What a class act! Cornel West said RFK “needs to put down the crack pipe” (and that his family ordered surveillance on MLK) and RFK simply responds with the truth and kindness to West in the best gracious Kennedy tradition; in a word: Presidential.
I wonder what West thinks about other people's crack pipes. Or was that just another deflection from the truth. Kennedy is truthful about his past. The other guy hid the evidence and lied about it during the election . Shame shame we know your name!

This man isn’t a politician. He’s a statesmen. He did what a statesmen does. He told the truth and didn’t try to make himself look good. He answered the question truthfully. He’s got my vote.
This is how a real president should conduct himself. No smears, no “your family did this so boo,” just truth and diplomacy. I’m a registered Green Party voter, but Cornel West is embarrassing himself with his childish behavior. Talk about policy and how you’re going to implement change, not how bad the other, stronger candidates are. For a reverend and professor of philosophy, you’d think he’d conduct himself with better morals and ethics. I left the Democratic Party in 2016 because they clearly stopped representing the people and progressive values, but I’ll switch back in a heartbeat to vote for RFK, Jr.
You do know that both parties will make sure that they're will always be just two parties?,Look how few of them Republicans saw/ stand up to the Biden/ Obama corrupt regime administration? Just a handful. They're all in politics for the easy money they're make. NO physical work and very few of them are accountable to their constituents.
Cornel West raised a legitimate concern and RFKJr answered forthrightly. Respect for these two men and their respect for the democratic electoral process and fundamentals of debate. Unlike the Soviet-style DNC, and RNC for that matter.
@@ag225-mlWhat has a Mistake of Kennedy to do with RFK? At least Kennedy told Mlk about it. And dont forget that JFK died before MLK wich Shows you who was the NO 1 threat to the Establishment.
Obviously RFK is singular as a figure of integrity, authenticity, and honesty. We now desperately need someone with these attributes in the highest office. I would simply ask that those with open minds take a little time to listen to his message. Enough is enough: it's time to nourish a new chapter of American unity. It's time to restore the stature of our freedom to express and dissent from orthodoxy. Kennedy has won my support.
This is why no one dares debate him - master at his craft, knows what he knows, admits hard truths and when to concede points in favor of truth. May he be our next President.
I don't want to ever support a Democrat. But considering the democratic party is attempting to destroy this man, I can't help but be enthralled with every word he speaks. I'm loving this guy.
He kept it 💯 with no hesitation. This speaks volumes for me. Everything I have seen from him has been thoughtful, well explained, without regard for if it is popular or not. I like him and hope to see him in the debates.
Holy shit I'm gonna be so damn pissed if this guy loses. if everyone heard this guy's words directly, not from anyone else, they would all vote for him.
I'm a lifetime Republican but RFK Jr has my vote. He is the most honest, genuine, and wise candidate of my lifetime. He truly cares about our nation and it's people.
I’m a hairs length away from giving up and of all people it’s this politician who puts in to words what I once loved and hoped for in my country. It’s such a hard time, so much defeat. His courage and his conviction to move forward and face opponents and people smearing him, saying he’s crazy. It’s made me actually just hang in there another day.
Same here. Just when I thought there was no hope left for the America I used to love and was proud of, RFK shows up and lights the torch again. So grateful! Pray for his safety.
The current admin>station is his enemy. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is an example of how they are operating to censor him. She led the effort to prevent him from speaking before Congress I'm sure at the behest of the Biden administration. She and the administration failed miserably.

RFK Jr. won't slam anybody because he is not a mean-spirited human being.❤
He cannot be. He’s over 30 years sober and passionate about his recovery. If you know people like him, being kind and honest is core to the program.
