No way he does the sit down with China until after he’s finished with his weekly appearance on Pat McAfee’s radio show.

Interesting tactic from RFK Jr. It’s a bold strategy, in 2024, to try and build an entire presidential campaign on being anti-COVID vaxx.

I just find it funny that he could differentiate himself by acting not crazy and not quite being 80 yet. Instead, he's going all in on conspiracy theory.

I'm torn on whether he's clueless about the alternative interpretation of "member-on-member action" and no one had the heart to tell him, or if he's trying to shore up his spousal relationship by looking like an idiot when it comes to innuendo.
