I know most of it is theatrics, the show the politicians put on for us so that we feel them to be on our side. But, all that said, this does seem like a stab right to the throat.

I had a neighbor loan me RFK's book on Fauci a year ago, and truth be told it's probably one of the craziest things I've ever read in my entire life.
Voldermort by comparison is a pigmy chicken with anger issues compared to the picture the book paints of Dr. Fauci. Without mincing words, RFK accuses Fauci of orchestrating the experimentation of drugs in Africa and blames him directly for the deaths of thousands of people during the AIDS pandemic.
I'll go even further and say that some passages on the book filled me with such indignation I had to skip through them for my own mental health. And yet, this book was released into the world and not a single lawsuit for defamation was filed.
Make of that what you will...
It's undeniable that RFK has said some crazy things over the years, and in today's day and age, all that craziness gets very recorded. As they say, the internet doesn't forget.
Unlike most people who might be against his confirmation, I'm not going to sit here and say that he is evil or that he's got bad intentions. I think that he's sincere with his concerns(open to being wrong), and he's simply misguided by his own hunger for conspiracies.
That said, I think his confirmation will be inevitable, more so because as it stands the democrats have little to no political capital, and everything they put forth these days is met by the people as with a sharpie sign that reads "too little, too late".
I've seen quite a few prominent figures defending RFK's nomination, using a language that con only be interpreted as veil threats.
The truth is that RFK for all his flaws, addictions, and bizarre behavior, has been on the right side of history in the past, and their supporters won't let you forget that.

There was a time when I followed the Weinstein brother's intellectual musings almost weekly. As a matter of fact, Bret for all his weird antics, was one of those voices in the days of COVID who made sense to me, and thus earned a lot of rep for it among a vast group of people.
But his shift to MAGA, this, I didn't see coming.

Before the day ends I'm sure we will see tons of more videos of the circus putting forth their best acts. The faux outrage machine is already producing some bangers, but do not think the show is over, not just yet.
All this to say, regardless of all the puffing and posturing, we already know the answer.
Bobby is in the chair, so... don't forget your seatbelts.
