Something really astonishing about the RFK nomination

Last edited Thu Jan 16, 2025, 10:10 AM - Edit history (1)

During the campaign a former baby sitter accused him of sexual assault and he not only basically admitted to it, he said he had no idea how many other such women there would be. https://people.com/rfk-jr-questioned-sexual-assault-allegations-8677221

This has disappeared to such an extent that I honestly went to look it up to see if I had remembered correctly. I get that there are a myriad of reasons he should be rejected but it seems this should be on the table.

On edit when I did look this up all of the things that came up were from the campaign, it literally isn't be discussed at all right now.

That behavior is not only expected in Magat land, it's celebrated. If we had a working press, this story could not have been buried.

Will they report it when Hegseth staggers into his Pentagon office? I doubt it.
