My hope for the effectiveness of this speech is that it actually gets in front of people who normally don't pay attention so they can see how thoroughly batshit and mind-numbingly fucking stupid this man truly is.
If it accomplishes that it was worth it.

People are claiming that Mitch McConnell being braindead disqualifies him from being a member of Congress.
Honesty, after watching Congress for decades, I assumed that was a *qualification* for being in Congress.

The hard truth is that right now, our Secretary of Health is one of our nation’s biggest health threats and largest sources of health disinformation.
Realistically, we need RFK Jr. to be FIRED. At a minimum, he needs to answer to Congress for his attacks on public health.
