RFK Jr. Responds To Comment From Cornel West Accusing His Family Of Ordering The FBI To Surveil MLK

[@milescoleman910]

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.

[@lukerichardson2404]

Exactly. From what people were saying about West, I would have expected better. I guess not. RFK all the way

[@clutteredgypsie]

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!

[@kimguy4159]

That is the kind of class and kindness which comes with extreme privilege. You cant touch me even if I come from a family of gangsters - so why beat up on your oponent. In the end, the family JFK JR brags about so often were gangsters manipulating a corrupt system to their benefit even if they had to destroy the highest symbol in the black community to promote themselves; just like JFK Jr is doing now.

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.
