RFK Jr. is a right wing, conspiracy pushing, anti-vaccine candidate. He is presently running for the Democratic nomination for presidential candidate. The particular problem with the RFK Jr. candidacy is that he enjoys widespread support due to the Kennedy name and the values that the name has historically supported.

The present purpose of this community is to spread awareness of RFK Jr's actual positions and viewpoints in an effort to diminish his utility as a chaos agent and a spoiler in the upcoming election cycle.

Excellent. I hope more platforms take action as well against RFK Jr's disinformation. That interview was a real doozy, from perpetuating Kremlin propaganda about the war in Ukraine, to claiming that chemicals in the water are feminizing human men, and, of course, his signature anti-vax diatribe.
