Kamala Harris had a terse reply to Trump's plan: "No."
Donald Trump said Thursday that vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be in charge of “women’s health” if the former president is reelected to the White House.
…
The comments reflect Kennedy’s growing role in a potential administration and his rising standing in the Trump orbit after he dropped his independent bid for the presidency and endorsed his onetime competitor. But calls for a senior position have troubled health advocates, who point to Kennedy’s long history as a skeptic of widely accepted science surrounding vaccines. Those concerns grew this week after the co-chair of the team planning Trump’s potential transition said Kennedy had persuaded him in a 2.5-hour meeting that vaccines caused autism, a widely debunked stance.
The Harris campaign was quick to share footage of Trump’s plans for Kennedy on Thursday, and Harris herself tweeted a short response to her opponent’s pledge: “No.”
Try to stay with me here because I have this crazy idea. It’s out there. So far out there I’m pretty sure it’s never been done. How about we have a woman with medical training in charge of women’s health?
Ngl it’s kind of a hilarious and baffling self-own with regards to the women’s vote. Like, genuinely, how is this in any way supposed to convince more women to vote for him? An antivax nut job with a literal worm in his brain…? Like… wut.
I figure they need Trump to also do a bunch of crimes when he's in office before they pull the plug on him... That way he can blamed whilst they keep all the power.
The man with literal worm-on-the-brain is going to be in charge of women's bodies. I mean, of course! This timeline is really turning out to be worse than any "alternate universe" episodes of most sci-fi shows.
How is it not a conspiracy that he's trying to lose this election. And how are his dumb ass supporters, who are often so high on conspiracy theory, oblivious to this notion? And why the fuck is the media making it out to be hyper competitive with both sides bringing equal amounts of crazy and reason to the table
Also as a non-American, I don't get how this is even a close election? To me it seems like the options are Competent Politician Who You May Not Agree With On Everything vs. Actual Cabal Of Demented Fascists, and it seems like it could genuinely go either way.
Actually, it makes perfect sense. Being a Kennedy is traumatic. Behind the Bastards did a set of episodes on him, and between the deaths and other weird things (including giving them too much power and bad parenting in general) I'm not surprised at all how he turned out.
Wiki: reliable - A 2020 RfC found HuffPost staff writers fairly reliable for factual reporting on non-political topics, but notes that they may give prominence to topics that support their political bias and less prominence to, or omit, things that contradict it.
