A day after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. agreed to a public discussion with Max Blumenthal on Israel-Palestine, his campaign walked back his words. RFK Jr. has pledged “unconditional support” to Israel while spouting vitriolic anti-Palestinian rhetoric. One day after Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. agreed to comedian and podcaster Jimmy Dore’s proposal that he engage with The Grayzone’s editor-in-chief, Max Blumenthal, in a public dialogue on Israel-Palestine, Kennedy’s campaign nixed the discussion. During an August 1 phone call […]

Dore responded, “Ok, here’s what I would ask: just like Peter Hotez ducked you and Joe Rogan, I would love — because Max is the guy to talk to about this, not me. Would you do an interview with Max? Because he would be able to talk to you about this way better than I can.”

“Yeah, I would love to talk to Max,” Kennedy said in a seemingly sincere tone.

Within 24 hours, however, his communications director was frantically explaining why no such conversation could take place.

Typical Americans.

      Banking on name alone to get him where he needs to be.

      Amerika loves political dynasties, but I don’t think they love em that much so as to elect a guy who doesn’t say shit about his actual plans and beliefs.

      Though sleepy Joe got elected pretty much entirely on the basis that he ain’t Trump, so who knows.
