GAW/MAGA family, sometimes I fear that we are so eager to defeat the evil we've been fighting for so long that we become overly credulous.
Tucker Carlson's interview with RFK Jr. has millions upon millions of views. Snippets are being posted everywhere. Those who wish to save this Republic had their hearts soar when RFK Jr. appeared on stage with President Trump last Friday.
To be clear: I wholeheartedly endorse President Trump's approach of showing the American people that he is building a coalition of not just Republicans & Independents, but of sane Democrats with whom we agree on far more than we disagree.
However, while I appreciate RFK Jr's endorsement of President Trump, I certainly do not trust the man. There are many reasons for this but to put it succinctly, look no further than 13:52 of his interview with Tucker Carlson:
It is no secret that Jan 6th was a bad day, and it could have been handled better by everyone.
But getting mad at RFK for holding a position that normies hold (that being that Trump was at least partially responsible for Jan 6th) is dumb.
RFK, holding that belief, still endorses Trump. Do ya'll not notice that RFK thus sets the stage for those who consider Jan 6th a make-or-break on Trump to support and vote for Trump as well?
There may be the psychological bend to it for sure but Trump had zero to do with Jan 6 being falsely called an insurrection. For rfk to believe otherwise tells me he is a stupid man who still seeks approval of others.
You aren't reading this right.
The average person I talk to (mainly centrists but even some Trump voters) blame Trump (whether partially or entirely, and not necessarily negatively), for Jan 6th.
RFK endorsing Trump despite that belief is a wall breaker.
