(94,610 posts)...great guy though, in 1998, as you represented him to me.
DNC: RFK Jr. made big promises to pollution victims. Some say he didnt keep them.
....new reporting from The Washington Post examines how RFK Jr. spent his career preying on and profiting off of the vulnerable communities he claims to fight for. Despite pitching himself as an environmental champion who took on big corporations, records show he often accomplished little- whether it was for a Native American tribe in New Jersey or Appalachians affected by mountaintop removal.
To quote those who were impacted by his failures, RFK Jr. took advantage of and used them for vanity project(s). Just like Donald Trump who now owns this baggage RFK Jr. is a fraud.
Others whose health and homes were at stake in the fights Kennedy took on say he badly disappointed them, promising justice but ultimately revealing himself to be little better than the enemies he tilted against one more outsider, in their view, exploiting a community for publicity or legal fees instead of coal or factory labor.
