Once again, it is time for an episode of ‘Tucker on Twitter,’ this time featuring an interview with Robert Kennedy, Jr.:

We won’t pretend we can verify very much about what Kennedy is saying. But we do think his discussion on the border is very much on point. We have long approached the issue from a humanitarian viewpoint and what we are doing right now is a humanitarian disaster. We are tempted to write a separate post on that subject.
We also simply appreciate hearing a deep discussion of views we don’t necessarily agree with. One should always challenge one’s own viewpoints.
And like last time, we find the jabs at Fox News to be interesting. The gloves are coming off, at least a little.
And to follow up on a previous episode, as of now his interview with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has only 11.8 million views. Which is weird because we thought the discussion was much more interesting and newsworthy than the Tate brothers, who absolutely buried him in ratings. Of course, there have been allegations of view counts being manipulated in the past, but we haven’t seen them be substantiated.
Still, Carlson seems to be settling into a pattern mostly of interviews, with less of his commentary, at least for now. Maybe he is finding it easier to find interviews than in the past.

Tucker is allowing RFK Jr. to speak the truth about Ukraine, COVID, and JFK’s assassination.
It’s the truth that the media and establishment don’t want you to hear.
It’s the truth that would’ve been censored if Tucker was still on Fox News.
Thank God Tucker is on 𝕏!

Yes, if what Kennedy is saying about Fauci is true … he’s a pretty vile human being. Er, a more vile human being than we previously believed, that is. But see our comment about not being able to verify what RFK Jr. said.
😳 This interview contains several bombshells: - RFK has been refused secret service security detail for no reason - Russia's nuclear weapons are probably far better than ours - Anthrax was most likely an inside job - Fauci shifted his experiments offshore to China to avoid US…

We have seen scientists on Twitter who said that you can see clear signs of tampering. We don’t know if that means one group is right, or wrong, or if there is a way their views can be reconciled, but it is worth considering.

Opens with Tucker saying he's going to do the only interview with RFK in the past 15 years that doesn't mention vaccines.
I don't see how that's a good thing. We should be talking about it ad nauseum until something is done about it. Can't let up the pressure.
Just started… https://t.co/BaazgHuX8B

The funny thing is eventually they do talk about vaccines, but in a very indirect way.
Tucker Episode 16 with RFK Jr. This is the first episode that actually showed up in my feed. https://t.co/7HsQx4EB8S

We have seen allegations of suppression of Carlson’s shows. Last time, people claimed that although they set notifications, they didn’t get any. This author has set notifications on both his main and backup accounts, and got both.
Which doesn’t mean the complaints aren’t true. It is very easy for TSMSFKA Twitter to be very different for each person, including by manipulation by the company. We’re just sharing our data and you can make of it what you will.
(TSMSFKA Twitter stands for The Social Media Site Formerly Known As Twitter)

__________________________
Unlike me, you obviously have been paying great attention to RFK, Jr.. I never did before his most recent interviews. He does appear to speak his mind and not hide in the shadows like so many others. Speaking one’s mind, whether right or wrong on a topic is our most important right, that’s why it’s at the top of our list of Constitutional Amendments. I’m sick and tired of all the lies every day.
You’ve been here since 2009 and he’s been posted about fairly regularly since then. You can not only see the articles but also what FR actually thinks of him in the comments sections of said article.
And no one said he isn’t free to “speak his mind” - but what he says and how rational it is - is highly relevant in evaluating his credibility.
