A left-wing dark money group is bankrolling a “war room” to oppose environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. The same organization supported his presidential campaign.

“They supported him to take votes away from Trump, but now that he’s in they want to oppose him.”
^^^^^ This.
>> I smell George Soros.
lol — that sounds horrible
Smells horrible too. 🤡
And it’s odd. Those groups supported everything he stood for before joining Trump. The dirty truth is that they do not mean anything they say. They are mere foot soldiers of globalist oligarchs and can change on a whim.

Simple fix. Revoke their tax=exempt status.
And Alex Soros.
