5G in Covid vaccines, theories about Jews, rape allegations: who is Robert Jr, the Kennedy scion that Trump chose to lead Health – Il Fatto Quotidiano

The symptoms were not so good. “It’s one of the the most insane liberals who has ever run for office,” he added Donald Trump on May 25 at the Libertarian Party convention in Washington. A few days earlier he had described the tycoon as “a sociopath siding with the inhuman“. But you know, it’s one thing to campaign and another thing to put the government together. At that time Robert F. Kennedy Jrchampion of anti-vax people and a convinced conspiracy theorist, he ran as an independent for the White House trying to outdo the right-wing Republicans on health issues starting from Covid. Ora The Donald he wants to be the secretary of the Department of Health.

“I declare independence from the big ones physicalYes Wall Streetgive cynical elitesby the mercenary media and by the two political parties and the corrupt interests that dominate them”, he attacked at the end of 2023 the scion of the most important and influential. economic and political family America at an event in Philadelphia. A prominent environmental lawyer, Robert Jr. became nationally known during the pandemic, when he sued Anthony Faucithen leading the White House health task force, of conspiring with the tech mogul Bill Gates and pharmaceutical companies for sell vaccines against Covid-19, he had said that Management officials are business puppets and should be removedhas promoted baseless theories – the5G inoculationamong others – and he had said, at an anti-vax rally, that it had been easier Anne Francis flee from the Nazis than from the Americans desertion of duty of vaccination. “Even in the Hitler in Germany you could cross the Alps and reach Switzerland. Today, however, the apparatus they set up does not allow any of us to escape,” he shouted to the crowd. An anti-Semitic slur that the 69-year-old then made a -again in a video in which he declared that Covid-19 was “designed to attack white and black people rather than Ashkenazi Jews and the Chinese”.

In January he defended his family’s role in allowing government surveillance of him Martin Luther King Jr.a program that Americans think is disgusting. In an interview with politics explained that his father and uncle (Robert Kennedy he was Minister of Justice in his brother’s administration, John F. Kennedy) well to prevent the championing of the African American people amid the political tensions of a century civil rights. “There were good reasons for doing it at that time – he stressed – because J. Edgar Hoover (at the FBI’s deadline, dr) wanted to destroy King and the civil rights movement and said that the leader, Mlk. My father gave Hoover permission to wire them so he could prove whether his suspicions about King were right or wrong.” “I think, politically, they had to do it,” he said.

However, his family did not support him in his bid for the White House and in April the Camelot clan gave him their official support. Joe Biden. So, when the money ran out, Robert Jr. realized it was time to switch sides. On August 20 in an interview with Cnn Trump said he was “certainly open” to offering him a place in government if Kennedy’s heir supported him and three days later he announced: “I will give my support to Donald Trump”. “Bobby and I – the tycoon who sealed the deal – will fight together to defeat himestablishment of politico corrotto“. “I am frustrated and disappointed from the image of my brother’s body trapped in an adolescent imagination of Donald Trump – he said Kerry Kennedyseventh of Bob’s eleven children and grandson of Jfk – . If father, the real Robert KennedyIf he were alive today, he would hate everything Trump stands for.”

Instead of two people who like each other, to the extent that in the last rally in Macon, Georgia, before the vote Trump announced: “He will take care of the women’s health“. A sensitive topic for the scion, charged with Vanity Fair about sexually assaulting a child in the late 1990s Eliza Coonet, a young graduate was hired as his babysitter and assistant, remembered his many outside affairs and his fierce protection of a cousin, Michael Skakelwho was found guilty of killing a 15-year-old girl in Greenwich, Connecticut. Kennedy admitted that “Don’t be a saint“and that there was “one very turbulent youth“, but he had rejected the violence.

This is just one of the controversies that saw him as a key figure in the election campaign, when he ended up in the storm for cutting off the head of a dead whale with a chainsaw in the past and for not he admitted on social media the story, going back to 2014, on the bear cub a dead man was found in the street that he wanted to take home to skin but then he left Central Parksymbolizes an event.

Now, if confirmed by Congress, Kennedy jr will be in charge of public health. And the health care world has already gone into fibrillation. Shares of vaccine producers have fallen: on Thursday Moderna closed down more than 5%, Novavax 7%, Pfizer lost more than 2%, BioNTech by 6%, Britain’s GSK around 2%. And the announcement shakes the world scientific research and thousands of employees at federal agencies interest: many said they were ready to escape.
