RFK Jr. Fits Neatly Into The Far-Right Worldview With Paranoia, Lies And Lobotomizing Science For Fun And Profit

Though he originated as a fringe influencer, Cornish-Dale’s Raw Egg Nationalist has grown in popularity since 2022, when he appeared on a Tucker Carlson special about industrial chemicals, which aired on Fox News. The one-hour special, titled “The End of Men,” includes interviews with legitimate public health experts, like the former head of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Linda Birnbaum, who describes links between certain chemicals, like PFAS, and decreased sperm counts and testosterone.

It also veers into pseudoscience, interviewing conservative bodybuilders working out at a ranch owned by Jones, promoting practices like tanning one’s testicles to allegedly boost testosterone levels. The show did not discuss atrazine specifically or transgender people, but it included extensive interviews with Kennedy, who said use of herbicides and other endocrine disruptors would continue to lower testosterone and sperm counts, threatening human’s reproductive abilities. “You can do the math. We’re headed for a calamity,” Kennedy said. “It’s not a hyperbole; it’s just a mathematical fact, and you know this is a chemical warfare on our country.”

Cornish-Dale was also heavily featured in the show using his anonymous pseudonym, Raw Egg Nationalist. “The globalists want you to be fat, sick, depressed and isolated, the better to control you and to milk you for as much economic value as they can before they kill you,” Raw Egg Nationalist says in the segment, his voice overlaying photos of people wearing masks. “That’s soy globalism in a nutshell: know nothing, live in the pod, eat the soy. The best response to this is a strong politics nationalism.”

Though it was roundly slammed by liberal and mainstream media as farcical, “The End of Men” helped elevate both Kennedy and Cornish-Dale to audiences they may not normally reach. Prior to the segment, Cornish-Dale estimates his Raw Egg Nationalist account on X had an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 followers. Today, he has more than 264,000. As of July, Vice President JD Vance was one of them. “The End of Men sent my popularity through the roof,” Cornish-Dale wrote in a statement to E&E News. “Things just went crazy afterwards. I’ve been on a steep upward trajectory ever since.” Kennedy stands by the segment.
