Few serious people think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be elected president of the United States in 2024. The nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the namesake of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, who was also assassinated (six years later in 1968), is at this moment the main rival for the Democratic nomination to President Joe Biden. The Democratic race is not set up to allow Biden's defeat. There will be no debates, and the primary rules are all geared to ensure that the process will be a coronation of Biden that will not require him to expose himself to the rigors of campaigning or the scrutiny that attends his every stumble, both literal and figurative. But even those pundits most dismissive of his efforts are admitting to surprise at the level of support that RFK Jr. is generating, as evidenced by the 20% he received in the latest CNN poll. Some are starting to believe that dismissing him as a crackpot extremist might be a mistake for an incumbent who began his re-election effort with only 26% of Democrats saying they wanted him to run again and with a job-approval rating that's been deep underwater for the last two years.
That's why Kennedy's tweet last week in support of aging rock star/antisemite Roger Waters shouldn't be ignored.
Though it was soon deleted and the candidate then tried to rationalize what he had written (which was also eventually deleted), it's worth probing what would have led him to praise Waters after one of his most despicable performances.

Unless Biden is so repulsive that he loses anyway.
Even the US State Department is now calling for punishment of Roger Waters
Shows where their priorities are
Let it be so.
The cement in XiaoBidementia’s head will be even more evident (but maybe not more than in his ‘voters’)!
“The Democratic race is not set up to allow Biden’s defeat.”
Biden’s brain is not in a condition to support a victory for Biden in 2024.
Biden never won. He was installed by the same people that are to this day still trying to destroy Trump, unless you believe more people voted for Biden to be President than any other American in the history of our country?
Looks like RFKJ just passed the Tobin test.

...slow news day...
>> Biden never won. He was installed by the same people that are to this day still trying to destroy Trump
Exactly.
From Wikipedia:
George Roger Waters (born 6 September 1943) is an English musician, singer-songwriter. In 1965, he co-founded the rock band Pink Floyd as its bassist. Following the departure of the singer-songwriter, Syd Barrett, in 1968, Waters became Pink Floyd’s lyricist, co-lead vocalist and conceptual leader until his departure in 1985.
Pink Floyd achieved international success with the concept albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979), and The Final Cut (1983). By the early 1980s, they had become one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful groups in popular music. Amid creative differences, Waters left in 1985 and began a legal dispute over the use of the band’s name and material. They settled out of court in 1987.
In 1990, Waters staged one of the largest rock concerts in history, The Wall – Live in Berlin, with an attendance of 450,000. As a member of Pink Floyd, he was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Later that year, he reunited with Pink Floyd for the Live 8 global awareness event,...
He described Israel’s treatment of Palestinians as apartheid.”
“Waters compared the Israeli treatment of Palestinians to Nazi Germany, saying: “The parallels with what went on in the 1930s in Germany are so crushingly obvious.”
The American rabbi Shmuley Boteach responded to Waters in the New York Observer: “That you would have the audacity to compare Jews to monsters who murdered them shows you have no decency, you have no heart, you have no soul.” Speaking in New York afterwards, Waters said supporters of Israel often attack critics as antisemitic as a “diversionary tactic” by conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
“Waters said that the murder of George Floyd was carried out with a technique developed by the Israeli Defence Forces. He said the Americans had studied the technique to learn “how to murder the blacks because they have seen how efficient the Israelis have been at murdering Palestinians in the occupied territories by using those techniques ... The Israelis are proud of it.

From Brian Griffin:
Some people should stick to music or acting.
who was also assassinated (six years later in 1968)
If they are saying that RFK was assassinated 6 years after JFK, they need to go back to about the third grade.
JFK November 23, 1963
RFK June 6, 1968
Not even a full 5 years.
I mean, how many times has he done that performance he did recently in Berlin? You would think if it was really meant to be antisemitic they would have said something about the uniforms and so on long before now.
Do you have citation? Waters is British. How could the U.S. punish him?
RFK Jr tweeted support for Roger Waters, eh? ThatâÂÂs good, I think. RFK himself is a force to be reckoned with.
In actual fact, Pink Floyd always had a major influence on my own songwriting.
But if there’s a bit of communism in them it’s not good at all. And their theme of despair in lyrics has to be turned around IâÂÂd say.
I’m for anyone who causes trouble for Biden in the election.
They forced him to commit suicide by taking fentanyl ?
Declare him a Trump supporter, which instantly removes his international civil rights ?
What’s the Tobin test?
“Even the US State Department is now calling for punishment of Roger Waters”
“Even”? Waters opposes everything they do and stand for. It would be amazing if they didn’t. And just out of curiosity. The State Department wants him “punished”? That is some serious hubris.
