Although I have largely voted Democrat most of my life, the script has flipped, the roles reversed, and now it it the Democrats who are creating the "clown show" in what was a judiciously run hearing by Jim Jordan. I can scarcely believe the hate, vitriol and self-righteous indignation coming from people who I previously imagined were moral and ethical people. Now it's the Republicans turn (at least some of them) to be the voice of sanity. While trying to ridicule RFK Jr., it is quite likely that in the eyes of many such as myself, the new party of the self-righteous will end up making themselves ridiculous. Knowing no bounds to their hateful rhetoric, they will be "hoist by their own petard."
The Democratic Party as it exists today does not represent the ideals on which it was built. Political opportunism leads both Democrats and Republicans to feign as champions of popular issues. But in the end, we need a President who will lead be example by not taking the popular position because it's the easiest one.
Thanks for reading, Keihatsu. With your support, we can amplify RFK Jr.'s message across every corner of the country so Americans can see these values firsthand.
I used to vote Democrat. I thought it was the party of good feelings. That's how they lure you in. The establishment R's are really not much better. But until the "always vote democrat people" start to understand why Trump won in 2016 and turn a mirror onto themselves, we are never going to get out of this mess. I find people like Jim Jordan and several of the other republican members on the committee were truly the sane ones. I was amazed at the hateful false and libelous vitriol spewed from Wasserman Shultz, Plaskett and that boob from New York, Dan Goldman, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and bought his seat. It was just gross.
Yes yes yes...more of this please. BEST article written in many years...LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD and, maybe, finally heard. Mr Kennedy is bringing to LIGHT the darkness of his own party and is experiencing the persecution that Donald Trump has faced for far too long.
Is there any low-life character difference between, e.g., Nancy Pelosi, Leon Panetta, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Adam Schiff - AND -- Joe Biden and his criminal family?

Why attack Jim Jordan?? Why even mention Trump??? Does the author not realize that the danger to our constitution comes only from the people he voted for?? Jordan just wants to know on Jan 6th what was the FBI and the rest of the industrial security industrial complex doing??? Did they have people imbedded that started the agitation that morphed into the actual violence. Why did Pelosi hid the tapes or selectively edit the ones leaked to the press???? RFK jr is touching the same nerve that Trump has touched. Both know DC is a swamp both think we can be better. The swamp views both as threats to its existence. It’s already killed RFK jrs dad and Uncle. It has tried since 2016 to destroy Trump with its lies. And behind every lie are the Democrats. That’s why this prior D type voter will never vote for a D again. But RFK jr if he continues on this path can will my vote.
Your concerns are well taken. I encourage you to revisit what RFK Jr. has said about the January 6 protest participants. Of course, you and our columnist, David, will not agree on everything - that's the nature of politics, and The Kennedy Beacon is a platform to amplify a range of perspectives on important issues RFK Jr. is running on. But when it comes down to it, we're all fighting back against an overreaching government that has targeted Republicans, Democrats and independents alike.
Thank you for the kind response. I really find RFK Jr very appealing. I have listen to him on multiple pod casts and truly appreciate what he is saying.
“––should be scorned by all free-thinking people, “woke” or not”
You lost me at this point … free thinking people dig deeper and obviously you haven’t on the book “bannings”and the Florida curriculum issue.
Listen to Megyn Kelly’s interview with one of the scholars who sat on the Florida curriculum committee - BTW he happens to be black, along with five other minorities on the committee. Unlike Kamala he uses facts, not emotions to make his points and points to the full transparency offered by the committee and of the curriculum itself.
The vast majority of the book “bannings” have been with sexually explicit books in elementary schools. We used to arrest people who spoke to minors about sex - now in this upside down world if you speak out to protect children you get the label of a non-thinking person - or worse labeled by government agencies as a possible domestic terrorists.
With the comment above you’ve shown that you’re not much better than the democrats you are railing about - they label Kennedy an anti-vaxxer or an anti-Semite to demean and thereby curtail his speech and impeach his character. Likewise you’ve asked for people that don’t agree with your perspective to be scorned. What’s the difference?
I am confident , RFK JR will make the most competent President in the history of United States of America. Pelosi who ? she is the same corrupt woman who tried to silence me when I revealed a real time fact that USA imports 40 percent of the oil from Russia . Russian oil cannot be replaced because of its thickness that is essential in U.S industry . CIA and FBI agents are always lurking on comment boards to take away your freedom of speech rights . Great news its about time Youtube faces a Law suit from RFK JR .
Dump the Dems, RFK! They will not allow you a path to victory, even if Biden is not the candidate (time and disease pathophysiology are not on his side). It’s time for an independent run not beholden to either party. The focus should be getting on the ballots of all states and territories. This will be a titanic struggle, as both parties will more than adequately demonstrate just how anti-democratic they are.
Nice sober article. We need more honorable liberal thinkers. That the Democratic Party - the traditional political lifeline to the underdog - now openly supports censorship, and Big Pharma, and the Military-Industrial Complex is a very bad development for our country.
The whole circus in power needs to get out of the way. RFK needs a posse to back him up. Things need to change, we got to this dirty joke of a government and state of corruption because of the clowns we have allowed to lead us here. It's going to take an army to evolve.
I switched my affiliation to Democrat just to vote for RFK Jr. in the Pa Primary. Great article! Thank you. Hope he can win - America needs honesty and integrity more than ever. And this guy is smart. I hope/think he can withstand these horrible attacks. I couldn't.

Then, it's up to every American to do the same!
RFK, Jr. is a man of high integrity, courage, intelligence, rationality and incorruptibility.
Democrats are terrified of people with these qualities, they don't want anyone like RFK, Jr. in office or any position of power.
They want corrupt puppets like Biden, Harris, Newsom, Walz, Hochul, etc.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, Janine!
"We need to start being kind to each other, to start being respectful to each other."
And above all, truthful. For at the present, we have fulfilled Vilhjalmur Stefansson's diagnosis, in spades:
"The most striking contradiction of our civilization
is the fundamental reverence for truth which we profess
and the thorough-going disregard for it which we practice."
...and the truth of that statement is especially disregarded.
Amen, Peter!
Yes yes yes...more of this please. BEST article written in many years...LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD and, maybe, finally heard. Mr Kennedy is bringing to LIGHT the darkness of his own party and is experiencing the persecution that Donald Trump has faced for far too long.
Thank you -- David Talbot !!
You have always been and remained now a high integrity person.
A question:
Is there any low-life character difference between, e.g., Nancy Pelosi, Leon Panetta, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Adam Schiff - AND -- Joe Biden and his criminal family?

Hi,
Is the list of signatories available? I would like to write some letters to them.
I switched my affiliation to Democrat just to vote for RFK Jr. in the Pa Primary. Great article! Thank you. Hope he can win - America needs honesty and integrity more than ever. And this guy is smart. I hope/think he can withstand these horrible attacks. I couldn't.
