As a party, we need to make it clear that he is NOT a Democrat. Someone will see the name and vote for him if we don’t clarify who he is.

Yes the name means something for this 71 year old but Jr. stands for nothing except for bigotry, conspiracy bs and being intellectually challenged. Thank you for highlighting this lowlife.

I am a life long Democrat. I have been a leader in the MN DFL as a Senate

district Chair, Chair Emeritus & once again a Vice Chair. I am appalled by RFK Jr. What a disgrace to the Kennedy legacy. I denounce his behavior.

He is an embarrassment. To his family, to the country. What is he trying to prove? RFK Jr Are you trying to embarrass yourself? You should just go back home and keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. You are ridiculous and pathetic. If you must do this at least have the decency to change your name.

His name means something to people who don’t listen to him or educate themselves about him.

What will it take for the leadership of the Democratic Party to denounce RFKJr? Are they so afraid of his family name that they think it will somehow trigger a backlash in and outside the party? Or worse, are they afraid that if he is forced out, someone worse, like Manchin or Sinema will step in and decide to challenge Biden? Both of them are cocky enough to think they could beat him.

As I note in the article the DNC chair and others denounced it. But still need more big Dems

Frankly Dean, it needs to be every Dem with a nationally recognized, and even without a nationally recognized, voice. Every Senator, every Congressman, every Governor, every member of a statehouse...and when Fox and the Republicans go into full outrage mode screeching that it is all to protect Biden, remind them that they are spending all of their time protecting a twice impeached, disgraced, sexual predator and well known loser who is under indictment in two jurisdictions.

This sounds stupid, but guess who actually needs to say, something? Taylor Swift! The kids will listen to her, and she has the power to get them voting for Biden.

Clearly, The Kennedy Family need to stage an intervention with this one.

Even during the Holocaust people could hide in attics?! I almost vomited at the thought. They hid in an attic because they had to, not because they wanted it. What kind of warped mind thinks that’s ok??

This really brings home why his antisemitic, anti-Chinese, and otherwise bigoted and baseless claims are so dangerous. Thanks for always digging into the Why behind the What.

His pure idiocy rivals trump himself. He better be clearly defined by the Democrats otherwise some people will vote for him purely on his name. His father must be turning over in his grave.

Bobby Jr. needed to get high with smarter,less crazy people when he was younger.

It is obvious to that RFK JR.. is mentally ill. He has clearly suffered some type of emotional or mental breakdown. Does anyone have any ideas about what might have caused it. I feel sorry for his family and friends for all of the pain he has caused them . I especially feel sorry for his mother Ethel Kennedy who is now in her 90's and has been through so much trauma in her life. What he is doing to all the people who have cared for him his entire life is just down right cruel.

Go ahead and denounce him, he's earned it. But stop trying to tie him to the legitimate left insurgency against your party. He's right of you, we never supported him; but your attempts at conflating him with West and others have never stopped. Your fight with us is different.

Not sure what you mean either- but great to see all the Dems denoucing him. There is no place for RFK Jr bigotry and lies in our party. He should run as a Republican - they would love him!!
