“Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Town Hall on NewsNation”

Click above for the video: RKK Jr with NewsNation

All I’ve known about Robert F. Kennedy Jr, for about all my life, is that he’s a vaccine nutter. That he believes vaccines cause autism and that’s crazy, so we can dismiss him as a loon. 

However: he does have views on other issues,,which we see in this Townhall with NewsNation, above. On the Ukraine War, on Immigration and the crisis at the border, on Covid lockdown harms, on the drugs scourge. They all strike me as eminently sensible. Even on vaccines, he says he’s not anti-vax (he and his family are fully vaccinated) but that vaccines ought be tested fully as are other medicines.

He also makes a good point about unifying people: how can you do that without talking to people that you don’t agree with? [PF: Instead of, say, Hillary Clinton’s calling Republicans “deplorables”, and members of “a cult”; or Joe Biden's calling Republicans “semi-fascists”].

I’n not known much if anything of NewsNation, until now. They’re labelled “Centre” by AllSides rating. They do “live and unedited” Townhalls. That’s good, isn’t it? And, I must say, it’s a relief to watch something where the moderator, here Elizabeth Vargas, is not always interrupting and trying to “fact-check” the guest. 

This is a good show of one of the main candidates in the 2024 election. After watching, would you rather him, or Joe Biden? 

ADDED: yet here, is how the “Centre” site has guests on who ignore every single one of RJK Jr’s policy proposals. All of which I thought made more sense than those of candidates on either side.
