RFK Jr.: Sophist, Saboteur, Snake Oil Secretary
Manage episode 495751779 series 2355375
Historian Daniel Immerwahr eviscerates RFK Jr. as a master of glib misinformation—“profoundly informed,” yet wielding that knowledge in bad faith to undermine truth and public trust. Kennedy is the conductor of an orchestra of error. Also discussed: how science became political dogma during COVID, how Fauci’s certainty helped fuel backlash, and why a provocateur like Kennedy thrives in epistemological gray zones. Also on the show: Trump’s obscure-commission chess moves, as he "Truths" his way through any Epstein flak.
