RFK Jr's FIELD of Red Flags: Plenty of Reasons to Dismiss His Nomination
People Are Willfully Ignoring More Than A DOZEN of Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s Red Flags, Because He Says Some Things They Like Sometimes
Let’s talk about
the one-time 2024 DEMOCRATIC PARTY presidential primary candidate. He’s now the nominee to be Trump’s HHS Secretary, amazingly enough. Politics can create a hell of a character arc.Looking at the past 2 years for Bobby, it plays out to be one fantastic story:
Kennedy ‘24
Act 1: Running as a Democrat
He announced his candidacy in April 2023 with much hope and excitement, expecting that the party would treat him fairly, at minimum. That’s not what happened at all.
Act 2: Running as an Independent
The Democrats didn’t really want to hold a primary and wanted to anoint Joe Biden (so they could later switch him out for Kamala Harris). Kennedy was so badly ignored & shunned by his party, that he left it mid-cycle to run as an independent, unaffiliated with any party (but plenty of big money donors, regardless). The Democrats even sued to keep him either OFF or, amazingly, ON, certain state presidential ballots for what they claimed were “strategic purposes.”
Act 3: Flirt With Running Party Affiliated
Some Republicans flirted with the idea of inviting him to join the party, but he was a still liberal Democrat his whole life. And a Kennedy. That was not going to happen.
The Libertarians even invited him to speak at their conference last summer, and he was even included in one early round of Presidential nominees for the Libertarian Party - but they went with Chase Oliver.
Act 4: Pull a Gimmick - Naming a VP Willing to Fund the Campaign
His independent run was running out of funds in April, when they pulled the stunt of announcing a running mate, well before either of the major parties would. Now he’s funded through November, right? Going the distance, no matter what!
Act 5: Kennedy Bows Out Early, Makes a Deal & Endorses Trump
His independent candidacy technically lasted until August 2024, when he summarily dropped out of the race to endorse Trump, who obviously promised him something (we didn’t know what at the time) in exchange for his endorsement. He didn’t drop out in every state, because there was a calculation that he could feasibly hurt the Harris campaign in certain states - so he only dropped in the states where Trump was way ahead. 5D chess at its finest!
Act 6: Trump WINS (like we all knew he would months before), nominates RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary - Bobby Salvages SOMETHING
We are watching this play out in real time, and it’s made a lot of people act irrationally already.
This is NOT the last act in the play, rest assured. I’m not even 100% sure Trump EXPECTS Kennedy to be confirmed, nor really cares if he is or isn’t (beyond for his own ego). Trump’s HHS agenda will still be enforced, regardless of who is the figurehead at the top.
Just How Many Red Flags Do You Need? 🚩🚩🚩
Below is a list of 15+ examples of RFK Jr red flags that question his honesty, his integrity, his character & his repeated pattern of selfishness & mistreatment of the people closest to him.
Most of these red flags listed below by themselves (or a combination of a few) would probably be disqualifying for most people as someone not a licensed medical professional being put as the top person in charge of the nation’s healthcare services.
BTW I am not even mentioning the word “vaccine” or any of his positions on them, because it will make his supporters wet their pants if I do, and there is more than enough disqualifying material to keep him far from any position of power - before you even start looking at those views. I am also not looking to boost liberal Democrat talking smear points about things said or not said.
1. Selling the VP slot to Bi-Corporatist Nicole Shanahan for $12.5M
Nicole is a dangerous person. She’s a former DNC Bundler, a divorcee who was married to Google’s Sergey Brin with 9-figures in the bank and an agenda - who’s bought her way onto the political scene. She outbid Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura, among others, by offering to fund the RFK Jr for President campaign from April through November. They found a clever loophole - a VP candidate can contribute UNLIMITED SUMS to their campaign. We have the receipts. She bought her way in. Nobody has ever denied it.
That is STRAIGHT CORRUPTION - it shows that Bobby can be bought - and has a price.
My concern is that she will be imposing her will on us for the next few decades, and she is developing some powerful allies on “both sides” of the Uniparty corporate aisle.
How Much for That Running Mate Seat, Bobby?
I am NOT a fan of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and have never really been one. I know he did some good work as an environmental lawyer. He’s also called out big pharma on some of their corruption, but mostly he’s a tangled web of his own ego.

2. Immigration & Southern Border chud pandering
3. Said he wouldn’t join the Trump ticket (technically, no - but is joining the Trump admin as HHS Secretary much different?)
4. Two Epstein flights, lied to Whitney Webb & said there was 1, questionable friendships with notorious alleged murderers (OJ Simpson) & drug rapists (Bill Cosby).
5. Called Mike Pompeo “brilliant” and a “man of the people” in 2024!
Remember: this was the guy (Pompeo, as CIA Director) who plotted to have Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange kidnapped & murdered on a London street. Instead, he had Assange arrested & jailed in Belmarsh Prison for 5+ years. Pompeo very famously https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x76otue - they had entire training courses on it!
6. He’s Been a Lifelong (Corporate) Democrat
We can’t forget that it was actually his plan, going into the 2024 election to run to try to be the LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Yes, that Democratic Party. The one he’s been a loyal soldier to his entire life & career. It wouldn’t even completely surprise me at this point if he sought the 2028 Democratic Party nomination. EVEN with the way the state parties and the establishment Congressional Democrats treated him in the 2024 cycle.
Endorsed Hillary 4X (2000, 2006 (NY Senate) 2008, 2016 (Dem Party Nominee)
Praised Hillary as Secretary of State
Endorsed Joe Biden for President 2020, 40 year lifelong friend of Joe Biden
Endorsed John Kerry for President 2004
Had no plan for when Democrats screwed him over, other than to leave the party & then drop out, endorsing Trump after they sued to keep him off state ballots
7. Hired “ex” CIA Daughter in Law Amaryllis Fox to Manage his Campaign after Dennis Kucinich leaves, pushed for Trump to name her CIA Deputy Director
8. Called CIA agents good, patriotic people - including Amaryllis
9. Pushed RussiaGate - “Putin is a thug and a bully”
10. Son fighting for Ukraine, only found out because he got a credit card bill
Weird Animal Stuff
11. Falconry (with Don Jr!) & Sailing contest fundraisers during the campaign? Who was this trying to appeal to?
12. Telling the Bear story to Roseanne - dumping a dead bear in Central Park
13. The whale head story - OMG!!
Kennedy Family
14. Legacy - Entire reputation due to his last name, desperate for decades to be a member of “the club”
If this list were about HHS Secretary candidate Robert Johnson, or Robert Smith, this nomination would have been withdrawn embarrassingly with 20% of the skeletons listed here. But since his last name is Kennedy, and he comes from “American royalty,” he gets more passes than Joe Montana threw to Jerry Rice.
15. Other Personal Fidelity ISSUES
“Diary” filled with sexual conquests (maybe drove his wife to suicide)
Cheryl Hines - Mary Kennedy stuff (yes, marriage is a touchy subject - but this speaks to his actual COMMITMENT to people he claims to care about.
Allegedly cheated on Cheryl multiple times, including with journalist Olivia Nuzzi (who has denied the allegation) & their marriage is now considered to be “strained”
14 years of “self-medicated” HEROIN USE, still goes to 12 Step Meetings every day? 42+ years in recovery.
16. Zionism & Rabbi Shmuley, zero accountability for Israel
“Palestine is the most pampered nation on earth when it comes to aid” - RFK Jr. - Breaking Points, December 2023.
“No evidence of Israel targeting civilians” - RFK Jr. on Russell Brand’s podcast, May 2024 h/t to
for the clipReliance on Shmuley Boteach to answer questions on his behalf - unwillingness to acknowledge the IDF murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh & have a conversation with Jewish Voices for Peace. Torah Jews were protesting outside too. (July, 2023)
Pilgrimaged to Israel in 2019, denouncing Trump at the time - weird that he would work for the person he was the reason the “The United States is no longer a democracy.”
17. The BRAIN WORM!
Since Elon Musk wants to chip peoples’ brains, we figured we should name this one Elon. h/t to
for the AI art
18. He’d still be limited in the role as HHS Secretary
Fluoride & vaccines, for example, are state issues, says Global health law expert Lawrence Gostin of Georgetown University. (That will be also used to excuse any shortcomings in the job as to why he couldn’t do “what he REALLY wanted to do”)
The mental gymnastics of RFK Jr supporters
One of the most interesting things to witness has been the mental gymnastics of the supporters of RFK Jr.
If you add ALL of these red flags up, it’s remarkable that there are still a LOT of people who seem to take him seriously & support him, though I have absolutely no idea why. Many of them seemingly also got fooled by Trump, believing this time would be different because he had the experience of the first term.
They literally have stuck with this guy through the Chameleon Candidacy, the selling out of his VP slot, the ending of the campaign 3 months early after pledging to go until November “no matter what” - then the plane ride to the UFC with the McDonald’s hostage MAHA photo, right up to his HHS Secretary nomination.

This man said I’m turning over every gosh darn stone on RFK Jr. lol We love to see it! Very well done on this one! 👏👏👏
I shared this on my stream after covering how HHS is dismantling LIHEAP (Low Income Housing Energy Assistance Program) which would result in harming millions of poor/working poor Americans. RFK Jr. isn't about making America healthy... He's just trying to get a lucrative ROI for Nicole Shanahan.
