RFK Jr. tells NH crowd he’s considering a presidential run

During a visit to St. Anselm College Friday, environmental activist and vaccine skeptic Robert Kennedy Jr. told a capacity crowd that he’s considering a presidential run.

“I’m thinking about it, and I’ve passed the biggest hurdle, which is my wife has green lighted it,” Kennedy said to cheers after a morning speech at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.

During his hour-long remarks, Kennedy stressed his work as an environmental activist and his family’s role in modern American politics.

“We can’t advance ourselves as a people by leaving our poorer brothers and sisters behind. The things that define our nation are these communities, and they are based on the constitution.”

Throughout, Kennedy also offered scathing critiques of the corruption he says has infected how the federal government handled the COVID-19 pandemic, and led to chronic failures to regulate big businesses from technology to drug companies.

“We pay more for medicine and more for pharmaceuticals. We consume three times more pharmaceutical drugs than other Western nations, and we have the worst health outcomes,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy added that his criticisms of those in power led to his being “deplatformed” on social media. Instagram barred Kennedy for spreading vaccine misinformation in 2021. He also issued dire warnings about partisan political divides he characterized as “very very tribal.”

“We have probably the greatest polarization in our country’s history that we’ve ever had since the Civil War, really dangerous polarization,” Kennedy warned.

Should Biden do as expected and run again, unseating him would be a long shot for any candidate.

But some of Biden’s staunchest 2020 backers turned out Friday to hear Kennedy. Several said it was a mistake to write off Kennedy prematurely.

“He’s got the name, and that opens a lot of doors,” said longtime Democratic state senator Lou D’Allesandro.

Nobody is going to remember RFK, so there won't be any "Kennedy mystique" in it to help him. On the positive side, nobody will shoot him either, probably.

He has the environut part of him that makes him a bit scary but he is right on fauci and Big Pharma. Don' know that i trust him but he might be a tad more pro america than Biden.

His being a "tad more pro America" would not make me want to vote for him. The demented in chief HATES America so, it would not be difficult to be a little more pro America.

Some of what he says I agree with, some not.

Prevention is better than a cure.
Much better if you do NOT take medicines,. The more medicines you take, the worse your health was in the first place.
Fix your diet and lifestyle. But that is harder than going to a chemist/doctor.

Totally, what I have seen here is appalling.  That mindset will destroy any country.

Yes I agree with you on these quotes and find Kennedy is either trying to repair his radical environmentalist image he decided on last decade or finally using common sense when he's analizing problems . I won't vote for him because his sudden change forwards reality might be only for the vote but he is starting to be reasonable so maybe there's hope yet .
