Fox and Friends Slobber Over RFK Jr and Mock Democrats for Repudiating Him as a Republican Rat

Posted by on July 20, 2023 at 1:28 pm. 6 Comments :

The legacy of the Kennedy family in America is renowned for producing leaders of great character and compassion. President John Kennedy and his brothers, Robert and Ted, who served in the Senate, stood for equality and fairness across lines of race and class. They were heralds of Democratic values.

Unfortunately, every family tree has its bad apples. And in the Kennedy clan that role has come to be filled by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. For much of his political life he has been consumed by crackpot conspiracy theories and distasteful associations with ultra right-wingers who are anathema to Democratic principles. He has become the Republican Party’s favorite anti-Democratic stooge and, more recently, a planted challenger to President Biden for the Democratic nomination for president.

Republicans have adopted RFK Jr as one of their own. They use him as a tool to bash Biden, while falsely claiming that his criticisms are evidence of disarray in the Democratic Party. And naturally, Fox News is leading the parade of wingnuttery that is embracing and exploiting him. On Thursday morning’s episode of Fox and Friends, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes demonstrated their adoration of RFK Jr in a segment that was supposed to be about his appearance at hearing held by the Republican-led House Committee on the Weaponization of Government.

The hearing was a typically partisan mess wherein Republicans filibustered with ridiculous attacks on Biden- and even his son Hunter – that had nothing whatsoever to do with the hearing’s purported agenda. It produced no evidence of any alleged wrongdoing. To the contrary, Democrats succeeded in exposing the GOP charlatans for staging yet another political sideshow.

This is where Fox and Friends comes in to try to salvage the farce that chairman Jim Jordan tried to put over on the nation. Although they had very little to work with. So what they ended up presenting was the following slimy suck up…

Brian Kilmeade: The problem with RFK Jr, he does his homework, is extremely bright. You better bring your ‘A’ game. And also, can you believe we are at a day when the Democrats would be calling a Kennedy disparaging names? What country are we in?

As usual, Kilmeade didn’t offer a single example of anything that RFK Jr said that supported his claim that he is “extremely bright.” But in Kilmeade’s defense, there aren’t any examples. Also, the fact that Democrats are willing to criticize members of a revered Democratic family only proves that they are not the sort of cult followers that the Republican devotees of Donald Trump are. If a Democrat does or says something stupid – or steals and lies about classified documents, or sexually assaults women in department stores, or tries to overthrow the government, or is impeached and indicted multiple times – they won’t continue to worship him as their messiah.

Fox Friend Steve Doocy briefly interjected something sensible, noting that “There are Kennedy family members who disagree with him as well.” Which is true. His sister Kerry Kennedy recently said that “His statements do not represent what I believe or what Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights stand for.” And his nephew, Joe Kennedy III said that “My uncle’s comments were hurtful and wrong. I unequivocally condemn what he said.”

Doocy’s colleagues ignored those remarks, then replied with mockery that Democrats correctly describe RFK Jr as “such a Republican.” Whereupon Kilmeade makes sure to note that, despite all the evidence, “He’s not a Republican. Oh my goodness.”

For the record, RFK Jr identifies himself as Democrat. However, virtually all of his supporters reside on the farthest fringes of right-wing Republicanism. They are people like Steve Bannon, who convinced him to enter the Democratic primary. And he proudly poses for pictures with the likes of Russian asset Mike Flynn, and GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone.

That’s who RFK Jr is. You know him by the company he keeps. And Fox News is brazenly participating in the charade that he is bona fide Democrat. Because they desperately need critics who they can claim are not partisan. And because they haven’t got any legitimate complaints about Biden other than pointless and pathetic smears that don’t make any sense. In fact, some of their attacks actually make Biden look so good that he’s now using them in his own campaign ads…

  1. Typical. The only way the Traitors will support a “Democrat” and a “Kennedy” are those unworthy of either name. Interestingly, they think we give a damn how we are “repudiating” RFK.

    Newsflash, Traitors: the family repudiates him too.

    Also think of this: the Traitors always call any of their own whom they can’t pretend aren’t criminals a “Democrat.” I await the day when Their God is FINALLY sentenced for his crimes, the Traitors run out of lies, and the Traitors have to pretend they never heard of this “Democrat” criminal and of course NEVER supported him, nor did anyone vote for him. You KNOW it’s going to happen. It’s already starting….

    • Kali, that was a great comment, and well stated. I have nothing to add to it. The only thing i have to say is, i knew when i first heard he was going to try to muck things up that RFK jr, is a sneaky, dirty, rotten Fascist Rethuglican hack. i wouldn’t vote for this sneaky piece of crap for dog catcher. He doesn’t even deserve the ”Kennedy” name. RFT would be more appropriate for him… Robert F TUMP or RFS, Robert F DeSatan.

  2. Wouldn’t an anti-vaxer who wants to withdraw aid from Ukraine appeal to Republicans more than Democrats?

    • You are so right on about that. That slimy bastard is a KINO, a Kennedy in name only. That SOB doesn’t even look like a Kennedy, i wonder out loud if he was adopted, or his mother may have slept around on RFK with another man??? He is a Fascist Rethug hack. There is nothing about him that is Democratic.

  3. Pres. Biden has The Lincoln Project to thank for his new campaign ads material & TLP has many such informative clips put together! TLP is fighting the “good fight” that Dems leadership really ought to be fighting themselves, but haven’t been!
    We have 1 Party that lies, cheats, steals & violates our laws, HATES Americans having freedom to choose how our lives should be(!) & HATES the right of ALL citizens to VOTE for, or against, candidates of their choice… & to have their votes be respected & counted ~ each & every one!! Maybe Biden & other Dems in 2024 election should try to hire TLP, at least check out what they’ve been doin’ while ya’ll been not doin’!?! Maybe you can rent some of the great footage they put together? They did all the hard work already & deserve to be paid for it. Ask nicely & maybe you can pay them to let you use it?!!

    • Wow, that was an awesome comment, Sunny B. I honestly think if we ALL rise up and demand action from our Democrats, we can and will defeat Fascism forever!! These Fascist Rethuglicans are horrible people that are out to destroy the United States. If you ever get an email from a site called, Proud Patriots,” delete it immediately. I got an email tonight from that site and when i clicked the, ”Unsubscribe” link on the email, i got a warning from my virus protection saying, ” We have blocked multiple viruses from this site, i clicked on the ”Unsubscribe ” link a second time, the same warning came up again. A while back, i got a similar email that was a Rethug site, i wrote a reply to them and i used some very harsh curse words about my opinions about Fascist Rethugs and Donald TUMP. I certainly would not use that kind of language on here. I let the curse words flow out of me when i replied to those scumbags and told them exactly how i felt about TUMP and what i would like to happen to him. I think these Fascist Rethugs were exacting or attempting revenge against me. They don’t scare me though, and they had better not come to my house to start something. I will defend myself. They are out to destroy America, and we better not let them..
