An event held by his super PAC has people talking.

If youve ever looked at Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and thought I like the work hes doing undermining vaccines and otherwise putting millions of peoples lives at risk, but Id like to see it done on a bigger scale, today is your lucky day. According to a new report, Mr. MAHA may be considering making another presidential run in 2028.
Axios reports that Kennedys super PAC co-hosted an organizing call for supporters and influencers last week, a move that has stirred speculation that hes positioning for a run at the White House in 2028. The Zoom call brought together hundreds of Kennedys supporters and was aimed at energizing his grassroots Make America Healthy Again movement and discussing ways to build enthusiasm for the Health and Human Services secretary. While a presidential campaign was not explicitly discussed, two people familiar with the matter told Axios that they came away from the event believing it was a step toward another campaign for Kennedy, whose long-shot run in 2024 wound up helping Donald Trump to victory. The call was reportedly led by Tony Lyons, the cofounder and cochairman of the MAHA super PAC; vaccine skeptic Robert Malone, and Kennedy adviser Stefanie Spear. According to Axios, it was Lyonss involvement that people saw as a sign that the PAC would help prepare a campaign and fundraising machine in-waiting for Kennedy, to be ready if he chooses to run.
How would Kennedy pitch himself to the American people during a second potential shot at the White House? While he would undoubtedly tout his war on synthetic food dyes, he could also run on:
His support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which will cause millions of people, many of whom are children, to lose health insurance
The National Cancer Institute cuts that experts warn will set this nation back dramatically in our ability to reduce death and suffering
The proposed near total elimination of funding to the CDCs chronic disease center, despite Kennedys claims of being all about fighting chronic disease
Itll be tricky to fit it all onto a lawn sign, but surely he can come up with some kind of snappy slogan to summarize the above. Or maybe just a photo of him dressed as the grim reaper would suffice.

(3,771 posts)Air America Radio was a progressive radio station on air for about 5 years that essentially gave Rachel Maddow her start. Some of their other hosts in the beginning were Randi Rhodes, Sam Seder and Jeannine Garofalo, Mark Maron and Mark Riley, and Al Franken. The show "Ring of Fire" was co-hosted by RFK, Jr. and Mike Papantonio, who spent a good deal of time bringing Republican mis-deeds to light. RFK Jr. championed the case of Don Siegelman's wrongful imprisonment https://www.democraticunderground.com/1002799103 . He referred to scientists who spread propaganda for the big oil companies as "biostitutes". Before many people knew who Marco Rubio was, he devoted a lot of time to why he would make a bad Senator. In general, he would lay out logical and rational arguments against Republicans and backed everything with facts.
What happened to him? Could the brain worm have damaged his personality?

(12,288 posts)useful to the GOP election rigging via a third party? Realizes at least all his positive(in his own mind!) goals are made impossible by Trump and DOGE? In any event, he replaces both reality and personal guilt under some delusional blanket, What has HE been taking all these years? Crazy makes a great ally to purposeful evil.
