And it was easy!In all the hubbub about the Anne Frank part of RFK’s speech I actually missed this hilariously offensive line right before it. “Look, Jew, I’m sorry for your troubled but you could have just hiked over the alps, dumbass” https://t.co/4gWAbtgFeG pic.twitter.com/sjOjHYG4C4

To the extent it didn’t cause hurt, he stands by the analogy. Because he was up all night working on that one, one where he could combine Anne Frank and Julie Andrews. That wasn’t easy, ya know!Aw, buddy, don’t get down on yourself. Why don’t you go kill a few dozen Samoans, that always makes you feel better. https://t.co/bFjl91ufgI

He's in the same business as Alex Jones and Joe Rogan, making money through shock jockery, if he thought his branding would be to go full fascist. He reminds me a lot of James Roosevelt who traded on his father's name and went from "liberal Democrat" to Democrats for Nixon and ended up shaking down elderly people by scaring them over Social Security and Medicare.
ReplyDeleteI have a strong suspicion that if his hubris and conceit hadn't killed him, John-John Kennedy would have going a similar path. The time he asked Madonna to dress up like his mother so he could put a picture of it on his George magazine pretty much showed he'd use anyone.
