Republicans lie and say Biden funded the Hammas -- RFK Jr runs as an independent [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-09 So, Robert Kennedy Jr. decided to break from the Democratic party and run independently—YES! I mean, aww, that’s so sad. We will miss him. Not at all… The move would actually hurt Republicans more than Democrats, who weren’t going to vote for his ass anyway despite what MAGA hoped, so I say, “Run, Forrest, run—you do that independent thing!” x x YouTube Video The RNC is panicking, and rightfully so, attacking the RFK Jr. in ads designed to discredit him ahead of the 2024 elections. Too little too late, though. As per the Meidas Touch Network: Trump supporters and the right’s QAnon, conspiracy theory loving crowd have been conditioned to not go along with whatever the RNC suggests. RFK Jr. goes on all the popular and even the lesser known right wing shows and is friendly with many on the fringe of the right wing. The RNC attacking RFK Jr. will just make him more popular with their voters. They’ll see it as an attack from the “uni-party.” Their efforts will likely just solidify RFK Jr’s support as he continues to eat into the Trump vote. The right’s disinformation propaganda is coming home to roost. Good luck with that, RNC. I LOVE it! WAR! Good Gawd—what is it good for? The Hammas attacked Israel, and conspiracy theories are flying. I can’t claim to be an expert on the Middle Eastern conflict, but I know the Republican spin is disgusting and unpatriotic. First, there is this lie: Biden sent six billion in taxpayer dollars to Iran to fund the attack. ENT! Wrong. The six billion was released during a hostage swap and was Iran’s oil money frozen in foreign accounts! As per The Guardian : The US and Iran have freed five detainees each in a controversial prisoner swap involving the unfreezing by the Biden administration of $6bn (£4.8bn) of Iranian oil money. … The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said he had spoken to the freed US citizens by telephone in what he said was “an emotional conversation”. Among the prisoners is the conservationist Morad Tahbaz, a British-American citizen. Iranian state media confirmed on Monday afternoon that five Iranian citizens imprisoned in the US – mostly for sanctions-busting offences – had also been released. Only two of the five released Iranians have chosen to return to Iran. … Iran’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, said on Monday that the release of the detainees by Tehran was “purely a humanitarian action … in the future other humanitarian actions can be taken”. So yeah, get your facts straight, GOP! check out my substack here to continue the read: oneangryblackchick.substack.com/...
