The Best Mainstream Magazine Article Possibly Yet Written About Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
By Matthew Scully In National Review, Even…Andrew Sullivan Weighs In In RFK Jr.s' Favor—Is The RFK's Media Fatwah Failing In Plain Sight?
“As surely as any Kennedy could once expect to be fawned over by Post reporters, this Kennedy — especially if he starts drawing crowds and votes — is never to be spared condescension and rebuke. The “why,” in case you haven’t heard, is that RFK Jr. has in recent years been airing “controversial,” “dangerous” views, and this makes him, says the Post, a “fringe figure” you needn’t take seriously.
“Among his many provocations: Kennedy claims that pandemic lockdowns were calamitous for working people and for children; that citizens should choose for themselves whether to receive vaccines; that corporate influences on government are pervasive and corrupting; and that censorship contrived by the state is intolerable. Worse even than these outrages, during the pandemic this man called into question the conduct and veracity of Anthony Fauci. And this offense — challenging Doctor Fauci! — is still regarded as the most shameful assault on science since the persecution of Galileo.”

Article The Real Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by Matthew Scully, here.
I have been a Republican my entire life, and I could vote for RFKJr. The issues he cares about are real ones, not fake and made up. He gets it and has no personal chip on his shoulder that he has been hauling around. He is also seemingly humble and very human, not a normal political quality set. Hope he gets the Dem nod and makes it a meaningful race in 2024.
You seem to be firing on all cylinders again. I'm happy to see that. Thank you for every word that you write.
