Kennedy? 2024?

This Lousy T-Shirt

The other day I saw someone sporting this t-shirt:

Simple, yet defective

I wasn’t sure if this meant RFK, Jr. or JFK, Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has thrown his clearly-much-too-tight-to allow-sufficient-oxygen-to-his-brain hat into the ring to challenge Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination (I guess). Jr.’s candidacy does give him a much more robust platform to compare COVID-19 vaccines to Nazi concentration camps, and countless other conspiracy theories. Kennedy, a conspiracy theorist of the highest order, said he “thought” Joe Biden won the 2020 election, but was not sure.

RFK, Jr.’s latest dive off the deep end suggested that “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” Now, at first blush this might not seem as anti-Semitic as other RFK, Jr. fodder until you stop to think: Exactly who, besides Jews, would be protecting Jews? And why spare the Chinese? Everyone knows how much Jews love Chinese food.

How many times does one need to defend, deny, apologize, rationalize, homina-homina-homina their anti-Semitic statements before one must admit to oneself and the world that, okay, so I'm anti-Semitic, so sue me.

“What is your problem with the Jews, Ralph?”
“Homina, homina, homina.”

Maybe the shirt was not even referring to RFK, Jr. Qanon believes his cousin John F. Kennedy, Jr. is still alive and is preparing to swoop in, become Trump’s running mate and make America something again, or maybe for the first time. Who the fuck knows anymore? Maybe since JFK, Jr. has yet to show himself, he’s been upgraded to the top of the ticket.

RFK, Jr. has been spending quality time with anti-Semites, Joe Rogan and Michael Flynn and on Fux News. Though he claims to be running as a Democrat, most of RFK, Jr.’s support and funding comes from the Steve Bannon wing of the Fascist Party. We reached out to Kennedy to find out if he believes John, Jr. is still alive and/or planning to enter the 2024 race.

We also reached out to John, Jr. Our requests for comment drew no response, possibly due to a lack of his being alive.

Hasn’t the Kennedy family suffered enough? Junior’s sister and cousin Joseph publicly rebuked him for his comment regarding the Jews. Undoubtedly, RFK, Jr.’s father and two uncles are fortunate to be unable to witness this shameful tableau…unless they too are simply in hiding.

Or perhaps it had nothing to do with any of the Massachusetts Kennedys and the wearer was supporting super-Cracker John Kennedy of Louisiana – one of the most asinine members of the Senate in living memory, a tragically high bar.

Whoever this person was intending to support, as we passed each other I was too polite to offer up a WTF, too scared to ask, and too nauseated to point and laugh.

I. Mangrey, watching the wheels go round fall off the bus.
