The voice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed drastically over the years. In fact, many of you will be very surprised if this is the first time you heard his voice prior to the year 2000. He was diagnosed to have a condition known as spasmodic dysphonia which began in 2001 and you can definitely hear the change in his voice after that.
I find that watching him on a video site that lets you to go up at least to 1.5x speed makes it a lot easier to listen to. Nearly removes the stutter.
He's only been polled twice vs Biden, two weeks apart in April, and went from 10% [Morning Consult] to 14% [Suffolk University].
Those voters came straight out of the Zombie's hide as well. The MSM is outright afraid to poll him again. Schadenfreude!
Acting as an unintentional stalking horse once the Deep State does their thing would be a concern.
I never knew the causes of spasmodic dysphonia, what RFK, Jr. is diagnosed with, but I just looked it up:
What Is the Cause of Spasmodic Dysphonia?
The exact cause of spasmodic dysphonia is unknown, however, most cases result from a trigger in the brain and nervous system that can affect the voice. Sometimes it is caused by psychological stress.
For muscle tension dysphonia, there is usually an inciting event that leads it to develop, resulting in a strained vocal quality. These events may include:
Surgery
Virus
Inflammatory Illness
Lesions
Neurologic conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease
Having endured dysphonia for some ten years now (there is no known cause), I must say I admire him to plow ahead with his handicap. Speaking with dysphonia is like driving a car with the parking brake on.
I agree, it doesn’t appear to have stopped him. I’m sorry you have to go through this.
Mine is mild, not so bad as his. Still, I have to measure my public speaking events. Campaigning is non-stop communication. Will be very challenging for him .
My wife and sister sound identical. On the telephone I could not tell the difference. I had to be careful as they would sometimes play tricks on me.
Quite a change...
The days & years of “Camelot” are long over.
“I’m not criticizing him but just showing how much his voice has changed.”
Oh, I know, and I appreciate the video compilation. And also explaining the reason for his voice changing. My wife and I were discussing this last night...maybe the night before? I mentioned that he sounded unhealthy. But now I know the reason for his rough voice. Thanks.
That would be a dream come true. Kennedy would make a great czar.
I think with what he knows, if that we’re to happen, they’ll be lining up for whistleblower protection or jumping off the roof.
“The days & years of “Camelot” are long over.”
I was probably too young to know any better, but those times were more “enchanting”. Heck, even my high school sweetheart absolutely loved Jackie Kennedy, and this was six years after Kennedy was killed. (Anything my sweetheart loved...so did I.)
I was in my teens, and remember those ‘cold war’ days well. I especially remember 11.23.63...
I was in junior high...sitting in a classroom when the announcement came over the loudspeaker. I was 12...but still hit hard by that. I probably couldn’t have voiced my feelings sufficiently...but I knew it was a horrible thing...and wrong.
and/or, he’s smoked a log size doobie..
I’m glad the rest of our humble servants of the people are without such egos.
Trump and Trump alone stands in the way with his massive all encompassing ego.
He is a threat to our fake democracy don’t ya know?
I was 13, had just received my Eagle Scout Rank 3 days earlier — still have my wallet card w/ JFK’s 11/20/63 signature as Honorary Chairman — and was sitting in HS Geometry Class, and it came over PA System. School was dismissed for 5 days, so we could be with our families. I saw Oswald killed by Ruby, live on TV, the funeral etc. Terrible time for America.
