But I wouldn't expect anything less of someone who dumped a dead bear in Central Park and made it look like a bike accident. RFK, Jr. has as much of a propensity towards conspiracy theories as Trump. They are birds of a feather and it's hard to imagine his endorsement will do anything other than make MAGA even more cultish than it already is.
Perhaps we should not be so surprised. After all, it was RFK, Jr. who claimed that President Biden was a greater threat to the American democracy than Trump. Some April Fool's joke.
Beyond the weirdness, there is the grift. RFK, Jr. wants to become HHS Secretary or be appointed to some cabinet post. Given Trump's lack of fidelity to the truth, I would not be inclined to trust Trump if I were in RFK, Jr's shoes.
It is worth noting RFK, Jr. wanted the same from Kamala Harris who wasn't interested, and I cannot say I blame her. Why would she appoint an anti-vaxxer as HHS Secretary? It just would have been weird and Kamala Harris and Tim Walz don't do weird when it comes to the governance of this country.
