That is simply not true. Right here he’s in 2021, on a podcast. He mentioned he accosts individuals carrying infants on mountain climbing trails and in grocery shops, urging them to not vaccinate, “to avoid wasting” the youngsters. Say his fellow anti-vaxxers ought to “come out of the closet.” pic.twitter.com/8DwqyzKNHb

RFK Jr. is making an attempt to run for the Democratic presidential nomination. His anti-vaccine beliefs have been very well-known for years, so it’s unfathomable why he would really feel the necessity to not be truthful with Congress whereas below oath. The proof is within the video. RFK Jr. launched a video that was seen to the general public by which he tells individuals to not have their youngsters vaccinated.
Rep. Jim Jordan has already had one witness referred to Merrick Garland for lying to Congress. RFK Jr. could possibly be the second.
The weaponization subcommittee hearings have been a catastrophe for Republicans. They have been so bad that even Fox News and Newsmax dropped their coverage of the RFK hearing.
Home Republicans complain that the mainstream press received’t cowl these hearings, however the hearings are stuffed with witnesses pushing conspiracy theories which can be being embraced by the Republicans on the committee.
The Republican members of the committee, together with Jordan, have been known as out for lies and misrepresentations. It seems the identical downside extends to the witnesses too.
