare system. He has lived off the anti-vaccine cult for decades. He thinks kids should get measles; he wrote a whole book about it.
His underlying ideology is social darwinism—let the weak die. He is insane. https://t.co/x66HzFTUX5

During one of his congressional hearings to defend a point he actually said “I read parts of books.”
He’s the definition of a hack. He has no medical or scientific training yet he thinks he knows more than anyone. https://t.co/g1Jz8i6715

.@SecKennedy Well, Secretary Kennedy, Neither of you needs a science degree to read a CDC report.
Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000, the virus hasn’t mutated, it’s the exact same shot that’s worked for decades.
More than 90 percent of this year’s confirmed cases… https://t.co/4txOtiE3QY
