    Kennedy referred to rioters in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as “activists” and suggested they were victims of an “outrageous miscarriage of justice,” in a Thursday statement.

    Well, now you’ve gone from crazy cook to stupid asshole.

    First of all, yeah, duh.

    Second, wouldn’t that be advantageous to someone sane getting elected? If his batshit crazy campaign is attracting MAGAs, wouldn’t that split the Trump vote?

        Elon has been with more women than just Grimes my dude, but I meant Nicole Shanahan, Sergey Brin’s ex-wife, whom is also Musk’s ex-gf.

        Musk was also with Amber Heard for a lil bit after the Heard/Depp trial.

            I read a lot of news and connections are important, like how Vladimir Putin and Rupert Murdoch are Eskimo brothers over Wendy Deng, it shows the kind of circles people travel in, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign has been “hijacked by MAGA” Friday.

    Kennedy referred to rioters in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as “activists” and suggested they were victims of an “outrageous miscarriage of justice,” in a Thursday statement.

    “His campaign has been hijacked by MAGA,” Kinzinger told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a Friday interview.

    Kennedy’s email drew comparisons between charges against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and Jan. 6 defendants, stating, “Rarely do opposites attract, especially in Washington.”

    This is the reality that every American Citizen faces – from Ed Snowden, to Julian Assange to the J6 activists sitting in a Washington DC jail cell stripped of their Constitutional liberties,” it said.

    A spokesperson for Kennedy’s campaign, Stephanie Spear, later said in a statement obtained by The Hill that the email’s language was an error.
