Why RFK Jr. turned away from Democrats and backed Trump - Washington Week PBS



Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is caught in daily clashes with people who think he is destroying science, including members of his own family, and those who think he is saving it. But as he takes on the medical establishment, what led to his decision to turn away from Democrats, the party of his famous father and uncle, to become a backer of Donald Trump? - Aired on 11/28/2025.

I too, am tired of being schooled on the making of monsters by the ghouls that brought the body parts to the laboratory.

I am done listening to them, until I hear them broadcast these words: RESIGN NOW!

OK maybe some of his intentions are for the "good of the people" - that remains to be seen - but we must question his ability to make rational decisions.

One more thing ... Bob Kennedy tried to win primary elections within the Democratic Party and he was rejected. Democrats didn't vote for Kennedy in 2024, because he repeatedly demonstrated that he would have been a terrible nominee.
