Howard Lutnick told CNN that he believed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who could have a position in a possible Trump administration, was right about debunked vaccine claims.

They’re literally running on Bring Back Measles

    Trump almost died from Covid.

    Hates Covid vaccine

    Trump almost shot twice.

    Still hates gun control.

      I’m wagering this is just pandering, not that he’s actually a vaccine skeptic.

      Think something like Cucker Tarlson who (while talking up how dangerous the covid vaccine was (just asking questions and such)) almost definitely got one.

        They count on you using your energy to do that math for them - why do you need to? Just don’t.

        Why not just believe him. He’s a fucking idiot, who (at best) doesn’t have a firm, established position on a key, fundamental part of human life into his 60s. That’s not a serious person, it’s an ignorant person at best, someone who will shift on major positions in exchange for power at worst - either way he shouldn’t be within the proximity of power.

        It doesn’t matter if it’s pandering or they know it’s a lie if they then turn the lie into policy. The rest of us take the risk of death from it just the same

      He does not hate gun control. He talks like he does, but is more of a gun grabber than Obama was.

      Liking guns comes second to hypocrisy in modern conservative ideology.

        The Texas State Fair wanted to have a gun free event. Politicians instantly attacked that unAmerican behavior.

        Same pols had no problem with their events being gun free.

    Wouldn’t it be swell if this was the timeline where super-sentient brain parasites took over RFK and he then infected the entire Trump Campaign who in turn infected the Republican and Democrat Parties ultimately leading to the earth being run by mid-level brain parasite bureaucrats who just keep going like nothing has changed running for reelection in their host body until eventually it reaches retirement age moves to Florida?

    24 hours from this headline:

    “I do not know this man. He was invited to speak by a low ranking individual. He does not reflect the beliefs of this campaign or Former President Trump.”

      It usually takes eating an infected animal. They might have shared roadkill, but I don’t think that Howard Lutnick ate part of RFK Jr.
