Robert F. Kennedy Jr. targeted former President Trump over his administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, as he spoke to Libertarians during their party convention Friday.

Kennedy argued that the former president and his administration had violated people’s First Amendment rights when they instituted health guidelines to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

“I think he had the right instinct when he came into office. He was initially very reluctant to impose lockdowns, but then he got rolled by his bureaucrats. He caved in, and many of our most fundamental rights disappeared practically overnight,” Kennedy said at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington.

“President Trump allowed his health regulators to mandate science-free social distancing, which undermined our First Amendment rights to freedom of assembly. We could no longer peacefully gather,” he said later.

1. The Right to be Wiped Out by Plague is among my most cherished rights

Government should go out of the health business, there's plenty of bleach available, just provide needles.



RFK Jr. should be treated for attentionitis. He is totally unaware of how lame and ridiculous he appears to the public.

2. WOW...

... that worm had quite a picnic in Bobby's brainpan.

A while back, I read a very funny bit about libertarians, might have been here...

A little boy says to his mother, "When I grow up I'm gonna be a libertarian!"
To which his mother replied, "Well, which is it going to be? You can't do both!"

Ba-dum-bum-bum. You're welcome.

3. wasn't...

...social distancing 6 feet...?

“...which undermined our First Amendment rights to freedom of assembly. We could no longer peacefully gather,” he said later."

...we could gather, we could easily whisper across the 6 feet with a mask on...and magats gathered to destroyed the 'peace'...

...I was there, we talked and gathered as we checked out of the stores...

...many died because of the trump/kennedy dumber and dumber approach to science, facts and reality...

5. Somewhere...

RFK, Sr., must be wishing he’d done something else the night Jr was conceived. What a fucking embarrassment to Kennedy name and legacy.

12. This is just what the libertarians like to hear too

I guess Bob knows where his voters are. He certainly won't steal any votes from the Democratic Party.
Next he'll be kissing up to Rand Paul.

13. The right to kill other people who didn't make that choice

is the most wonderful freedom. Anyone who doesn't like it is welcome to die. That's the price of freedom. Freedom isn't free.

Libertarians are babies.
