Tucker uncovers why RFK Jr. is even MORE hated than Trump in latest fire Twitter episode

June 23, 2023 | | Print Article

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson’s latest explosive episode on Twitter discussing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lays out in detail how the Left and the media hate and fear the Democratic presidential candidate even more than former President Trump.

“There’s never been a candidate for president the media hated more than Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. You thought that title belonged to Donald Trump, of course, it must. But go check the coverage: Trump got a gentle scalp massage by comparison when he announced. When Trump rolled out his presidential campaign in 2015, The New York Times waited until the 17th paragraph of the story to attack him. But as well-known as he is, the paper said at the time, Trump is also widely disliked. Then they cited a poll to back it up. That was the attack on Trump,” Carlson recounted as he kicked off his comments.

“Eight years later, the Times attacked Bobby Kennedy in the very first sentence of the story. Quote: ‘Robert F Kennedy Jr.’ the paper declared, ‘announced a presidential campaign on Wednesday built on relitigating COVID-19 shutdowns and shaking Americans’ faith in science,’” he continued.

Carlson went on to explain that because RFK Jr. stands against the status quo pushed by leftists, he is a threat to them. One that cannot be tolerated.

“Shaking Americans faith in science – imagine if you’re an ordinary New York Times subscriber reading that over coffee in your pre-war rent-controlled duplex on Columbus Avenue. You’d think Bobby Kennedy just declared war on the Enlightenment: ‘My fellow Americans I have come to shake your faith in science. Join me as I drag our nation back to the medieval period,'” Carlson snarked.

“You’d be appalled. CBS News viewers likely were appalled in its coverage of Kennedy’s announcement. CBS denounced the candidate’s views as ‘misleading and dangerous.’ The LA Times called him ‘a threat to democracy,'” he noted.

The media lined up to smear Kennedy, not to discuss his views and let them speak for themselves.

“At the offices of national public radio in Washington, a full-blown category 5 hysteria typhoon broke out. NPR devoted an entire segment to savaging Kennedy not just as a candidate but as a human being. NPR described him as someone who – for his own perverse reasons – has made ‘debunked and false’ and misleading claims that undermine trust in vaccines and who in his spare time provides moral support to crazed extremists who rally under the banner of what they call liberty or freedom,” Carlson pointed out.

“People magazine didn’t even bother to report a single word of anything Kennedy said at his announcement and instead wrote an entire story about how his relatives hate him. Kennedy’s younger sister Carrie, the magazine reported solemnly, does not approve of Bobby Jr.’s harmful views… his harmful views,” he emphasized.

Carlson went on to discuss continuous attacks against Kennedy as he took a stance against vaccines and intimated they are tied to the rise in autism among children. The pharma industry descended on him for it, according to Carlson.

Because of Kennedy’s opinion on vaccines, especially when it comes to COVID, he was labeled a lunatic and a Nazi. Instagram shut down his account and YouTube is censoring him.

Carlson addressed RFK Jr.’s appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” where he said, “Why do five of my seven kids have allergies? Of course, we know why: aluminum adjuvants give you allergies. They’re designed to create a hyper-immune response to foreign particles. And the last category is the Allergic Diseases – peanut allergies, food allergies, eczema which I never knew anybody with eczema when I was a kid. I knew people with asthma but it wasn’t one in every four black kids like it is today. We went from six percent of Americans having chronic diseases. By 1986 we’re starting to add the vaccines and 11.8% of kids now. so it’s doubled.”

“‘Why do five of my seven children have allergies?’ Now we don’t know the answer of course, but it’s an interesting question. In fact, it’s an important question that deserves an adult answer, not that you should hold your breath waiting to get one,” the former Fox News host stated.

“Bobby Kennedy asks a lot of questions like that; he notices things. Kennedy pays attention to the world around him and he wonders why it’s changing. He’s an outdoorsman, a falconer, and a fly fisherman. He’s interested in how nature works. He’s curious,” Carlson remarked.

“Not so long ago these qualities were considered essential to the practice of science. All scientific discovery comes from observation: empiricism, patient watching. Without the willingness to put aside your pre-assumptions and assess with honesty the things you see and touch and smell, the changes taking place right in front of your face, you can’t do science. You can’t create art either, or journalism, or theology. You have to be willing to notice the obvious and when they tell you you’re not allowed to notice the obvious you should be concerned,” he commented.

Carlson then provided a relevant analogy of the current state of affairs in America:

Imagine you’re on a commercial airline flight, the plane is just leveled out at 37,000 feet. You’re closing your eyes for a nap. And suddenly you smell smoke and it’s not your imagination you can see it, it’s starting to fill the cabin – all around you people are hacking and choking. The guy in the next seat has a napkin pressed against his mouth and he’s mumbling what sounds like Psalm 23: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” So clearly the airplane is on fire but almost unbelievably no one has said a word about it – not a single person is acknowledging this is happening. Everyone is silent. So in panic you yell for the flight attendant. “There’s smoke in the cabin!” you say as if she hasn’t noticed, but she stares at you with hard eyes. “Shut up racist!” she replies. “That’s a dangerous Russian conspiracy theory. Stop spreading misinformation or I’ll call TSA and have you arrested when we land.”

 

“That sounds like a fever dream, but it’s also pretty close to the experience of living in the United States at the moment. All around you things seem to be fraying and getting worse. Your gut tells you there’s something very bad going on and all the evidence suggests that there is. But the people in charge won’t acknowledge that. ‘Everything’s fine!’ they scream, ‘Stop noticing!'” Carlson charged.

“But wait: I don’t remember this many kids having allergies or asthma or eczema or autism or for that matter body dysmorphia. And why so many suicides? What’s going on here? ‘Shut up, stop asking questions!’ that’s their answer,” he stated.

Carlson commented that is exactly why they hate Kennedy. He won’t stop asking questions.

He then tore into vaccine scientist Peter Hotez who recently refused to debate Kennedy on the jab.

“Hotez is a pediatrician from Texas who became moderately famous on MSNBC during the COVID lockdowns as a Biden shill and a vaccine promoter,” Carlson noted and then brought up Rogan offering Hotez $100,000 to debate Kennedy on the subject.

“But Hotez wouldn’t bite so Rogan offered to give a hundred grand to Hotez’s favorite charity if he agreed to come on. Soon others made their own pledges and the pot swelled to over a million dollars. But still, Peter Hotez wouldn’t come. Instead, he scampered back to MSNBC where one of the channel’s oilier hosts assured him he was doing the right thing by dodging the debate. ‘Arguing with Bobby Kennedy is morally equivalent to debating a holocaust denier,’ the host said. ‘No decent person would do that.’ And of course, Hotez agreed: ‘200 000 Americans needlessly perished because they believed the anti-vaccine disinformation and refused to get a COVID shot,'” the conservative pundit railed.

“So really, talking to Bobby Kennedy would be a lot like abetting murder, and Peter Hotez, MD, Ph.D., was not going to do that. But wait a second, you ask yourself – let’s think about those numbers. 200 000 people died because of vaccine disinformation from Bobby Kennedy and people like him. How do we know that? Is that really science? No, it’s not science, because we don’t know that, we can’t know that – there is no way to know that,” Carlson said.

He then played a clip of Hotez calling for vaccine mandates and slamming anyone who stood against them.

“It’s all about mass compliance – we must have vaccine mandates for children. Take the vax or you will die. Anyone who disagrees with me is a white nationalist and a killer and probably an agent of Putin. Did we say probably? Let’s revise that: certainly an agent of Putin,” Carlson sneered.

“So according to British and US intelligence, anyone who disagrees with Dr. Peter Hotez is a disloyal American working to destabilize our democracy on behalf of Vladimir Putin. Now by comparison, never in his life has Bobby Kennedy Jr. said anything half that demented. But keep in mind, Peter Hotez claims to have a valid medical license, he is allowed to treat patients,” he pointed out.

Carlson then shared how Hotez called for the Biden Administration to arrest anyone who questioned the COVID vaccine.

He went on to reference a poll that shows Kennedy’s popularity is skyrocketing.

“A new Economist poll shows that Kennedy is more popular and far less hated than either major party front-runner. After almost 20 years of being silenced, Bobby Kennedy Jr. is being heard, and why wouldn’t he be? Kennedy’s theories about vaccines may be right, may be partially right, they could be even utterly wrong – no one’s proved it either way,” Carlson stated. “But what we can say with certainty is that America’s medical establishment has beclowned itself for all time.”

“Its official positions on vaccines, psychiatric drugs, puberty blockers, reassignment surgeries, a long list of other politically factual priorities – have no connection whatsoever to legitimate science. It’s all effectively witchcraft,” he asserted.

Carlson concluded by reiterating that the Left and the media have lost all respect among Americans for good reason.

“The gatekeepers are transparently ridiculous. Everyone can see that. People have started to notice,” he declared.
