Here's yet another reason this nutjob will only draw support from wingnut MAGA anti-vaxxers who are attracted to this kind of crap. No Democrat who's bothered to do two minutes of research on this guy is going to vote for him.
Thanks to some wonderful reporting from Media Matters, we now know we can add this idiot to the list of people Robert Kennedy Jr. has been palling around with.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his organization Children's Health Defense are fans and promoters of James Corbett, a Sandy Hook and 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has claimed that “Hitler was a Rothschild” and “Hitler and the Nazis were one hundred percent completely and utterly set up … by the international banking community and the international crony capitalists.”
Kennedy has thanked Corbett for his supposedly “extraordinary work for keeping the public informed.” Kennedy’s anti-vaccine group has featured Corbett in numerous videos and at a recent symposium.
Trump and several associates have been praising Kennedy’s presidential campaign, with longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone stating that the Democrat’s candidacy will help “soften Joe Biden up for his defeat by Donald Trump.” Right-wing media figures, including former senior Trump adviser Steve Bannon, have also been propping up his candidacy.
Kennedy’s connections to Corbett add to a growing list of the Democratic presidential candidate’s right-wing media associations, including but not limited to:
- Appearances on programs hosted by right-wing personalities, including Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Stew Peters.
- Promoting and partnering with QAnon and COVID-19 conspiracy theorists.
- Appearing as a “featured” speaker on the right-wing, pro-Trump ReAwaken America tour.
- Promoting right-wing organizations Project Veritas, The Epoch Times, and Judicial Watch.
- Conducting outreach to neo-Nazi, white supremacist, and antisemitic accounts on the far-right platform Gab.
Corbett is a fringe online host whose website describes him as providing “breaking news and important issues from 9/11 Truth and false flag terror to the Big Brother police state, eugenics, geopolitics, the central banking fraud and more.” In a 2009 interview, Corbett said he was inspired to become a media figure in large part by the work of 9/11 conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
As they noted, Kennedy appeared on Corbett's show in November of 2021 (you can watch a small portion of that above) to promote his anti-Anthony Fauci book.
Read the rest of the Media Matters report for more on what a conspiracy theorist and anti-Semite this guy Corbett is.
I'm not sure what else has to be unearthed about Kennedy for most of our media to quit treating him as though he deserves an ounce of credibility. We know Fox won't stop promoting him, but we know what their agenda is.
