RFK Jr. Watch
RFK Jr. is a right wing, conspiracy pushing, anti-vaccine candidate. He is presently running for the Democratic nomination for presidential candidate.

The present purpose of this community is to spread awareness of RFK Jr's actual positions and viewpoints in an effort to diminish his utility as a chaos agent and a spoiler in the upcoming election cycle.

Literally the first time I've heard of this guy and he's cruising off of the good will of JFK's name. For shame.
Definitely. At his events he loves to bring up his father RFK and his uncle JFK, but his platform couldn't be further from theirs. RFK Jr. has even been publicly rebuked by the Kennedy family. The only thing about him that is a Kennedy is his name.
