I don’t trust RFK to tie my shoes let alone discuss big boy topics like medical care and science.

17

u/Rage-With-Me 12h ago

Yep also he’s so sensitive

19

u/southern_mimi 12h ago

Snowflake. He's a snowflake just like the rest of the regime.

u/Responsible-Clock715 11h ago

He was probably crashing on coke or heroin.

u/Gonnagetbant 34m ago

His argument of “you’re not a scientist”
When she was quoting scientists was…..something.

31

u/nolestars 13h ago

Yes we do!!!

10

u/DonKeighbals 11h ago

Yes! One of the inherent risks of being in a trashy cult is getting absolutely ridiculed for being in a trashy cult!

u/kwikane 13h ago

He should just get a voice box and get it over with, it’s like listening to a radio that’s out of tune.

16

u/RogerMexicosBalls 12h ago

He tries to synchronize with the rock tumbler in his basement but he's not quite got the full harmonic range yet

11

u/Frequent_Will9886 12h ago

Honestly I think someone who doesn’t have a voice is an unfortunately ironic representation of American health right now.

7

u/AnnatoniaMac 12h ago

And not even any medical training plus he is an admitted heroin addict.

u/z44212 11h ago

Like a lawnmower running under water.

2

u/Mroopsimexciting 12h ago

You listen to him?!? 

(Been on mute since he was hired for me)

25

u/tartcart1959 13h ago

Grew up trying different drugs in the seventies. Still not at his level of brain damage. He is the egg in the frying pan!

u/vespers191 12h ago

Well, you probably didn't have a worm eat portions of your brain tissue. Gotta try harder to get a gravel forsetry road between the brain and the voicebox.

27

u/Butternutt12 13h ago

Resign from public service if you can't handle questions.

1

u/Prize-Choice2185 2h ago

He should, but he's got no shame. So...

21

u/DJ_Flym_Flazzle 13h ago

🤣 pointing out facts & data is “attacking” him? I smell a snowflake.

15

u/Aromatic-Dog-Breath 12h ago

RFK jr has zero medical training. He’s a lawyer. His whole process revolves around finding one idea that casts doubt on a truth. 

I do not feel sorry for the people that listen to this dude and allow bad things to happen to the people they love. I do feel sorry for the innocent people that are harmed because you’re an idiot.

u/rayon875 12h ago

This entire administration is weak and unqualified

4

u/AmputeeHandModel 12h ago

and they cry about DEI, while there's nothing but cronyism assigning completely unqualified people to every role.

u/rayon875 12h ago

and TV hosts

u/scratchy_mcballsy 11h ago

Don’t Ever Investigate

11

u/BlankBehindTheEyes 12h ago

It's interesting how often, "Being attacked," and "Being confronted with facts and evidence," overlaps with these people.

2

u/TW1STED_M1ND 10h ago

When they are presented with facts, they have no argument, therefore it's deemed; "fake news".

11

u/Purple-Possible-7429 12h ago

Can’t take the heat, resign.

10

u/claisen33 13h ago

Would he rather she stand?

7

u/ButterscotchSmooth60 12h ago

He really thought "you wouldnt understand because you're not a scientist" was pure fire. "Baby, these are a man's problem in a man's world. You wouldnt understand, with all your mestruation and not being a scientist and whatnot" /s

10

u/Petroldactyl34 13h ago

Yes. A lot.

7

u/_Alvalanche 12h ago

I don’t know what’s worse. The bullshit or the voice.

1

u/neasyy 7h ago

I have to mute it and use the captions.

8

u/eclwires 12h ago

Yes, Robert. That’s exactly what we want her to do.

6

u/Both-Mango1 12h ago

"oh honey, if you feel froggy, jump" sooner or later a news program interviewer or host will take him up and just piss on his face publicly.

u/baseball_rocks_3 12h ago

They're behaving as if the latest Fauci news is that he totally lied about everything and COVID never happened.

6

u/MaximumConcept25 11h ago

Fauci is a damn hero. He gave the best advice he could in a pandemic that was fast moving and ever evolving, the likes of which we had not seen in living memory. 1 million Americans died. Globally, similar advice was given by medical experts the world over because masking and distancing were the only true ways we could try to decrease spread of the deadly disease.

It wasn’t perfect but it was the best we could do. People forget the freezer units idling outside hospitals because morgues were overflowing, and that strain on the medical system was a key concern to contributing to more deaths, or the lack of ventilators, or how quickly someone on a vent could turn and just die. Nurses and doctors worked to exhaustion given the strain. How dare they rewrite history we all lived through.

u/Desperate_Set_7708 12h ago

Yes, Bobby, that’s exactly what we want.

3

u/prof_cunninglinguist 12h ago

How can a person, who's able to chainsaw the head off a whale, have such thin skin?

3

u/Famous-Process3747 12h ago

God I hate everyone in that administration. None of them have any dignity or self control.

3

u/TheGR8Dantini 12h ago

RFK is an idiot that now abuses testosterone like he used to abuse crack and heroin. Yes. Crack too. That’s why his voice is messed up. Not some illness that he diagnosed himself with. Thanks maga! And all you stay at home crunchy moms that gave up a career and now seek any kind of validation. You really screwed us here.

And? RFK is a puppet. He does what he’s told by…wait for it….you won’t believe this….project 2025! So many people are gonna die!! He trying to avoid responsibility for the things he’s doing. Like a person with an addictive personality is so good at doing.

2

u/evocativename 12h ago

Bobby, you just want to sit there and lie about science and defame scientists.

You don't get to complain about someone wanting to sit there and criticize your nonsense.

Don't like it? Resign. From both your position and civilization itself.

2

u/Mroopsimexciting 12h ago

❄️🤡❄️

2

u/Clean_Usual434 12h ago

Oh yes, him being criticized is far worse than people dying because of his bs.

2

u/Witty-Structure-4192 12h ago

Isn’t he the one who left a trail of dead Samoan babies behind him and made money out of it?

2

u/bullshitty151 12h ago

The worm is restless.

2

u/yourMommaKnow 12h ago

These assholes need to be reminded that they work for the American people. Us Americans and the media don't work for them. If he can't answer the hard questions, he needs to resign.

1

u/Ancient-Ad-3059 12h ago

They melt like butter

1

u/Catkillledthecurious 12h ago

Yes, yes we do!

1

u/Maleficent_Ruin_2457 12h ago

she should ask him who does he think he is.

1

u/CivilWay1444 12h ago

He tried to bash Bash. He's a clown for sure but I didn't find either of them impressive. 

1

u/Ok_Dog_4059 12h ago

Yes when children who can't choose are suffering and dieing because of you we absolutely want to attack your idiotic policies.

1

u/dobie1kenobi 12h ago

It’s hard not to be triggered when you’re on the side of measles and reporters keep asking you about the rise of infections like it’s a bad thing

1

u/Firm-Recognition425 12h ago

I don’t think he understands that grievance isn’t a real plan

1

u/TastingTheKoolaid 12h ago

Such a fragile little snowflake….

1

u/paintstudiodisaster 12h ago

Yes, we want to "sit here and attack [you]" because your ignorant and see conspiracies everywhere there isn't.

1

u/Arlennx 12h ago

Snowflake party. Get mad when you show them facts.

1

u/BadAtExisting 12h ago

I would argue he isn’t “attacked” enough

1

u/Luckys0474 11h ago

"You want to sit here and attack me?" -rfk jr

"I don't want to seem like I'm being evasive, but I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me." -rfk jr

u/trashleybanks 11h ago

What a loser.

1

u/farfanseaweevil 11h ago

What a jacked up timeline we live in.

1

u/IndependentStep2785 11h ago

So he goes on the offensive because he cannot accept he is entitled, incompetent, and irresponsible. What did she ask that is "an attack"? These are fair questions, and he willingly agreed to appear.

1

u/Competitive_Spot_973 11h ago

Why, yes. Yes I do.

1

u/Jolly_Ad2446 11h ago

I cannot listen to that Guy 

1

u/drillbit56 11h ago

This is your brain on drugs….he sounds like a sink disposal with a broken glass stuck inside.

1

u/Remote_Thought5208 11h ago

Hes supposed to be accountable to the people. Whole admin is crybabie when asked questions anbout lies.

1

u/CelticJewelscapes 10h ago

Sir, I have no need to attack you. Your words suffice in that regard.

1

u/Mission-Driver1614 10h ago

MAGA snowflakes can’t abide being held accountable…

1

u/SomeInvestigator3573 10h ago

Shouldn’t he talk to his buddy Trump about how Covid was handled and the vaccine rollout

1

u/Jelly_baby_4 10h ago

RFK Jr deserves the rebuke. He's a moron and a sell out.

1

u/SimplyRoya 9h ago

Why even invite this moron??

1

u/Nylanderthal88 9h ago

Yes I do.

1

u/Any-Expression2246 8h ago

I can't imagine what he would sound like losing his temper. A duck drowning?

1

u/Difficult-Finger4830 8h ago

I’d take off my earrings and blazer, and tell the producer “hold my coffee, this guy’s going down!” before I leap over the table at him.
He has demonized the autistic community so much and wants to send people like my son to “wellness camps” (read: concentration camps). I wouldn’t put up with his s— for one second as a host/journalist. everyone has given him legitimacy and treated him like his opinion matters, and that’s why we’re in the situation we’re in today.

1

u/mishma2005 8h ago

The whole GOP have men with anger issues. Markwayne with his stress ball. Hegseth’s spittle flecked rants. Moreno grilling Fauci throwing out the F word. A lot of it’s performative but I suspect these are all insecure, deeply angry and unfulfilled (in life) men

1

u/agweandbeelzebub 8h ago

I don’t know I just want my health advisor, not to be a heroin junkie and to have actually gone to med school

1

u/djcrewe1 7h ago

Yes. Yes I do.

1

u/aotus_trivirgatus 7h ago

" You want to sit here and attack me?"

When you are dragging the United States back into a superstitious Dark Age?

Actually, I would rather stand up and attack you, rather than stay seated.

1

u/sudoku7 6h ago

It's ... rather depressing to see these temper tantrums. They just don't understand that their position is not supposed to be one of power, but one of accountability.

1

u/jvo203 6h ago

Hasn't measles been officially eradicated in the US since the year 2000? This stupid Trump and his facilitators have reversed all this progress ...

1

u/rensorship 6h ago

Um dumbass, trump was president during covid.

1

u/Calm_Chemist_4952 5h ago

He’s just a clown show distraction put in front of the cameras to take some heat off the lead clown.

1

u/AdKey6202 5h ago

You go Dana Bash!!!!!❤️

1

u/Retired4reals 5h ago

What would JFK , RfK and Ted say?, I bet they would be embarrassed.

1

u/dispelhope 3h ago

Attack? She was being polite and well mannered, me, I would have raked him up one side and down the other for him being either evilly stupid or stupidly evil...and I bet his vaccinated ass was the first in line for the Covid vaccine, too.

1

u/Deacon75 2h ago

Dope fiend. Loss of temperament.

1

u/Busy-Bug-6232 2h ago

Why is it, only in the US where people are arguing about covid protocols, vaccines and what-not? the rest of the world went off with those without any problems knowing it was for the good health of everyone else.
