RFK Jr getting grilled at confirmation hearing

[Leo Gura]

Bernie is one of the few people in Congress fighting for ordinary people and more affordable healthcare.

The reality is that if you are in Congress you will get some dirty money to some extent because the system is so corrupt you couldn't get there otherwise.

So it's all about relative degrees of corruption, and also about what your worldview is. The problem with RFK is that even if he was not corrupt, his worldview is still corrupt with false ideas of how medicine and science work.

A person who means well, but has false beliefs is still very dangerous. Anti-vaxxers have good intentions but their worldview is so out of touch with reality that they hurt people. Similar to Communists.

What do you guys think about that? 

It seems deceptive when Bernie says "not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry, they came from workers." + talk over RFK to try to make him go silent & then, when RFK continues to press on the issue, Bernie admits to be "the single largest accepter of pharmaceutical dollars. $1.5 million." 

I thought I liked Bernie but this seems to be a big minus point for his integrity. 

Idk much about it but Kyle, who follows all this stuff for a living, says it’s false.

Of course he has a point.

And Hitler was a vegan.

This is a great example of how misinformation works, by telling half truths.

In fact Hitler was vegetarian, not vegan.
Sounds totally unimportant

Now imagine the same little differences in political discussions...

He didn’t get dirty money, those were donations from workers in the field

A thing that i like about RFK is that allegedly worms ate a part of his brain. Yet he still might get such an important position in the government as a brain damaged guy. It’s very inspiring.
