Please Don't Waste Your Vote on RFK Jr.

I thought this New York Post headline about the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dinner was one of the best ever written in terms of the guaranteed publicity: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. press dinner explodes in war of words and farting. You have to read the whole thing to believe it. Somehow, I can't imagine such a headline ever being written about his father, RFK; or about his uncle, JFK.

As New York magazine describes it, "On Wednesday night, the New York Post’s 'Page Six' published a piece that already seems destined to join this pantheon. The subject matter is inherently hilarious: Two men got into an argument about climate change at a press dinner promoting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential candidacy, and one farted loudly. But it’s Mara Siegler’s writing and some strong visual choices by the Post team that make it transcendent. While I urge you to read the full story, as its majesty can’t really be summarized, here are some particularly delightful elements."

I read the New York Post every day, so I somehow wasn't at all surprised to see this RFK,Jr. headline today: RFK Jr. says COVID was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews.  And he said this at the same dinner.

"'COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately,'  Kennedy said. 'COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.'"

Bobby must be rolling in his grave.And Trump should be glad he didn't attend this dinner, because the press would have somehow pinned all all of it on him.
