“We need to stop trusting the experts,” Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality.
Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly. It’s quite a mess.
These absolutely unhinged ideas wouldn’t be such a problem if this were any other fringe lunatic appearing on the podcast of a racist former Fox News host. But Kennedy happens to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man who’s been given enormous power over America’s entire healthcare system thanks to Donald Trump.
Your mistake is looking for consistency when it’s actually just people and bots pushing false narratives. It’s not an honest discussion where participants are bound to the rules of logic; they’re just exploiting the fact that you think they’re engaging in discourse and behave accordingly.
